235 tire width ... go with 40 or 45 high ??
In other words, when choosing between these two, which is correct for a 7.5" rim on a SRT-4 ?

I'd try to get the one closest to the stock size to keep the speedometer correct....

Thank you everyone. I'm going with the 45, as it throws the speedo off by almost 2mph less than the 40 will, and offset isn't an issue.

How exactly is a 40 series tire wider than a 45 series tire? Just curious!

this is an easy one. the 235/40 can not be safely used on a 7.5" wide wheel.
