Does anybody know how to mount 20" 3rd Generation factory wheels on a 1998 2wd Ram? I've seen it done, but need help!

Raise vehicle, remove lug nuts, remove wheel and tire assembly, install new wheel and tire assembly, install lug nuts, torque lug nuts to specification, lower vehicle, drive and enjoy.

GMsucks,

It's not that easy! If it was, I wouldn't be asking for advice.

If they have the same bolt pattern, the correct back spacing, and the right offset it would fit no problem.

They should be the same bolt pattern (5x5.5), but I don't know about the offset on them or if you'll have any clearance problems.
