SRT 4 ACR rim size - SRT Forums

kahuna · 10-08-2009, 05:29 PM

I own a 2005 SRT 4 ACR, and was wondering what the smallest rim size would be that would work on my car for snow tires? i found a set of BF Goodrich Slalom P195/65 R15 on steel rims, and was wondering if i could use those. Thanks?

so if i bought those, they would fit with no problems for my calipers or struts?

I think they should clear the struts, as the tire is much skinnier and you'll gain some diameter clearance there.

I've been using 15" LeBaron GTC wheels for 2 years. The backface of the wheel BARELY clears the caliper but there's plenty of room from caliper to the inside of the wheel. Others have been using 15" steelies for a while.

My tires though are 195/60s. That's about 0.8" smaller in diameter from the 195/65s. You might have some rubbing, depending on the offset of those steelies.

195/65-15 is too tall to fit, basically 25" tall. The ACR is limited to around a 24.2-24.3" tall tire before you run into strut clearance problems. If you pick out a wheel with a lower offset you'll push the wheel out more and gain more clearance between the strut and tire and thus can go larger.
