That Toyo RT Pro is pretty aggressive for an RT, kind of wish those were out more before I got these. I have a buddy that runs the STT's and swears by them. I haven't had an issue so far but I bet when they get more miles on them there will be a drop off in performance. Those Toyos look like...
They are the 8.5" but check Nitto's website for wheel width range, I don't think they'd be too wide. A 1/4" extra per side. Tires are only 75 lbs, can't beat that.

That was my first question. I'm not dropping that kind of money and then having to spend $20k in new axles. Rubitrux and AMW says stock axles are fine with this set up. AMW has turn-key vehicles they sell with the 5.7 and stock axles.
I was at 14.5 mpg on the 3.6L and so far I'm averaging 17 mpg on 5.7L. I definitely don't get crazy with it, I was more after the torq. But it will get crazy.
