    Can I get some help here? My fenders are rolled, and i am lowered on KW suspension. What's the widest rear tire I could do for my stock SRT wheels?

    Thanks!

    Well, 275's are the largest recommended for a 9" wide wheel. people are running 305's and I think even 315's, but the edge of the tire rolls upwards, really giving you the width of a 275 in the end. Also, it's not recommended AND very much not safe (if that matters)

    Right on, thanks. =]

    I found a set of 275/40/20 for the rears and 255/35/20 fronts. Nitto NT05's. What you think?

    Stay with 255/45's on the front vs. 35's. Also, you should be able to fit 275/40's on all 4 corners though. That'll give you more balanced handling IMO. That's what I've been running for nearly 2 years.
