Ram SRT-10 clone

[vimnjicki]

Just got my 2012 ST and I want to get as close to an SRT-10 truck as I can without the V10, etc. Lowering it with McGaughy's, JBA headers (long tube if I can find them for a California truck), Magnaflow cat back, Vararam CAI unless I can figure out how to make a true ram air hood smog legal and a Diablo tune and maybe a few other mods to start. What I want to know is how wide a tire can I put on the rear? I measured 13.5 inches from the outside edge of the wheelwell to about a half inch from the coil spring. Would I be able to put a 305 or maybe even 325 tire on a 10 inch rim in back and keep the 275's on the front? It is a street truck, my first, all the others being off road so I'm taking it easy until I am comfortable. Thanks

Welcome, where in Cali are you?

 

[vimnjicki]

Thank you. I'm in the IE. Redlands

Should easily be able to run a 305 tire, I have a 305 on my stock rim, no problems at all with that setup.

Sweet, kind of a drive, but if you're interested were having a meet in two weeks...still trying to gather up the guys. There's a bunch of So Cal guys on here but I'm having trouble gathering them up. Check out the details here..

Southern California Meet Sunday 11/30/14

You got mayjor problem.
You bought a 4th gen..


But 305/45s is what you want to run on SRT10 rims anyways.

 

[vimnjicki]

Thanks for the welcome! Damn it but I'm working that weekend. I will be trying to get together with others from around here. Baldwin park isn't that far at all. Are you guys saying I can get 305's on the stock 20 inch rims? That would be cool but I didn't expect that. I'm parting out another vehicle so I'm going to have some cash for a few mods but not everything I want. Thanks again.

If he's lowering it a 305/40 is a better fit.

 

[UNBROKEN]

I like your idea, OP. When I built my R/T my goal was what I thought a modern SRT10 would look like. I came up with this:

 

[BlownGP]

Could you fit 45s on a 2-4 drop?

I run 45s now at stock height and probably could drop it 3-5 or so and be fine. Might rub up front turning though.

 

[UNBROKEN]

Can you? yes. Will it rub a lot? also yes. The 40 is just a better fit for a drop. No drop....45 for sure. I actually ran a 305/35 on mine.

 

[vimnjicki]

Now that modern version of a Ram SRT-10 is a sweet looking ride. Just needs the ram air hood. I'm still hopeful about finding one that will somehow pass California smog. So my stock 20's will fit the 305's?

 

[BlackRamHemi]

If you want to run stock 20" x 9" Sport wheels,
You'll want a 305/50R20 tire (12.4" x 32")

That's what I have on my dropped 10' RCSB 4x4 with stock 14' Sport Wheels






You'll probably want more of a street tread on a 2WD though, like a Nitto 420s

 

[vimnjicki]

Beautiful truck. What drop is that? Yes, i have been looking for a good, high performance street tire for 2wd. Thanks. I will be posting pics of it as the mods are applied.

 

[InspectGWS]

4th Generation Carbon Fiber SRT hood...most tempting modification to date.

VIS Racing 09DGRAM2DSRT-010C - on AMAZON - Price: $1,123.10 + $6.50 shipping

It's a Ground Force 2/3 (only one specifically made for a 4x4)
actual drop is closer to 1.5" front, 3.75" rear so its almost level now.
(Factory rake on a RCSB 4x4 was ridiculous)

If you're looking for an SRT looking Hood, check out the new AMP
Hemi_Express2013 just picked up... its actually functional
