Anybody know what 17" rims will fit over the SRT rear calipers? I want to move to 17" drag radials from my 18''s. Let me know if you know a brand or model of rim that clears!

I can't give you info as to what clears, but I thought the issue with smaller diameter wheels not clearing the factory brembo calipers was on the fronts, not the backs. Someone correct me if I'm wrong here. I thinkin' you shouldn't have an issue at all with different wheels on the back, no matter what brand or size you put on.

That's what I thought as well. Anytime there has been a fitment issue it has been with the front brakes.

No, the back have the problem with 17''s too (some anyway) I guess American Racing Razors clear and HHP has som expensive Centerlines that clear. I tried Inferal's 17's for his R/T at the track last year and they would not clear that calipers.

Any standard 17" factory steelie (off any V-6 LX) will work...
I have them on the back of my SRT for winter use. The fronts are a different matter and required 1.25" hub spacers because of the honkin' Brembos'.
If you need a wider rim though, that's a different story as I'm running 215-65-17 Michelin X-Ice tires at the moment...

Hey bro...somehow missed this thread. Yes, the AR Razors are what I am running and they work fine. They're on Mickey Thompson Street ETs in a 275.
I still have to practice launching on them since my best 60 was only a 1.83 lol. Check out my review in the review forum here for thoughts on Elite Wheel. They suck and were supposed to send me the brushed silver razor. Instead, they sent me chrome. Oh well, it was the last week of the season.
