Does anyone know the specs of their r/t rims? I am trying to put on my new rims but i have to buy the new tires and they are 215/50/17 but the rims i have are 17x7s with about 6" of back spacing and about 25 mm of offsetting. The rims fit on because i had the wrong tire sizes on (215/45/17) They didnt look correct for my car so idk it the new ones will rub against the struts

 

02 R/T

size: 17x6 1/2jj
offset: 1.81 in. (46mm)

 

Did u find those specs or did u measure them?

 

Straight from the owners manual

 

I thought the R/T wheels were 17x6.5...

 

The manual never lies

 

I just found that also and i found to quite strange that the offset of the r/t rims and the se rims are the same (46mm)

 

So would that be the same as for the 2000 Strat SE? Id love to put some RT rims on mine!

 

No we're talking Coupes. Coupe bolt pattern= 5x114.3 Sedan bolt pattern- 5x100.

 

Not to hijack, but can I just put on any 5-4 1/2 wheels/rims on an 01 r/t coupe? I did the tire calculator at www.1010tires.com and the 205/60/16 will fit nice and that is a very common high production tire. This is my unemployed 19 year olds car and I am not paying for big bling.

The original alloy oem 17 inch wheels were bent bad when she got the car. Could not be balanced. I got some steel 16 wheels and my buddy had some take offs 205/60/16 toyos for $80 set last year from an accord. Those tires have about 1000 miles left on them after one final rotation. They are non directional. I will never buy directional tires again if non directionals are avail because of rotating limits. Now I might get her some nice used 16 wheels from a boneyard or craigslist. But I found out the the sebrings and other convertibles with the chrysler usa motor have a metric lug pattern while the hardtop coupes with the mitsu jap motor have the sae bolt pattern on the lugs.

Any thoughts?
