Default 20" to 17"

Well, a friend of minehas an'07 Hemi QC 4X4, and he put some custom mag wheels on his truck and took the polished aluminum 17" wheels and tires off. He sold them to me for next to nothing and helped me put them on my Daytona. I need to get some pictures on here of it before and after, but this is what the Daytona needed. I was unsure if it would look right with the Daytona package, but it looks good. The only problem I have seen is where he had put new tires on them, Buckshot Maxxis Mudder, and it looks good, but this is a 2WD Daytona. I do like the aggressive look and now wish I had went ahead and just bought a 4X4 Ram. That Daytona just looked to tempting at the time. Oh, the truck will now spin tires, but I will not be doing that anymore because it took almost 3 hours to scrape and wipe the rubber off just the painted surfaces of the truck that were coated.lol

No, but I rarely tried to either. I didn't have to try with these, I was just sitting at the stop sign and floored it, no brake stand, and it broke both tires loose and spun through 2 gears and into the 3rd before I let off. It was about as fun as when I had my Trans Am, but the Ram made a bigger mess in the end. It really was nasty.

Default RE: 20" to 17"

And I was gonna get 4.56 because of the lack of performance with the 20" wheels... May not be a good idea after all. But, then again if it would do it, there is nothing like moving along at about 10-15 mph and stomping on it and break sideways, so if 4.56 gears would make it do that......I might consider it.
