Default SRT-10 rim and tire question for my 08 RAM

I just bought a 2008 Dodge Ram and I really dont like the rims however I love the SRT-10 22 inch rims and tires. Would there be any fitting issues with installing those tires and Rims on my 08 Ram?

I always thought you could just put them on. Ive seen people with those huge chrome rims and they never have to do anything to their truck, just put them right on... Just make sure you get a full size spare for those srt 10 wheels.

i really like they way they look however I also like the chrome and black rims your truck is sporting. I own the sunburst orange sport version. My truck is tinted with 35% all the way around. I also have a color matching tonneau cover. Just installed running boards and the automatice rear window and Kicker stereo set up. Also just got done doing two tone leather seats.

Now I am looking to get some rims to replace the factory rims along with a supercharger type setup. Thanks

Is you truck a 4x4 or 2x4? I have 305/45/22's on my 4x4 and had to put 1/4" spacers on front and back. Even with the spacers there is not much clearance at all. See pics. I also rubbed holes in the rear fender liners without them, front rubbed hard going straight.

If you have a 2 wheel drive like srt 10 then will there still be rubbing issues?
How heavy are those wheels and tires compared to what you had and do they grip far better then the other wheel package you had previously?
Thanks for the info...

It will be close on the 2wd's 06-08 since they changed the suspension. They are pretty heavy not sure of the exact weight of them. I had the stock 20's before and they spun all the time. I have General Grabbers now and they really do well. They are not winter rated though.

They do stick out a little bit from the fenders. DOnt have a good pic showing that but this kinda shows.
