Hey Jon -

Thanks a helluva lot !

I have been thiking about going to an 18" wheel on the R/T and wanted to
get as close to the 17"s as possible for speedo reasons .

That program works a heck of alot better than anything I found on the net .

BTW - if you have a 255/55-17 , it looks like the 255/50-18 is the best
match .
