I was working on a tire size comparison photo shoot leading up to my wheel tire purchase. I'll dig those photo's out and post them. I've got to down load a few off the phone, and shoot one or two more to make the info worthwhile...so it will be a bit later today before I get it together.

Awesome man, thank you!!!

A bit of info up front. The tires I've got my hands on here are the stock 20" Goodyear SR-A's , 275-60R-20's. Then 22" Yokohama Prada Spec X's 305-40R-22's on OEM SRT-10 wheels. Then my current summer tire/wheel set up (you see above) again the Prada Spec X 305-45R-22's .
Stand by for photo's.

I would like a bit more sidewall on the next set, when these wear out.
Yeah, I was worried about a 45 being to much sidewall after lowering it, but I don't wasnt them looking like rubber bands neither! I think a 305/45 will work though, hopefully with no rubbing!!

I had to use .25 spacers to clear my front A-arms. Might not have to use spacers on a 2wd.


Wheel Size 22x10
Wheel Offset 25
Bolt Pattern 5-139.7
Hub Size 77.8
Back Spacing 6.48

I have these same size and specs just in black with machine finish and they fit my truck with no spacers. Even after I just dropped my truck they still clear and I run a 305/45/22 tire. Mine is 2wd though. Only issue is at full lock they will run the sway bar. It’s just not that big of deal to me.

Good to know, thank you!

That was another issue... deciding what offset to go with.

So this is what I've got. I may need to redo the photo's..I mailed them to myself and the size may be off to be of any worth. Tread pattern will help I.D. the tires brand..the Yoko's are the same tread, diff sizes.

When I bought the 305-40R-22 for the SRT wheels on my 03 Q-cab I simply went by the OEM SRT size...never gave a thought to the tire diameter. With the Hellcat reppy purchase I did think about wheelwell opening v tire diameter, after agonizing about the purchase of the wheels in the first place. I like the slightly taller aspect ratio of the 45R's v the 40R's.

Wheel color: The PVD Black Chrome is a weird animal...it looks totally chrome in some light...then gloss black in other light,..overall the effect is pleasing to me. They get lots of complements….or at least comments. :)

One other thing: I changed out the OE center caps to Mopar RAM units. Not to spendy to do...$9.00 each or something like that. Plus a spray bomb of two part catalyzed clear coat..$24.00...ouch! This brought the RAM caps to a similar level of shine as the wheels.

This is awesome! Thank you! Did you have any fitment issues (rubbing) with the 305/45? What offset did you go with?

No fit issues that I’m aware of. No spacers used. Beware: the brake rotors are held in place by a thin spring steel “speed nut” type device. The OEM wheels are clearanced at the wheel lug opening so these “speed nuts” cause no issues, not so for the Hellcat replicas, ....I removed the speed nut things, problem solved.

The back spacing is OEM I am want to believe. (edit: OE Wheels show the wheels spec's to be: offset 25mm/backspacing 6.48 in.) I do not think OE Wheel (my vender) even have optional offsets and such.

Okay thanks, yeah ive seen them in a +18 and +28...I think? Not sure if I'm following you correct on the "speed nut" thing? You said you had to remove this device in order to run the the new wheels? I apologize for my ignorance...

Those are the tires that I’m currently running on mine. I really like the tread pattern and have good ride quality. They do have a small amount or road noise but nothing too terrible. I’ve had mine for about 10k miles and they are not showing any signs of premature wear. I was going to get the Falkens that my lil brother has on his 16 as they are a bit quieter on the road noise and cheaper on the price but the guy at discount was willing to deal and the Nittos only ended up costing me about $40 more for the set.
