Default Nice 17x8" Mandrus wheels with 25 offset!

I'm still looking everywhere for a pair of wheels for the rear of my SRT-6. A discount Tires rep said that a 17x8 with 22 offset wouldn't fit. But I'm not going to argue with the guy. In the meantime I came across these nice looking wheels.... They are 17x8 with a 25 offset... Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Here's the e-bay link....

I really like those wheels. Classy.

I'm wondering if he told you that for concern abuout the inside diameter not clearing the brake calipers?

Good Hunting!

I see someone posting that his Voxx 17" with 20 offset fits, yet the discount tires guy says they don't? I'll go with what I see in these forums for sure.

I just got a quote from Americas Tires/Discount Tires for Voxx MG 17x8 ET 20 with M/T ET Street Drag Radials last Thursday. We both pulled them off their web as a fit for the Crossfire SRT6. The plot thickens.....

I keep ALMOST pulling the trigger on the Mandrus Milleniums since I bought this car. Just stunning wheels.

Mimi, the tires are P275/40-17. The next size up is the 315 but it wont fit on the 8" wheel. Finding a 17-9 or 17-10 wide wheel with the 5x112 bolt pattern is not happening yet. As suggested by Mopar, we may have to have the 8" widened to get one.

I emailed the seller on the weight of the wheels and said 24lbs. That's pretty good. Only about 5lbs heavier than some of the lightest around.

I was ready to sell my 16" set for these. I figured I'd ask my hoosier rep before I bought the wheels and new tires. I was planning on the 275/40R-17 hoosiers. I just bought my 2nd set of 16's from him. He said stay with the 16's that they hook better than the 17's. I was only changing because the millenium looks killer. Oh well looks don't win races.

Anyone actually fit these Mandrus wheels yet? What's the verdict?

I don't know about the 17", but a couple of members have the 19/18 setup and 20/19 setup.
