Keep in mind...
tokiko blues are stock SRT4 struts
look at a stock SRT strut, it says tokiko on the strut and that the chrystler symbol, and so does the blue
you can run stock SRT4 rims and tires with these struts 205/50/17, but remember! if you do +1 MPH every 15MPH because of the added diameter from stock size to SRT4 size. so
15 MPH=16
30=32
45=47
60=64
75=80
if you run 205/45/17 then it will be +1MPH every 30MPH

I dont blame you, but if you have stock suspension then your going to rub. And the only reason they offer those together probly is cause the store knows that and doesnt want to sell u non fitting things. Im sure if you called they would.

yeah they will be small, but i emailed them and they're the only tire offered with the package, or i can get just the rims for $750 shipped. then new tires seperately, plus mounting and balancing would probably be another $400+. So gettting the 40-tire package works out better ($899 shipped). I'm just gonna ride the 40's til they need replacing then ill get 205/45/17's.

Im running 40's right now and HATE it. I cannot wait to get new struts an srings. I am so close to puting the 15's back on.

40 series tires have a tendency to pop because of the low profile (so I've heard). I've decided to go with the SRT4 struts and brakes (been told nothing needs to be modified for the struts to bolt right up and work perfectly fine) I would be able to run 45 or 50s

...correction, i meant ill get 215/40/17 tires, when the 205/40's wear out, since they are only 0.1" larger in diameter than stock and will only throw off the speedometer by 0.1%

The ride is less comfortable on low profile tires, the rim is more likely to get bent if you go over a severe pothole (because theres less "cushion"), but they certainly dont have a "tendency" to pop...
