@Gizmo, yeah, as long as you get hub-centric spacers you'll be safe. They aren't cheap though. They are at minimum $200 for a set of 4. I haven't seen any in 5x127 yet though!

Thanks @Rangored! I'll try!

DJ,

Nice looking ride! Those wheels really bring it out. I'm looking to get the same 2Crave #4 style, but in all chrome. I'm also thinking about the Strada Wheel Diablo, which also comes in chrome and deep dish. As you can see I am new to the forum, and all I intend on doing is getting some wheels and dual exhaust. My Durango is a base model 2012 beige color SXT that I got for a really good price a month ago.

I love the tight turn radius of the Durango...I was wondering if you have any rubbing of the tires in the fenderwell when turning the wheel all the way over left or right? Also, how much did your ride quality change when going to the 22in wheel? One last thing...you mentioned that you purchased 4 OEM TPS sensors on eBay. Can you link me to the offer?

Again, great job on your choice of wheel and offset.

Nope, absolutely no rubbing at all. The tire is the same width as stock and the overall rolling diameter is the same as stock. The only thing that really changed is going from an 8" wide wheel to a 9.5". Rubbing happens from having significantly oversizing the overall diameter and width of the wheel+tire combo and in some cases improper offsets can cause rubbing!

As for the TPMS sensors, this is the seller I got them from: http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Chrysler...ht_3243wt_1220

Like I said, most wheels in 5x127 were back ordered. What makes it really hard to find wheels is that a lot of places (especially eBay) lists the wheels as if they are in stock when they aren't. So before you just order anything, MAKE SURE you email or call the place first to see if the wheels are available in 5x127 and at an offset +30 or higher in the size you want! The place I got my wheels from was great. You may have to resort to buying blanks like I did and having them drilled if you want them right away!

Cool. Any noticeable difference in ride quality going to the lower profile tire? I don't know that I'll find a local good deal on tires, but I'm currently looking at some Nitto 420s 275/40's that should work.
