My Silver SRT-8 has been on floor jacks for several weeks now as my rear tires are being split and all the rims chromed. Should be a couple of more weeks and the car will be back together and on the road with 10.5" - 10.8" rims on the rears and some 280 - 295 40's on the rear and 245 40's on the fronts. I haven't fully decided on the rears yet, since there is a very limited selection available in this range of 20" tires. I am trying to stay as close as I can to over all diameter, so the computer doesn't barf all over the place.

Also as a side note, there isn't enough room, even with rolling the fender wells for the 11" split and widen to be a realistic option. I will be having the fender wells rolled as well, and might not be able to get the 10.8's in there. I think 10.6" will be a safe compromise.

The split I am doing is going to be less than the $225 mentioned in the (GS Supercharger report - "Strap yourself in!!&quot post #32, so for those seriously considering doing this, I might be able to work out a group buy. Professional work done on a very expensive lathe and this is all this guy does for a living. Of course Cincinnati is really close to Indiana, so it might actually be a real option for you QuickSilver.

That will look so good going to fatties while retaining the OEM wheel. I have seen them widen a motorcycle wheel before to fit different size tires, mostly on choppers. I bet it will turn out great.FYI: I have personally seen Hennessey wheels in 20x9's 275/35/20 F and 20x10.5's 295/40/20 R. Not a rub, no rolling of the fenders.
