Default What will fit? Wheels?

I have an 05 SXT with the SRT Design package, I am looking to add actual SRT body parts, but first I have to change the factory wheels. I don't mind keeping 15's, but with more offset and a wider/lower profile tire, but the overall circumfrance being the same. I am looking at the ADR Vision, Black, 15x6.5 with 40mm offset and possibly 215/50's or 225/50's. Will this fit? Or does anybody know what will fit without running spacers?

you should be able to fit up to 18 inch rims with thin *** tires. I have 17inch with low profile tires and they fit aliright. I did have to use a weel spacer b/c i got a bigger tire but make sure you get the right tire and you should be fine.

Basically what he said. Don't go too wide. I personally wouldn't go any bigger then 17s unless you're just going for a show car. There really is no advantage to having wheels that big.

Will a 16x7 with a 42mm offset fit with 205/50/16 tires? I believe they will, just wondering if anybody has this combo?

Jayster, what size 17's are you running? I just went and priced new rims and tires today. Not too bad, ICW Wheels 17x7 and Kumho 711's 205/40/17 for $857.99 out the door. Lugs, mounted and balanced and tax.

215/35 ZR 18x7.5 tires (new tires- Dunlap SP Sport FM 901) with 18x7.5 Volt Racing 753 rims. That is the MAX. I have literally no more room.
