as the title says, I have read several threads and I have gathered information about tire sizes vs. wheel sizes vs. struts. So I need to verify I read the information correctly.

I have a set of 17x7 rims, and I need to get new struts as is and tires in about 6 months, But the tires I wanted to run was 205/50/17's. In order to do this and clear with no rubbing I need to run the SRT stock struts.... Correct? I am currently running 205/40/17's and the bumps have got to go. I am tired of it plus getting new struts will help as well. Just let me know so I can make my decision on getting SRT struts or not.

IIRC, srt tire size is 205/50/17. SRT struts will do fine.

stock srt's use 205/50's yes. you can fit 225/45s on 17x7's though.....thats what i run in the summer.
