I was told the part number were different from Durango to Cherokee SRT8 today. I've been dealing with this parts guy a while but if he's wrong I'd be happy too. vIf they are indeed the same it would be as easy as finding a wrecked 2012 SRT8 Jeep and I know of two places to find one

justforjeeps ran vins for both an SRT8 and a Grand Cherokee and they both came back with the same part# for the spindle....regardless of engine. They are checking with Mopar and I should know more soon.

Funny, I just stalked you over to Jeepgarage and read that :-)

Please keep us posted. I guess if the spindles and knuckles are the same you won't need spacers will you?

I'll have to check the 22" viper reps to see how much clearance they have for Brembos.

Fingers crossed.

Vipers will NOT clear the brembos...not even the 1st gen brembos. FR can attest to that.

So I'm torn between the Vipers and the SRT8 rims. I know I want them in gloss black, but its a toss up for me. I'm sticking with 20s. Both would be a straight bolt-on, right? Nothing special would need be ordered or anything like that?
