Wheel upgrade

I have a 98 Dodge Ram 2WD and what to upgrade the wheels to 20's. The front rotors won't allow that. Is there any suggestion on how I can make this happen? Can I change rotors and wheel assemble?

They should what is hitting. I have a hard to seeing the break rotors getting in the way of a 20" wheel the fit fine with my 16X8. If anything I can see the tire being to big and rubbing.

I wonder if it's the backspacing?

it depends on what back spacing you got on the wheels it self. if the inside of the wheels are hitting the rotors and calipers you may need to get spacers so they stick out alittle to clear the rotors and calipers

Thanks a million!!! You are right about the spacer/adapter. I did a little research and that's what I found out, again THANKS.
