Default Re: Bigger Rims, Stock look.

It is going to be tough to get much larger than a 20x10 in the rear. I know a few of us have gone larger and even with just a 285 rear tire; I get a small amount of rubbing the inner wheel well on bad roads. I am sure you could go larger, but it would take pounding in the inner wheel well with a sledge hammer and then rolling the fenders too.

The fronts are a whole different story…they are going to rub no matter what. On sharp turns or backing up with the wheels turned, you will rub. This is not a huge deal, but I only have 19x8s with 225/35/19s which is smaller than most and I still got a small amount of rubbing.

Having custom wheels made is not that expensive, and when I say custom I mean sizes and offsets. You can buy DPEs for around $1K each and they will make them any size you want. Much cheaper than 360, HRE and such.

I think it would be interesting to see some 19x11s on a SRT6….I can give you my contact at DPE if you like.
