Anyone have thoughts as to the size of the wheels and tires as well as the manufacturer that will be on the new Viper?

There will be 3 different wheel choices, the tires will be Pirelli and I'm not allowed to say the sizes.

While I am not a fan of big wheels on sports cars I think it will be 19/20s. I will be very disappointed if it's 20/20. One thing for certain, I'd like to see some 365's in the rear. The Viper always had steam rollers and it seems Corvette has gotten very close. Time to up the width!
As far as looks, I don't expect much. There have been ok Viper wheels but I've never seen a factory set I didn't immediately want to change out.

5 spokes are HOT!
I would prefer the offsets to more aggressive, and less wheelgap...then I'll worry with wheel spoke designs

I'd like to see a new 6 spoke design.

365s would be the most ridicouslously awesome thing SRT could do. Same size rear rollers as the Veyron would be very cool.

I'm hopeful they'll maintain a 5-spoke design of some sort.....

True true. I like the 5 spokes a lot. But I'd still put aftermarket on

Would like to see wider fronts, the 10", while decent, was a limiting factor to the car's capability.

I'm with george and Chelsea!
Are you aware of the price of a set of replacement tires for a Veyron? How does $22K sound?
The tires will be Pirelli and probably 335 or 345 on rear. I would bet 19/20.

That has ZERO to do with their size, and everything to do with their exclusivity and high speed rating.
For example, the Pirelli 375/20R21 is less than a standard sized rear Viper tire.

How can I get a set of them.

You may be right. but if true Tire Rack will do even a greater business with sale of Michelins new Sport tire. Watch the posts later about owners changing them out for more grip with Michelins even though Pirelli is a good tire too. I cannot imagine them putting anything bigger than 19s either on the car. Too blingy and less performance.

He's right, Ralph said that Viper wears Pirellis now. The Viper that he drove in Targa Newfoundland wore Pirellis as well.

From the looks of it, 19's in back with 345/30's and 18's in front with 295/30's. Basically same sizes as the ACR. Great choices SRT, as it'll allow people to get R-compound tires for their stock-sized wheels.
Widths don't seem to be available yet but it'd be great if they found a way to sneak in some extra width, particularly in the front.

At the presentation they specifically said 355 backs, 295 fronts.
