LOL if she was 4x4 i would be joining u guys with ya lift kits and 35' tyres.

Now this rolling mass thing..? The tyres and wheels that are on it now are dam heavy and would easy out weigh the 24' rim and tyre combo and with the measurments i have calculated the tyre size ends up a bit smaller in diameter then my current 70 profile 16's. Cant imagine braking being much different.

I dont plan on lowering it at all really cause they lose there appeal and start to look like a holden/ford ute.

Has anyone got pics of a 2nd gen Ram on 22's/24's? Zeppelinrocks I would love to see a pic of ur's if u could.

lmao people have 20's on 4x4 . why not 4 more inches. 24's with super swampers=king of the offroad:P ahhaha id love to see a lifted truck rolling on twenny fo's
Unless you're talking about 54 inch boggers, having 24 inch wheels would make it the king of all street ***** 4x4s


If the wheels you're getting are lighter than the ones you have now I wouldn't anticipate any problems. If you drive a dodge you already know they stop about as fast as a freight train.

My next door neighbor has the 3rd gen with the chrome plastic 20's. I did not like it when he brought it home, and now 2 years later they look even worse!

I saw a lifted ford today. He had twin shocks with the resevoirs all around, red traction bars, green everything else underneath, axles black, lifted to the moon and he did not have 24 inch wheels. Hedid havethereal bolts on his (I forgetwhat you call the tire bead keepers on the outside of the rims) rims. Mickey Thompsosons.

But, to each his own. Some people like the 'Dub look'. BTY you had better upgrade your brakes, and plan for an mpg hit. You will also have less power(so to speak)when you tow.

I had to change the 16 inch with the 265's I have, and it was heavy. I can't imagine 20's.

With that said, I would get nice tires and a killer exhast sytem or some roller rockers and studs.

can we get a skin color check here?

while your at it, sell the dodge, get an old 80's caprice, lift it and throw your 24's on it. then paint it with some rediculous color, like "inside peanut butter outside jelly" or some bull****.

oh yeah, then cook up some chitlins, get a doo rag and go get on welfare.
