Default 2006 18" on a 2004 Enthusiast???

Hey guys,

New to the scene and I have done some reading but I can't find a direct answer to my current question. I would like to put the 5 spoke 18" wheels from an 06 on 2004 enthusiast. Having the traction control in this model what would you recommend for tire size and will it effect anything to the point of needing correction. Excuse this if it seems like a stupid question but I am an old school Mopar Man, A bit clueless in the newer markets. Thanks in advance. Semper FI

They'll fit fine. Run OEM tire sizes which are 225/45/18 F and 245/45/18 R.

There won't be any problems if you just stick with the stock size tires for the Z's that were equipped with 18" wheels. If I recall, they are 225-45-18 on the front and 245-45-18 on the back.

Thanks for the info! Any performance/handling gains from using a different tire size on those wheels?

As long as the circumference between front and rear tires does not exceed 10% your traction control won't throw a hissy fit. There are a couple of links on this site that give tables as to what size wheels you can run with what make of tires but I can't remember the link off hand. Try the wheels and tires section and you'll probably find it there.
Welcome to the site by the way, and I hope you have fun with your 350.
