Need Recommendation - Tires and Wheels

[Vipermann1]

Well, the time has come (and also I now have the money) to get new Tires and Wheels for my 2000 Viper RT/10.
I am not knowledgeable about the topic but here goes!!!!

I am looking to get STOCK Viper wheels (from either 2003-2010), but will consider after market wheels also.

Wheels: (Trying to stay with Stock Viper wheels from 2003-2010)
1st Choice - So I am guessing 19's front and 20's rear
2nd Choice - 18's front and 19's rear

Tires: (I read all the threads but I am leaning towards the Pilot SS
1st Choice - Pilot SS
2nd Choice - Pilot PS2


I am looking to get some serious street traction and great grip.
So what do you recommend for Wheels and Tires and the sizes?
What has your experience been like on PS2 versus SS.

Thanks you all in advance!!!!

Serious Traction, Great Grip, wont be found in 19-20.

Go for lightweight ACR / Sidewinder 18-19, and SPORT CUPS...proven Fast at The 'Ring !

NO OE Viper has ever sported 19-20, or 19-19 for that matter. 18-19 is 03-10

Your year 2000 is sprung for a wheel-tire package weight, and rotating mass well below 19-20.

I like aftermarket wheels and NittoNT05 tires. Only way i would buy OEM wheels is if they were used for a great price.
Its all personal preference though so pick what you will enjoy seeing on your Viper for the next X years.

I'm pretty sure all STOCK Viper wheels from '03-'10 were 18" in the front and 19" in the rear. Unless you want aftermarket, you will probably have to go with your second choice.
