I have an R/T on the way, and would love to stay with 20's but with a wider wheel with a more aggressive offset, maybe even staggered widths front to rear.

Do you think Mopar will offer new wheel styles in the future? I am not much into the aftermarket selection right now.

Don't know, but have you looked at the srt10 viper reps? I think they would look great on the new durangos and I believe they are offered in 22's and staggered.

haha actually yes I have considered those, and also the SRT8 reps. I definitely like more or an OEM look as opposed to true aftermarket.

DO IT!! Those will look amazing! What size tires are you planning, and are you going staggered?

Oh it'll be a little bit. Not really in a rush right now. i might even wait till I need tires on the 20's before I get them. That's definitely the wheel though.

You need to check and see what the load rating is, because the viper weighs more than half of the Durango and that would suck to have a cracked wheel from too much pressure from towing and such.

I believe the load rating of the tire is what matters. The wheels are all cast (or forged like the SRT's for weight savings). Its the tire that carries the load of the vehicle.
