If shipping wouldn't kill you I'd sell you mine.. I have the 20" 5 Spokes on a local classified right now... along w/ mounted G/Y Wrangler AT/S 275/65/20 Load range E, with about 3k miles on them... here is something funny, those things measure out to 34~35".. I've got the pic's to prove it..

FWIW- they bolted right up to a '98 Sport 4x4 that I know of.. I watched him do it (somebody had to guard the beer), and used to see it everyday until he sold it.

Thanks for the BTDT posts! Looks like this is a swap I can entertain once my current tires run low on tread and it's time to replace them anyway.

I'm with you on this one. I want to sell my 20's from my '04 and find some 17 or 18's. I like the rubber and want something more aggressive that won't break me.

I have a '97 2x4 as well, what is the verdict on this swap?

2WD trucks need to have 3rd gen wheels modded to fit the hub thingy.
4x4's don't.

Wow! those look sweet! I have a 99 dodge and I was going to get 3rd gen wheels on mine. Those look really good, I was looking at the 03-05 20'' rims but these look really good!
