Now another 6=12" of snow tomorrow, 20's are collecting dust man!!!
sounds like fun never did learn how to ski tho, I would have liked to have learned how to snow board.. The problem is having two ruptured and herniated disks in my back I dont see me learning to snow board any time soon, I am going snowmobiling this weekend tho LOL..

I ran 20 miles with the truck and only heard it twice, this is one of them things you can fix when you get around to it..

I hated to pull the wheels and tires off because it look "BAD AZZ" or SICK as some of you younger guys say it but there is to much salt and snow on the roads yet for me to run these yet.. I have to say one thing I dont like is the lug nuts you get from this guy when you order them, not enough surface contact area for my liking the stock lugs work allot better but they need to be powder coated black or just left chrome what ever is your preference.. These tire wheel combo wont improve your gas mileage if thats what your looking for because these bad boys are big, there is some thing else I wanted to mention but forgot for the moment..

Remember these pictures dont due the truck justice, every thing is filthy and I mean every thing, wheels tires truck every thing no time to clean to much time spent today making two trips picking up the wheels and tires from discount tire and running them for awhile and then changing them back out to the stock wheels.. I remembered what I wanted to say these tires raised the truck another 1/4" at least, when I went to jump in I was like dam this is higher yet I did want to mention that I have 2" Trail master leveling kit and 2" blocks in the rear of the truck..

what kind of tire pressure are you all running with the cooper zeon 20's? Are the 285/50/20's max psi 50#? Thanks

Well Slick, I just ordered my tires from Discount Tire. They were back ordered on the 265/50/20 Nitto Terra Grappler's that I wanted to get. Up to a 60 day wait, eff that. Got the Cooper LTZ 285/50/20's en route. I guess it was just meant to be.

Slick, my tire people wouldn't put the srt's on my truck because of the spacing, they say I need a lift or spacers, so I guess to keep the street theme I am going to have to get some spacers.
Everyone else, there are a few websites with 2" spacers for around $400, but these are on ebay for way less, and they claim to be same grade aluminum... so unless anyone objects I'm going to order these right quick so I can put my new babies on.

LOL thats cool I think you will like them, your going to be able to tell that there bigger tires but man they look sweet on the truck thats for sure.. I towed my jet skis this weekend and the Dodge 6 cylinders always struggle a little on the long hauls couple hour trip.. When I had my other Dakota the 3.9 did the same thing but I always made it, I have to admit I am looking forward to the electric fan install to free up a few pony's..

Sorry I dont know much about spacers, did you try fitting the wheels and tires on your truck??? I was wondering how they fit being your at the stock height Dakota.. By the way I have logged 700 miles on my new tires and there doing good no problems, i have had more compliments on them..

Default srt 10 wheels

getting ready to put the same wheels on my truck. Currently i have a stock ride height but i was thinking with going with a 55 series and a 2 in levling kit in the front. Anything else you guys can think of that will hold me up from finishing this?

Let's get this straight, you're getting the SRT10's and want to go 285/55/20 with a 2" leveling kit, correct?

If that's right, I believe the tire will be too big. My 285/50/20's required a decent amount of trimming, so I think you'll have to do some serious trimming to (maybe) make it work.
