ok so i switched my neon se struts for srt struts with the intention of putting on the srt snowflakes. So technically the srt rims should not rub right? has someone done this before that i can get feedback from thanks

I just did this on my girlfriends SE and I didn't notice the tire rubbing anywhere on the rears. I didn't turn the wheel lock to lock to check the front, but I wouldn't expect it to hit anywhere. The 205/50ZR17's will fit under the fenders, but without a lip kit and skirts, they look goofy huge on there.

umm.. im pretty sure you could of used the srt4 rims without using the srt struts.. you would of just had to get a smaller tire. but yes if you did get srt struts put on then they should not rub at all.


are you having rubbing issues or something..?

205 45 17 fit fine with stock struts so u shhouldnt have any problem with srt struts. the spring perch is higher on srt

ah ok cuz the tires are 205 50 17 and they would rub with the stock springs thas the reason i decided it was cheaper to buy struts instead of new tires

Everyone else has it right. They will fit stock struts with smaller tires. Of course they will fit if you use SRT struts, how do you think they fit a stock SRT?

P.S. Technically this should be in Steering/Suspension but since it is more of a wheel/tire issue I'll leave it here.

i am about to put srt wheels on my se with stock struts and using 215 45 17 tires

lol thnx 4 not removin my post but yea they fit fine in the front in the back my mechanic had to do it the ghetto way and bang on the struts to get the metal part a lil bent so that the tires wouldnt rub its like 1/2 a centimeter lol but it wrks!!!

they def won't rub. but if you're lowered, 50's might be too big. my 50 winter tires rub my fender bad. i would suggest 40 or 45
