Default 20" Factory Wheels

Sorry if this has already been brought up but I did a search and couldn't find anything. But iw as wondering is there a hub conversion or anything required to use the 20" factory wheels that came on the newer rams? I like the way they look and seen them on a couple of 2 gen rams. any input would be greatly appreciated. thanks.


Anthony

they both use the 5 x 5.5 pattern so it works on the 2nd gen rams.

I think (dangerous thing) that i read a post quite a while back that said you had to put a spacer behind the 20's to work on a 2nd gen, I would really like a set of those on mine.

Lumpy pull one of those wheels off and tell us the skinny!

yea lump... peek back there and see if they used spacers... i dont think they wouldneed them b/c i think the offset is like an inch better then ours that would take care of the gained width of the twankies.. and only and inch wouldnt hurt any bearings...like some idiots gain like 4 inches and wheels stick out like 10 feet and then they wonder why there crappin bearings every 5000 miles

You guys tell me. I took these picks when I first got the truck. It rides pretty good, but when you hit a good jolt in the road, the front end seems to wobble a little. I am going to have it checked out Monday. The truck has over 100,000 miles, so something might be wore out in the front end.

That is a sweet looking truck ya picked up there lumpy. But there is no way to tell from the pics if there are spacers behind the wheels, you have to take one off. Put this thread to rest and pull one off for a quick peek.
