SRT wheels rubbing struts

Post by RacerX05 » Wed Sep 14, 2011 10:47 pm

i just bought a set of srt wheels and they are rubbing the struts . i had to beat on the strut in order to get them to fit. i am going to buy new tires for them and i was wondering if there was an aftermarket set of struts i could buy that would not have to be beat up so that they wouldnt rub. Please answer this lmao

I think you need to use 205 45 17s or something like that. The stock 225 45 17 will not fit.

It's not the fall that hurts, it's the sudden stop at the bottom!
