Any one know where to purchase a spare wheel for my srt8? Vacation road trip coming up in October..... I cant deal with the no spare thing. Dodge dealer was crazy exspensive.

 

I called around to local junkyards until I found a Charger rim (they interchange with Challenger).

 

Thanks I will give that a try.

unfortunately the charger wheel wont interchange with the SRT8 due to the brembo brakes.

 

I have an RT, so I went & found a Charger RT spare.

I was hoping if he has an SRT, that if he found a CHarger spare for an SRT, then he'd be good.

The Charger wheel will fit over the rear brakes but not the front. You have three options: 1. get spacers for the front, 2. if you get a flat on the front, move one of the rear tires forward and install the Charger wheel in its place, or 3. buy the proper size replacement wheel.

 

the charger rt and challenger se can utalize the 18" space saver spare used on the magnums,chargers and 300C.
the SRT due to the brembos cant use it on the rear due to size difference and possible rear differential damage and the front is due to the size of the calipers.
did the charger SRT8 come with a 20" spare? do they even make a 20" spare? are the chargers Brembos as large as the challenger SRT8s brembos?
all questions that need to be asked before laying out cash

 

Thanks for the input guys. I figure I am down to two options; buy it from the dealer (ouch!) or touch base again with Mike,with RPS (Restoration Performance Center) in Scottsdale, AZ, he left a message that he has an aluminium wheel that will fit both front and back. Will keep you updated.

 

Best I can do at this time, Dodge dealer rear wheel and tire $775. After market rear wheel and tire app $500. Vacation transportation 2000 Dodge Ram truck.

 

$500???? I paid about $150 for this kind of setup at Discount tires (the wheel is for a 300, so it says Chrysler). Eventually, though, I got tired of the full-size tire and wheel taking up all that space in the trunk and went ahead and got the mini-spare through Dodge.
