I hate for you to think we are all ingnoring you but I really dont have any info on this subject. Your best bet is to look up tirerack.com on the net and get there 800 number and ask them. Last time I talked to them they had plenty of answers

good luck

big rims = big issues for your brakes. When you add more steel like that make sure to upgrade your brakes so the can handle all the wieght, otherwise you'll cook your brakes in no time

I'm assuming your going to lower the truck and throw on a set of low pro tires as well? Why do you want such a big rim? 20's are huge, 24's would be enormous!! Plus as you increase your rim size, tires are going to be more difficult and expensive, a smaller rim is going to be easier to handle though.

Im no expert on this by anymeans, I always go up with a truck, never down, but thats my 2 cents

hey I saw a 2nd gen 4x4 with the newer 20" rims on it and it looked pretty damn good. I think it would have looked good on a 2x4 truck...

it might have, but i never have been a huge fans of dubs and low pro tires. 35's on a 15 or 16 inch rim, that screams sexy to me!!
