Looks pretty decent! I think it would look better lowered though.

With a drop that would look really nice! Still looks good though, just running slightly too short of a tire.

Here is a drop on the Eibach Pro-kit I believe. It's only a 1.4" drop so it wouldn't be bad to drive.

Chrysler rims eh. My girlfriends PT has the Chrome Rim package, It has all options but Turbo actually, so its nice to ride in. But the freakin rims flake. the chrome didn't last GARAGED for 2 years. its only on TWO of them.....pos. anyways...the car has 70,000 miles on it, its an 02, and it burns oil already. I make sure it stays maintained, so it never drops low, but it's bs either way. The car was babied until 65,000 when My girlfriend became the sole driver. I must admit, its a fun little minivan to drive...lol....i drive it a lot, handles decently for what it is (the damn good rubber helps), its a 5spd too....lots of fun there.

I've driven the turbo Cruiser, its a bit faster....a good bit faster......but it was an auto and thats no fun.


They look goof on your car btw, lol.

Every one on this site will tell you to lower you car.... if you want to spend the money go ahead it would look a lot better.

Wouldn't be as much of a 4x4 if you wouldn't have wasted money on the wrong size tires....

Proper tire size is 215/45/17 or 225/45/17, your speedometer is going to be off as well as your odometer....





I miss her^

Well I hope she doesn't drive with those in the winter... Cause all Chrysler chrome flake and leak so much from people driving with them in the winter. If she is make sure you wash them everytime it is driven with salt on the roads. It got to the point everytime I saw a Chrysler with chrome come in I would take a lunch if I could.

Nice. I almost went with a silver set of those when I upgraded to 17's a few years ago. I had the 16" PT rims in silver on before. A mild drop would definitely make that a very nice looking car.

Out of curiosity, why didn't you try the 205.50.17's that come on those factory. That size would work fine on a J-body.

i needed tires immediately, couldn't take anymore time off work so i had to get what he had. no time to go back and or order tires. but yeah thanks for the comments.

because the tires arent the size the computer thinks they are. computer reads the vss for pulses per mile to get distance traveled. change the tire size, change the pulses per mile. change the pulses per mile, change how far it thinks you've gone. GIGO at its finest.
