Default WINTER TIRES?...PLEASE HELP

I have a question, can anyone tell me or send me in the right direction. I am wondering what you guys/gals are doing for snow tires, im sure some of you plan to drive the SRT in the snow. Icant seem to find a matching size for snow tires, or can you put a 18-19" rim on this car? Please help as the snow is almost here.

Two alternatives

1. Using 20" stock rim size: Pirelli Scorpion Snow Tires 255/45/20s work fine; 4mm taller than stock, no clearance problems front or rear.

2. Using winter rims 18X8.5 Borbet Type TS (Bright Silver Paint) - with Dunlop Winter sport/Pirelli Scorpion/Bridgestone Blizzak 235/60-18 snows

If you have Tire pressure monitoring you will need 4 TPM sensors avail. from Wyckoff Chrysler

From Tirerack: wheel tire package $1600 From Wyckoff Chrysler: TPM $140

Be aware of lower speed ratings on the snow tires

Will the Charger SRT-8 accept a 17" rim?

I have a set of Blizzaks that I used on my SRT-4 that are still in great shape. If I could find a set of 17s, I would save hella cash on tires.

All-Season tires are available as a factory option on the SRT-8. 17" wheels won't fit around the brake rotors. Call Tire Rack, I am sure they have a tire and wheel package available for that size. www.tirerack.com

Tires would be the wrong size and the bolt pattern isn't the same.
