Default 20 inch Wheels

My buddy wants to sell me his 20 inch OEM chrome rims cheap. Has anyone put 20" on the V6 and what is the effect on the ride?

I put the 20's on mine, its the older style but I still like them. Be sure to get your computer re-calibrated to compenstate for the bigger wheel. There isn't a difference in ride that I noticed.

Mine rides fine, but they are a lot heavier than your factory 17s. More unsprung rolling weight... I'd like to get some Centerlines, but that's another dream...
Derrick, you're from Chicago? My parents live just south of Sprinfield.
7mmmag, nice paint. My truck is the same.

j/k...r u saying the 20's are too big for our trucks? no way dude. look at my pic...came directly off a hemi slt. our trucks are the same body/frame/drivetrain and everything for most part, so there's no reason they wouldn't fit. so, go get yourself some!

I personally like the Weld Drag Lites, but they are pricey, and I've got better things to waste money on...Like a boat
