What wheel should I buy ??
I cant find the jesters with the right bolt pattern, maybe it was never a option and did not know it, I am going to go watch some tv and get away from the computer I have had enough for now.. Cya Slick
I vote the SRTs!
Damn it, I told you about this dilemma already and what to do!
Here is Scottscans truck. It is my personal favorite. The rims aren't black, but they are SRT. His is lowered, but if you wanted a lifted 4x4 look, but some low-pro A/Ts would fit with spacers, and look bad ***.
Here you go, if I go with this SRT-10 Wheel I want to go with the cooper Zeon 275/55/20 because the side wall height on the 285/50/20 is just a tad to narrow for me.. I know it's only a difference of 3/8" of a inch but I dont want the side wall height to short.. The only problem going with the 275/55/20 is the overall diameter is 31.91 and that pushing it close to the limit and it makes me nervous.. Or I could be safe and run the 285/55/20 and learn to live with the side wall height, it has a over all diameter of 31.22 which is a tad safer.. These SRT-10 wheels have a +25 offset which is a normal offset for a Dodge.. Cya Slick

Hey Slick,
I know you say the offset is 25, like stock, but if your newer rim is wider, like 9", you will be closer to the upper ball joint. Plus you want a bigger tire, putting you even closer.
Hopefully you can test fit these tires before you buy them. I really want this to work for you, because I would like to get the Zeon LTZ's also. Good Luck...

Well the way I figure is my stock wheel is a 18x8 +38 offset with a 265/60/18 tire which puts me 1" away from the upper ball joint, so you use that as a point of referance.. So what you have to do is to compensate for the difference in wheels size 20x9 is to have the offset close to 1" so you can stay away from the upper ball joint like the SRT-10 wheels are a offset of +25 which is a difference of 13mm which equals out to be around 1/2".. So that tells you that you will be a 1/2" away now from that upper ball joint..
Now to deal with the tire thats where I am scared, cooper Zeon 275/55/20 because it's really getting close to the max tire size of 31.91 fitting in this wheel well, in other words there is no room for error.. I know I can get a Cooper zeon 285/60/18 would work and I might go that way to be safe but I am still thinking about what I am going to do..
I even considered buying one SRT-10 wheel and one of them tires just to test fit and if it did not work I would sell it instead of having all 4 and having to sell them.. Dakotaff unless you wanted to go in half with me for one of them SRT 10 wheels and one cooper Zeon tires 275/55/20 then neighter one of us would be out all that much more then likley just around $200.00 what do you think? or we get two more people that we could find that would like to run this same tire/wheel package so we could have a total of 4 people and it would only cost us $50.00 per person because as you know trying to sell one wheel/tire could be a little tuff and if we dont sell it then where only out $50.00 let me know what you think..
