Might want to search the classified ads here at DF. I think there were some pictures there.

Here's a pic of my truck along with my buddy Chad's truck. His is the silver 01 QC with the new 20s. The new 20s will fit directly on to 00-01 Rams, but will require spacers or removal of the center caps on the front wheels on 94-99 Rams.

So I guess this means that the 2nd Gen and 3rd Gen lug pattern are the same? Just want to make sure because I love the look of those 20s, and am new to modding my/ my dad's 98 Ram 2WD Sport.

hi there
From what I have seen and herd 20"OEM rims do not fit with out 2" spacers because of spindals in the front but this is only true for 97 and older trucks .
I hope this is not true because I'm looken to out them on my 97 Dodge Ram Laramie

99 and older Rams require the spacers OR the center cap removal. The reason for this is that the brake setup was changed on the 2000-up model Rams. They don't really look all that bad with the center cap removed on the front wheels, because there is a silver cap that will stick through the hole about a quarter inch, maybe even less, that, from far, looks like the center cap. Another friend of mine has a 98 Ram with a set of the polished aluminum 20s that he had powdercoated black. He left the center caps silver on the back rims, and left the caps off of the front ones. By just looking, you cant even tell the difference. I don't have a pic of his truck, though. Hope this helps, and let me know if you have any more questions!

I know this is an older thread but I did buy some chrome clad factory 20's for my 96 2wd. I removed the center caps on the front wheels and the wheel still will not seat all the way. I'm really bummed because I can tell it's gonna look awesome. Any ideas on what else I can do other than spacers? Please anyone with 20's on their 2nd generation 2wd Rams please chime in. Thanks!

The new gen ram lugs are bigger, so be careful there is no slop when you put those rims on your your older truck.
