Cant help you with your size question....but I test drove an SRT in the snow. In Snow mode, the factory scorpions were pretty good in the snow (granted they only had about 30 miles on them....but the good snow performance was one of the factors that helped me decide to switch from a true 4wd vehicle to the AWD SRT)...

 

I got a set from tire rack...

 

The SRT brakes won't allow anything smaller then 20" rims.

 

Yeah I knew those Brembos were HUGE but maybe thought a 19" would still work. Well that simplifies and narrows down the search! I read the jeep SRT wheels fit too. I may look around for someones take-offs that they replaced.

 

My only feed back on the pirelli winters they wear really fast in dry pavement running..after only one season I am down to 4/32.....

 

I just got a set of 20x8.5 +34mm offset Jeep SRT replicas and some 265/50/20 Continental Terraincontact AT tires to make my winter shoes. The biggest thing you need to be careful about when going with narrower wheels is the back of the wheel face can hit the brembos. Stock offset is +50mm and you need to get in the +3x range to get the back of the wheel face to clear.

 

Here are my winter wheels. They are OE Creation replica's in 20x9 +34mm offset with 265/50R20 Continental Terraincontact AT. They are with 0.1" diameter of stock so no speedometer issues. Believe it or not each wheel tire combo is about 4 lbs heavier than stock even though both the wheel and tire are narrower. Shows you the benefit of forged wheels. There is plenty of clearance for the front calipers and the +34mm offset puts the outside edge of the tire 0.03" further out, so basically no change.

Those look nice. My only concern would be they look hard to clean inside those tight slots and road salt is the worst. I haven't had any luck finding anyone's take-offs so I may have to buy new. Where'd you buy those rims?

 

Yeah, those Spider Monkeys are a pain to clean, I had a set from BBWheelsOnline.
They are having a sale right now on other styles .

I'm also searching for snow tires that will fit my OEM rims but not in the 295/45R20 size, too expensive. So what size(s) will fit my original wheels? Much appreciated.

 

Try a tire calculator website. 265 50 20 is closest, 0.5mm shorter overall.
255 55 20 is 15mm taller overall.
275 50 20 is 9.5mm taller overall

 

Exactly. Not to mention there are tons of tire options for winter in the 265/50R20 size

 

Perfect, thats the info I was looking for.

 

I'm in western PA also around Hermitage area. I've run the stock pirellis for one winter already no problem but I'm also not in the country.

 

Would the 20x9 +34 offset and 265/50/20 fit over the Upgraded two piece Brembo brakes? Looking to put together a winter package but all the sites cant confirm this fitment.

 

The rotor diameter wasn't a problem on my one piece rotors, it was the caliper that was close. If the calipers are the same for both tht one piece and two piece brakes you are good. If not, then it's anyone's guess.

 

 

265 50r20 will fit to srt 20×10?
