Default bigger rotors only

Can you put bigger rotors on the 2006 R/T's with out upgrading the calipers?

Also are the SRT rotors bigger and will they fit on the R/t hub?

No,you needthe rotors, calipers, spindles and everything else up there because they don't bolt up to the 5.7 stuff. You would bebetter off getting aftermarket stuff.

Will the calipers handle a bigger aftermarket rotor?

I think your asking the wrong question. You should not ask if they fit. Instead try matching new rotors to to the existing calipers. I will bet that someone has some nice slotted or drilled rotors that are "matched" to the calipers. The rotor and caliper are part of a system and should be very carefully upgraded, because your life may depend on it.
