Hey guys. It has been a VERY long time since I have been here. I had some problems with users here over a year ago so I took an extended break. Since I was gone, I have been focusing on my gun collecting hobby. But now I am back to working on my 2005 sxt again. Recently, my brother traded in his 2005 crossfire for a 2004 neon srt-4. When he got his new rims, he gave me his stock srt ones. They are powdercoated black and look really nice on my car. Here is the dilemma. I have been googleing about fitment on the sxt and there were a few posts here and thats what led me back. The tires on the srt rims currently are 215/45/r17's. They feel a little squirrely on my car. I do not see anywhere they could be rubbing but I have only had them for a couple days. Also, it could be that the tires are used and worn a little weird as his srt is lowered. What I want to know is if this tire size does or does not cause rubbing issues with a stock sxt suspension. The reason I am posting a new thread on this is because the threads I read only talk about the stock 205/50's and 205/40's and one mention of 215/40's. Thanks.

 

I know of some sxts guys that are running with srt wheels and they run 215/40 tires with there srt wheels. You should try 2nd gen forum there are some that run there sxts with srt wheels they can tell you better seeing not many on here have srt wheels on there sxts .

 

Thanks show. Once I figure it out, I will post up some pics of my beautiful baby.

 

Yes please do would love to see your 2005 with srt wheels painted black. I have some acr bbs wheels painted black that I might put on my 04 sxt . srt wheels are awesome lookin in 17s or 16s.

 

From 2GN:
If you really don't need the SRT wheels and tires, I'd pass on them all together. Those wheels, with tires, weight quite a bit! You are looking at about 40-45 pounds, per wheel and tire. So take 40-45x5 and you've got 160-180 pounds of just wheel and tire.

 

Its all in what you want if you got them from your brother I would use them and in my op the srt wheels in black look awesome and have seen alot of sxts running around with srt wheels on them and they love them and have no issues with them.

 

The only other way for the tires to fit is to have SRT4 struts on your SXT. Other than that, your tire size has to be abit smaller to fit on your stock SXT strut. I have the SRT4 struts, I was running the stock srt4 tires and rims on mines. But now, I'm running the stock sxt rims and tires, due to the snow here in the four corners area. I can always switch back anytime.

 

I have SRT4 rims on my 2000 es neon. Although I did have to put smaller tires on them because the stock tire size would rub against the bellhousing I think? ps: how do you powercoat rims? i want mine black

 

Im going to paint mine sometime or you can get a powercoating gun from ebay or harbor freight if you have one.

 

Will a set of 15x6.5 rims with a offset of 45mm fit on a 2004 dodge neon sxt?
