That's good news for me, since I plan to alternate between the stock wheels for winter tires and the SRT8 wheels for summer tires. Having to swap studs each time would have been a royal pain. Thanks!
The custom wheels for our SEMA project car are scheduled to arrive in Texas (where the car is now) in two days. After they have been fitted, the SRT8 wheels will be shipped back here to me in NJ. Since I'm leaving for the SEMA show next Friday, I don't expect to have an answer for you until I return from Las Vegas the following Thursday. I'm sure I'll want to try installing those wheels as soon as I get back.
Just in case I'm one of the unlucky ones who requries spacers, I'll order a set today so they will be on hand if I need them. I'll also let you know if the brakes require the spacers. My concern would be clearance between the back of the spokes and the face of the larger calipers.

Hey Dave, if I recall correctly the spacer does not sit exactly in the center of the hub, reason being, the spacer I have is a universal spacer which can be fitted on other cars I quess. So when I placed the spacer onto the hub through the studs it hangs a bit down ever so slight. When I put the srt8 rim on, the rim is centered by the studs. Does that make sense? Anyhow, write me if you have other questions and please let me know if the big brake kit fits on a 5.7c rwd with srt8 rims on it. thanks pawalu
