What next?
Whats next for my '06 Hemi Ram quad cab?
So far ive got stainless tube sidesteps,a K&N air intake, super chips programmer, and flowmaster dual exhaust with 24X4 chrome tips.
currently imworking on getting a deck and descent speakers.
Next im thinking some liquid metal rims that i found on a local companies website, the website I went to listed some 20x8.5-5s compatible with the stock wheels althoughI have a question, I was under the impression the stock wheels were 20X9's with a 5x5 bolt pattern. Is the website correct or if I pick these wheels will they notfit the brand new tires I have on my stock alloys.
Ive also got on order forrear black led tail lights and center light, some chrome doorhandles for the interior and exterior from jegs.
Ive already got in the works to change my front and rear bumbersandfront grille to match the exterior bodycolor. but thats going to be a time consuming and expensive task so I was going to get everything out of the way first.
Other then custom paints and what Ive listed whats next to say increasepreformance or looks. Im not going to lower it anyI can hold an 90 degree turn at 80 mph while at the same timeI can go through a ditch, anyone have any suggestions that I havent thought of yet?

RE: What next?
Bolt pattern is 5x5.5.
A nice, inexpensive mod that will free up an easy 18-20 RWHP would be an e-fan, like my Flex-a-Light 180 Extreme. Very easy install, quiet & frees up a good bit of HP and more importantly, moves 3300 cpm of air even when you are sitting still...

RE: What next?
the website is wrong, hammer is right, 5x5.5. and try to avoid rims that are less than 9 inch wide, they limit your options on tires a little bit.
though i do recommend the mod, 18-20 rwhp is a pretty ambitious don't you think, hammer? i've heard as low as 8. i figure 12-15 is about right (see how scientific my method is to determine that?).
get the fan from moe's performance. it's the cheapest you'll find, and plenty of people here have had good experiences with moe's. and get the 180 degree thermostat while you are at it, keep everything cooler all the time.
after that, pacesetter long tubes

it says $307 but it goes down to $250 when you add to cart. rmr to get the Tstat too. and they ship free.
9" wide 17-18" tall rims are good up to 12" wide tires, 12.5 if you go with a little taller tire than stock. any more than that i'd be a little worried about wear, though some claim they have no trouble with it. 9" is perfect for stock tires.
+1 on what brother rob said. let's see her.
