Default Rims and Tires Resale

So I just bought a lift kit for my 08 ram 1500. Now I need some new shoes to go along with it.. I'm thinking some 17'' rims with around 33'' or 34'' tires. Does anyone know about the resale value of the 4 chrome clad 20'' mopar rims with the 4 275/60/20 tires would be? Less that 4k miles on them, with one tire less than 500 miles.

I would say $800 plus for them. WIth a lift kit I would say 35's. Stock 20's are almost 33".

Okay, well the dude below me said $800+ and i'm just a teenager looking for the cheapest way to customize my truck. However i need to save up more to where i have enough to compensate for the remainder of the tires. I'm hoping by Christmas time i'll be able to get the new rims and tires.. maybe sooner, but i just spent all my money with the lift kit! haha

And to raiderjay, it's a 2wd and i'm putting on a 2.5'' spacer up front with new shocks and a 1.5'' block in the back. Do you think that would clear 35''s? I'd much rather have 35''s but i didn't know if they'd be cleared.

if you put 2.5 in the front it will be level. THen and 1.5 in the rear will make it not level again. You realize that right?

Yeah I know it won't be exactly level. But the difference will be only an inch as opposed to the 2.5 inches now. I'd actually prefer just slightly higher in the back, i think it looks like the front it higher when it's completely level. But thanks for the thoughts.

Sounds like 35's might fit but I brought my 4x4 down 2" in the rear so it sat level.

As others said, the stockers are basically 33". Once you get the truck up you should be able to see the clearance with the stockers to determine if 35s will work, I would guess yes it will.

As for selling your old set you may want to mention where you are from.

Yeah haha forgot about that part. I'm from the Houston area, but I can't sell them immediately. I gotta get the rest of the money for the rims and tires first. What do yall think of the nitto terra grappler A/T?
