Tell us whom you spoke to Bane so we can all know who's talking shit... and wtf about staggered? lol Obviously the guy doesn't know what he's talking about. I'd suggest cancelling the transaction mate.... and welcome to you, we all look out for eachother here ;)
Nice Jeep mate! :)

So I was told by a bunch of people out here in ma that the staggered would screw up my car because of the all wheel drive I mean the srt8ers are all set but what us hemi riders? lol please someone get back to me on this soon because I was told by David at FR that I can change my order if I decide to go staggered instead, so someone please help me out, I understand your all happy about the rims but help a brother out u know.....and btw thanks for the open arm welcome lol....

here is a quote
"Only 20x9 Chrome finish available now. We will have 20" & 22" staggered fitments as well as gloss black and machine face/black windows finishes within 60 days. I will post additional sizes and finishes as they become available."

so it appears 22 in 60 days. now FR 60 days and the rest of the world are a bit different. but it does sound promising!

Well I got nothing to lie to u about how about if u answer the question??? My original post was a question so hemi your on the same boat as I am what should I do, and since u seem so interested in them what fitment would u get???

Nooooooooo I ordered 20x9 but I want staggered.....sorry about that....so what should I do?

why wont anyone answer his question??

you're asking if you can have a 22X9 in front and 22X10 in back? if FR says its ok, then its fine. The SRT is an AWD truck just like your hemi. It has 20X9 in front and 20X10 in back. The only problem you would have with 4wd is if the overall DIAMETER of the tires+wheels is different front and rear, NOT the width. (to a point)

What these guys are saying is that FR has not announced the availability of black 22' viper wheels... so im thinking we have some sceptical people...

Ok I'll rephrase my question are any of you guys with the limited or laredos going with the staggered....I was just worried cuz I went to zekes in dighton ma and he told me that he'd stay away from the staggered on my truck.....that's all I'm sorry if aggravated any of yall with my questions....it just my first time hooking up a car so I'm very nervous and that's why I'm asking yall cuz u guys know what's up.....and Rel thanks for your post and that's exactly what FR told me....like I said I just want my truck to look the best it can but I don't wanna pay for it at the end and rob I will def have pics up soon.....I don't have a car domain but I wanted to wait until the 26th for the rims to get here to postem.

Is that the only upside to the 22x9s? lol
 
#27 ·
honestly if you all trust what FR has to offer in diamiter size, and truly believe we wont have any issues with our ride please lemme know cuz i need to switch this order pronto....

No way Jose lol just wait until I get wheels and I'll have every dope chick I know taking glamor shots with it lol

yeah staggered will work.. but then things get complicated when replacing/rotating wheels/tires...

when i get my SRT reps... im getting 20X9 all the way around. thats what "I" would do... only because im willing to give up the fat back tire look for a little more practicality.

No rumors bro FR already took $1,975 outta my bank account.

sooooooo....sorry for the rude welcome! I can answer all your questions and I love any questions from people who dont know...so POST away and dont feel like a newb. Questions like this are what makes the forum experience so good. Most of these guys were newbs once too and asked the same questions....so ask away.

the staggered fitaments will be fine. My truck is a 4.7 laredo and I have the OEM SRT 20x9's and 20x10's. I have had them for over 3 years with no problems whatsoever. I actually think the look is awesome and I recommend it. Tires are gonna be more expensive for ya...becasue they will need to be staggered as well. For instance...my front tires are 255-45-20 and my rears are 285-40-20. So if you want the staggered look...go for it...it LOOKS the BEST IMHO.

Glad to have ya and sorry for the kinda rude welcome. All of these guys forget they were the same way at one time. Enjoy the forum and ask any questions and start any thread you desire....

thanks a lot man....so just take FRs word and go with what ever package they send me that's staggered? I'm just hesitant man, but do you think the same size all around isn't queer? Cuz I oviously want the best look but I also don't want any headaches....
