Default They showed up early

Tire shop called tonight, said tires and wheels were there, so I went to pick them up. Still not putting them on until the weekend of the 29th. Time and weather issues.

I plan to raise the front 1". Overall diameter of this tire is the same as the facotry tires, they just look bigger due to the 17" rim and bigger blackwall. They are most certainly wider, 12.5"

Just in case you missed my other post

MT Classic II 17x9
Cooper Discoverer STT 33x12.5x17

Total was just under 1800 (including lug nuts)with all fees, taxes, ect.

Size comparison, Viper to the left.

It was the lowest I could find here. The MT's add some cost. I had quotes as high as 2150 to this one, which was 1777 with tax, then they threw in 20 lugs for $20.

No they are going on the Viper

Going on the Hemi, it is a 4x4, deserves 4x4 tires.

Will not affect performance much, tire diameter is the same.

so i guess you bought these tires to keep you happy until 09 instead of buying the same truck but with 0 miles.

Oh yea, right

Yes, this is my gift to me for not signing the dotted line, but I also told myself if I put $$ into the Hemi then I am waiting until the 10 model year. Besides I heard the word hybrid for 10.
