Well it says it in you sig, so I don't feel bad saying it: Those wheels look like flowers.

I like these factory dodge 20's quite a bit.



Truck does look nice though

they look good. (I do like the style 2x1972 shows a little better..)

Do you have any problems with rubbing? Did you add spacers?

How much tread left on your old tires, what size are they, and where are you?

They actually stick out about an inch or so more than the stockers and i didnt add any spacers just new chrome lugnuts. My old tires were 285/75/16 and had about 15% left on them. Im stationed at Ft. Riley, KS.

honestly.... i dont like em. tires are too small, and youre driving a truck, not an escalade, or an import of some sort. i would have gone with some meatier tread, as well as taller tires, just sayin...

I Kindve agree with redneck ram on this one.

Personally I wouldn't be caught dead driving a truck with those tires, I was embarrassed enough with my stock tires. But everybody has their own preferences soo

On the drivers door it says 245/75/16. I thought the same at first but I have been in Kansas since July and have not gone off road once since I've been here. And since im not back home in Indiana my truck is a street queen. It is also the first time i have had directional tires and im loving it.
