Default Advice on Wheels/Tires

Hey guys,

I'm looking for some rims and tires and I need some advice. What Size, what brand, Chrome, etc...? I'm going to put a 1.5' drop on the car and I need some rims to really dress it up.

I don't know what would be best for wheel/tire but after you figure out what you want to do I would find a place that is very good at alignments and get your car corner balanced. Dropping the car will change the camber and toe and this will need to be recalulated or you will be buying aloto of new tires and be wonding why your car no longer handles as well.

If you are going to be dropping your car by installing the Eibach Pro Kit springs, the alignment might not be that big of an issue but it will definitely need a good alignment done after they are added. I put them on my car, did a full 4 wheel alignment (front was WAY out on the camber and virtually no toe adjustment). Thing corners like my old Vette now! Since I have an SXT, no rear anti-sway bar but.......... it will have one before Christmas!!!

Thanks for the Info. But I still want to know what rim to get? What looks good on these cars?

I like the classic look of my 22x9.5 Status Messiah chrome wheels with Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico Street Sport Truck All-Season tires in 265/35R22 102W for about $3,000.

This combo is 1.4" taller than OEM, so it would raise the Magnum ~3/4".
