[texasram]

Any good threads on wheels for Gen V.s?.....Anybody tried the OZ racing?....So many choices....HRE,CCW,ADV.1,OZ etc....pix appreciated if available.

whats wrong with the factory wheels???? need a different size for some slicks or something??? just sayin, that would be the only reason i would switch from factory unless i had rattlers

Thanks NT-ACR!......Hey TexRam I like the oems well enough but they aren't solid black or polished so they always appear just a little musty I guess.....not sure...just exploring options....1st viper ive owned where I really don't feel the need to mod....EXCEPT wheels maybe.

Damn....might have to pursue these..

Which are those Boba?

Which are those Boba?

iForged Icon rears are 21x13.5 and the fronts 20x11
Pirelli Pzero Neros 355/25/21 rear and 295/25/20 front

I posted them on the first page.

Are those wheels on the ACR-Es strong enough? When I was considering an ACR-E I was going to put 18s on the front so I had more tire choices. SRT engineer tells me that I would have to constantly check wheels inside and out for cracks due to the force exerted by the higher downforce of the ACR-E. He said that no stock Viper wheel was strong enough for the ACR-E but how do you know if an aftermarket wheel is strong enough?

I honestly have no idea, George. I guess you could send a company like HRE, Forgeline, etc. a stock ACR wheel and have them run it through their computer system that highlights where the most stress would be exerted on the wheel. After that, compare those figures to their wheels' numbers.

[NT-ACR]

so who has 18 0n front and 19 in rear for hoosier tires? anybody? I would like to run the new r7 on a e car in this set up

The Finspeed setup I posted earlier has 18X12 and 18X13 rims running 335/30/18 and 345/35/18 Hoosier A7s. Is there a particular reason you want a 19'' rear?

I guess the bottom line is to check the wheels for cracks periodically.

Oh see it now NT...thanks.

I was thinking the same thing... dayum!

No problem. Glad to help.

That would be probably be the easiest solution.

18" fit the calipers? I didn't expect that to be honest.
But why go 325 on front instead of the stock 295? That's a 30mm difference and unless the offset has changed you'd get some clearance issues.

Yes, they do fit. Guys like the 18'' rim because it allows them to use a wider variety of track oriented tires from semi slicks like Hoosiers to full slicks like the ones from Michelin and Pirelli.

The reason they've gone with a larger front tire is to reduce the understeer that some have experienced. Also, while it does take some adjustment, the guys seem to not be having issues with clearance once the cars are properly set up.

I think most people do it for the looks. Personally I don't like the 18" wheel in the front that leaves a larger gap all around in the front fender vs the rear 19" that fills the gap nicely. The gen V will be the first car I've had ever where I have no desire to upgrade the wheels because I like the sidewinders so much. I've considered having a 19 cut, narrowed and wielded to use for the front but I don't know if that would compromise strength/safety.

Gotcha, thanks for the explanation, makes sense.

No problem.

[Eugene Lee]

what offset do you guys thing would fit a nice stock tires but pushed out more, the RC100s look good but seems the front is not as flush

[aspman]

Those 360 forged SL10s are badass!

[jpgunn123]

Very nice!
18x12 & 335's fit up front with no rubbing??

Ron

No rubbing. You get an occasional pebble caught between the caliper and the Wheel, but it is nothing I am worried about. Working great.

The Finspeed setup I posted earlier has 18X12 and 18X13 rims running 335/30/18 and 345/35/18 Hoosier A7s. Is there a particular reason you want a 19'' rear?

Easy enough to do a 19" rear. I also think that an 18X11 with a 315 is probably fine too. Forgeline, CCW, Finspeed all seem to have options.

Straase makes a similar design which is a much better wheel company than Iforged (so I'm told by a guy who I trust that's been in the wheel game for a while now)...
