Now I am up against a dilemma, I have a guy intown who wants my 20" wheels and has the 17" Stock wheels that came with his dodge. I can go ahead with the purchase of the AM Wheels and tires or come out ahead financially with the stock wheels and throw on some 33" Nitos.

nittos are def not 80K mile tires. I have them on my f-250 and got maybe 30K out of them. The tread depth on them to begin with is not very deep, and has very soft compound. If you want a truly long lastly awesome performing tire go with the Hankook dynopro atm Rf10's. they are an awesome tire reletivily new to the market. Nitto is completely over rater. Not bad tires, but the tread life isnt great and they do not offer a load range E or even D in your size.
