Stock rims any ideas on what i should run? the fronts are still stock and in good shape. do I need to change all 4? the guy who had it before me never rotated them but when I got the car it only had 15k on it.

Depends on what your looking for. If you are looking for an affordable performance tire I would with the Nitos. I run 75's on the back with 55's on the front.

The only thing bout stagger is you can't rotate tires. Yeah it looks good but save yourself some coin and get the same size on all 4s just my opinion.
Unlike the AWD vehicles that highly recommend you replace all four tires, you dont have to with the SRT8s, other than the Jeep.
So No, dont replace all four, unless they are needing it, most likely its just the rear tires.
I would find some rears that are the same size as the fronts, that way you can rotate them.
Nittos are a great performance tire!

Yeah I just replaced my 245 fronts & 265 rears with 275 all the way around. This way I can rotate. I was looking for 255 or 265 all the way around but couldnt pass on these as they were $200 for the 4. My rim is the same width rim and same rim as yours, mine are just Chromed. |

Like Chris said... I'm an AWD and I only have about a 3/16 or some stupid tolerance in wear from front to back... But, because I'm AWD I also know the benefit to rotatable tires. I run 265/35/22 on mine. One thing I will say, eBay frequently gets decent take offs of the factory Goodyear tires that you can likely find another matched pair to what you have in good shape.
Granted I've only ran one set of RS-A tires and got a whopping 10 or so thousand miles out of them... they were at least fun while they had tread.

Okay im going to show how little i know about cars again. Is there any reason a 255/35r20 would not work on my standard srt rim. thanks Hey Evan, You are good with 255 (width) 35 (sidewall height) 20(rim size) tires, it is a little more low profile (35) versus the stock (45), so you might feel every little bump or dip in the road, also stay away from Pot Holes with a 35 series tire, as there isnt much tire to cushion your rim, ask Richard but I think he had 22s that were 30 or 35s sidewall height. But you are good with any width tire from 245-275s on the stock 9 inch rim. Infact I have ran 245s, 255s, 265s, 275s and now 315s on a widen rear rims and they are also 35 series. Hope that helps, let us know if you have any other questions. |

I have 35 sidewall on my 22s and it does ride a little stiffer compared to the 45 sidewall on my 20s.

I took alpinewil81 advice and went with some Nexen rodians 275/40/20 They seem good so far and were half the cost of the other tires I was looking at. Thanks for all the help with the sizing, it was an education. I also like the width.
