Hellcat wheels on a Ram???

[heefageLA]

Next question... will a 2" lug nut fit, or will the spline drive stick out? If so...I wil just go with a standard lug nut.

That would stick out I think. I used my factory lug nuts because the color matched well enough for me. Be sure to make known to the tire shop that the impact gun WILL scratch the inside of the lug nut hole. The socket was barely small enough to fit inside there. I wrap my socket in masking tape now when I have to take the wheels off to keep from scratching them up.

I’ve run the factory OEM lug nuts with out issue. They are not 2” in length I don’t think.

This is what I have. One thing to keep in mind is that with a +25 offset and 10inch wheel the they do stick out just a bit past the fender well so you will experience a little more road grime thrown on the sides of the truck.

Oh okay, I was under the impression from other people that the factory lug nuts were to big for the reps and had to go with a smaller diameter lug nut. Cool, glad to know that the factory lugs will fit. Thanks!

Nice looking Ram bro! The wheels im getting are a +18 offset so they should fit nicely.

Yeah the +18 won’t stick out but I couldn’t find the machine face I wanted in anything but a +25.

The caliper covers can be had from multiple places like summit, Amazon, eBay, as well as I believe a few of the vendors on here. I got mine from eBay for just under $200. Just search MPG caliper covers and they should pop up. Just don’t buy direct from the manufacturer as they are more expensive.

From the Mopar Caliper store silly!

(Sorry, couldn’t resist)

Google MGP Caliper Covers.

Beware, the cost of entry can be rude these days. I went Auto Anything a year ago on a sale.

I do not know how many venders are selling the Hellcat rep type wheels, but my stock chrome lugs worked fine, after receiving a set of black lugs with the wheels ( I ordered chrome). OE promptly sent a complete other set of chrome lugs that I have yet to use.

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.

Hope so! I plan to lower it also, but that might take some time. Thank you for all your help!

Some people love them, some people hate them. I personally felt that since the wheels were so open, and you could see the rotor and caliper so well, it needed something to dress it up. I thought hard about painting my calipers, but everything I seen didnt look good enough to me. I thought also about spending $600+ to have the nice calipers and rotors, but it wasnt worth it.

I cut my rear springs a couple weeks after I bought my truck new. Added bags and put about 25k miles on it so far. Looks and rides good
