You're right, R/T rims are 17x9, and come with 255/55R17's. I think the
widest I've heard anyone running on their R/T's is a 275, a lot of people
are running the 275/50R17 Nitto's and having good results, that's probably
what I'll switch to when I finish burning off my RSA's, did I say burning
off, I mean, when they're worn out at the normal stated mileage ;P
