Put a 01-02 RT front end on it, coilovers, fix dent, get it running, enjoy.

Or....

Put the SRT engine and rear bumper on the RT then scrap the SRT shell.

Painting the bumper would be cheaper then fixing that 1/4 panel damage.

Haha Im a Jeep guy too! I have a 94 ZJ.

Anyways Modern Performance sells spacers and their customer service is top notch. Other then that Jegs or Summit Racing are both good too.

IMO 225's look silly and are to much tire for a neon. I would go with a 215.

Test fit them on your car. If your buddy really wants to sell them, Im sure he wont mind.

The width and offset can be found on the back of the spokes of the wheel, near the hub, in the barrel, or a sticker on the barrel.

I can guarantee those wheels are still expensive, common bolt pattern or not. The cheapest wheel they list on their website is still $470! Thats for a 13" wheel in 4x100 or 114.3 BP!

Actually Sport Compact Car Magazine put these on Koni yellows for their 1st gen project and they loved them. But they also said it was a VERY VERY bumpy ride.

If I recall correctly they had the Konis revalved, or had custom spring rates. It was one or the other I just cant remember which.

Speeder. There is only one tire that is recommended that will clear the non-SRT struts (OEM, Blues, or KYB) and fit a 6" wide wheel. That one tire is the Yokohama S. Drive in 195/45/17. And no, Blues with Eibach springs should not be able to fit 205/50/17's. So you were misinformed. Read the very fi...

I meant barely fits as in it is almost the exact size of the wheel. Makes the setup look cheap IMO. I guess I could have worded that a bit better. And the reason the SRT comes with a 205 is just that, because there are no smaller width tires widely available for a 17" wheel. It doesn't bulge as muc...

Regarding the '205 on a 6" ' discussion, I have to disagree that it is the "ideal" size. A 205mm wide tire is over 8" wide. That's an inch of tire bulge on each side of the wheel. I run a 205 on my stock 15x6's and love them, but the fitment is unconventional to say the least. I personally hate tir...
