Ron Jon Servo's

Hey, I was looking to get a set of Ron Jon Servo 18'' Wheels for X-mas this year, but don't know a thing about tires and specs and whatever. I was wondering if someone could please tell me what offest and dimensions I need to get when I step it up to 18'' wheels. I know the stocks are like 250/50/17 or something, but have NO clue what those numbers mean!!

Thanks alott!!~

that's why the telephone was invented. just call rondy himself and he should be able to answer all your questions.

17" = rim size in inches

50 = aspect ratio of the height of the cross section to its width. 50 means the height is equal to 50% of the tire's width

250 = the width of the tire in milimeters

The stock tires are 215/50/17. If you ask Ron Jon, he'll give you his opinions on which size tires to get. On 18s, most people get 225/35, I believe.

235/40/18 is the size you want. Won't rub, the speedo will still read as close to stock as possible and it will give you decent protection against potholes.

you should call Rondog yourself. you'll get all the answers you could possibly want in minutes.

what drop are you looking at in the future? that definitely has to go into consideration as far as to picking tire sizes.

the Koni's are a good choice. but i don't think you want an uneven drop. if you do, get the CTs. i may be getting rid of mine soon(or at least the rear).

Yeah, we're having a Dec-Jan Sale on select Servo models in 17" and 18" this winter. Mostly on the 18" chrome with a 50mm offset. So call in for the best deals.
