Default Dodge Ram 20" rims

I was given a set of factory Ram 20" chrome rims this week. I want to put them on my 05 Dakota. I know they are the same lug pattern, but will they just bolt right up or will the back spacing be a problem or is there anything else I need to do to make them work?

Also, does anyone know what size tire I can fit with a 20" rim?I have airbags on the bag and a TM level kit on the front.

ram wheel fit with out a problem (I have them). Run the 275 45 20 and you will be fine. I hight reccommend the goodyear fortera SL. I had other 20" tires and these are the best for traction thus far (I just have 4x2).

I bought a set of 17"rims from a 2007 Ram and was told at Discount Tires here in Texas that it would be best to put 265/65/17's on. I wanted 275/70/17. Doing some research the 265 setup is taller and wider so that is probably what I will go with. Don't want any rubbing on turning or anything. Right? I am putting these on a 2006 Dak ST Quad Cab by the way.

Thanks for the size. Has anyone ever tried the Cooper Zeon LTZ tire? The specs look good and the prices aren't too bad either.

I hate goodyear's lower end stuff but I have had some very good tires from them before (the Wrangler AT/S tires I had on my 95 Chevy come to mind). Although I somehow doubt you're looking for AT's for 20" rims

Actually I need AT's. I take my truck off road about once a month pulling a trailer. I only go a few miles off road with the truck, but it's a mix of: dirt, sand, sugar sand, and muddy trails. I have goodyear wranglers on the truck now and would like to go a little more aggressive in a 20" tire. That's why the Cooper's caught my eye.
