Hey, I'm a girl new to this site and newish to trucks. Owning at least, and need some help in upgrading my rims. Is a 20" rim doable on a 2000 Dakota Quad Cab 4x4, 6x4.5? I found some rims that require an adapter to a 6x5.5 so is that enough spacing or am I going to need low profile tires? Was also looking for a lift for it. Suspension or body and how high you think I need to go?

Thanks guys for any help

 

Truck currently has stock 15s with 31x10.50 michelins.

 

20's should fit and yes u'll need a lower profile tire....with a 3" body lift u can fit 33's under it no trouble

 

if you crank the torsion bars you can get between 1-2 inches of lift.

 

how do you crank the torsion bars?

 

if u crank torsiona bars it won't extremely change ur ride quality but u will chew tires up, no doubt. Not bad for a sunday driver but if its a commuter, bad idea

 

as long as you get your wheels aligned its alight.

 

you cant get it aligned correctly with the ride height all messed up from cranking the T-bars.

 

So 20"s are good to go and a reccomendation of a body lift? But what size tires? I'm not really looking for a big beefy tire, just a regularish one. I do mostly street driving, it's my daily driver, with only the occasional trip to the Lock Lomond Mud Run competition to help haul the Fords out of the mud

 

you'll want 275/45 r20
