Ok, so I'm not all that well versed in wheel terminology and measurements for aftermarket rims, so pardon my ignorance.....

I have always loved the new style SRT Jeep wheels (2011-2013), but I have always wondered why no one has ever put them on their Durango? I see some people have gone with the reproductions vice the OEM's, but I always just figured it was due to the price difference. If someone did have the money to buy OEM Jeep SRT wheels(the new WK2 style, not the old WK style), would they fit on the Durango? I remember asking this question on here before, but I was somewhat confused and still didn't understand why people said they wouldn't fit when it seems as though anything that fits a JGC would fit a Durango, since they're essentially the same platform. Even if they are wider or skinnier, wouldn't that just make the wheel and tire stick farther in or out from the wheel well?

 

i have a set of oem srt wheels, wk2 style sitting in my garage, they were supposed to go on last week, but i spent too much time trying to find my front jack points hah.

i have the runflats on my oem srt wheels btw. I was told they would fit no problem, just havent had the time to install.

 

One of the reasons is they are 10" wide and the jury is still out if they wont affect the steering pin to pin
The other reason is cost. Unless you get a deal like UFO above they are upwards of $3K a set

main reason that i went with them is that i am doing the brembo upgrade as well, figured it i'm putting so much into brakes, mind as well put on the same tires/wheels they normally pair with! I believe someone with brembos on their durangos ran 10" wide with no problems.

 

I had a similar concern. I just found a set of Alcoa rims that are spot on like the 2006 era srt8 rims. Theyll need new tires, but he said the back wheels are wider than the fronts. He has 285/40/20 on back and 255/40/20 on front. Would the width difference screw up an awd transfer case?

 

As long as the circumference is the same front to back you will have no issues. Width doesn't make a difference.

The answer is yes. Not all AWD systems are effected but most are and the DD AWD is for sure.
As for your tire sizes a 285-40-20 has a diameter of 28.97 inches and a circumference of 91.03..... The 255-40-20 has a dia of 28.03 and a circ of 88.06.. They are close enough that it will be drivable. ( may cause an CEL) but would most likely cause damage over time.

 

Yep. It about $900 delivered to your door for the repros vs. about $3000 for OEMs picked up at your dealership. Also, my repros are 8.5-inch vs. 10-inch so I wouldn't have to go to the larger tire.
My dealer quoted me $120 to mount the tires (going to 20-inch vs. OEM 18-inch) and $40 to re-flash the speedo for the 20 inch tire. I'm also going with new OEM TPMS off eBay for around $40 because the originals are 2.5 years old and they have an average life span of 5 years, allegedly. So as long as I'm breaking down the tires I may as well add new TPMS now to save the expense ($100 +/-) of doing it later.

p.s. you'll probably need 20 new lug nuts also, which run about $30.
