I made a Magnum with Illustrator and it has 24in wheels and some vinyl graphics. Tell me what you think. I have a 2005 Ram posted in the 4G Rams

I like the graphics but the I'll leave the 24" for the rich folk who don't car if they tear up their car for looks. I put 20" on mine and the tire dealer said if I went any taller I was asking for problems. Not to say they don't look sweet but I want to build my car for looks and proformance. Could you even put 24" on a Magnum? Anyway nice pic.

I have been told even 20's will screw up the tranny. I heard that from a dealer. Anyone heard anything like that?

All I can say is that my dealership is the one that PUT the 20's on my car. I guess that means either my dealership doesn't mind covering warranteed parts because of their modifications or the dealership that gave you that info doesn't know what they are talking about. Your pick.

The dealership where I get my car serviced loved the 20" and said they were going to put it on the R/T they had on the lot. Also the SRT-8 comes with 20" and still has the same tranny. This tranny that is in the R/T magnum is the one that is coupled with the mercedes V-12 and I believe that that model comes with either 19" or 20" wheels.

The dealer where I got mine now sells them with 20" rims. Judging from experience, I'd say the sales rep you talked to doesn't know jack about the Magnums. Mine didn't either, and he was supposed to be certified with that vehicle. :WHT:

Not to mention I've seen several people on this board with 20's and even one with 22's

Good start, keep at it, but:

Those graphics detract from the long low lines of the Magnum!

Tint the front windows!

24" wheels are too large to properly fit! The maximum size is 22 x 9.5 (+10 Offset) with 265/35WR22 tires, which work very well indeed, and don't look too small or shabby!! :evillaugh
