Seems sparse here too compared to a few years ago. I guess many have moved on. Will try to put some pix up ASAP and maybe start a "build" thread if you can call it that. Trick is to get it in the driveway long enough to take some pix.

Hammer, seller asked I what size wheels I was going with, 20x14? Told him 20x10 and he said 20x12 should fit no problem, especially with offset. What do you think? It's definitely sitting higher than my hemi but I don't think height is the question.

Yeah, seems like forums in general were a fad. There's a diesel truck site was as busy as this one four or five years ago that's about as dead now. I belong to a hunting/fishing forum that got a couple hundred posts a day back in 2009, goes some days now without a single post.

As for the wheels, probably could fit a 20x12 but why? That would mean you'd want to use a 13.5" wide tire minimum.

I had plans to level mine and slap some 35x12.5s on it but I'm having second thoughts. Since I sold the truck and traded the car for this diesel, I'm kinda liking the 21.5 MPGs overall and 24.5 MPG's highways. I'm at least gonna wait until the stock 33s wear out before contemplating change...

Thanks. I checked with 2 online wheel and tire dealers and both warned me about going 20x12 without extra lift. So, I've ordered 20x10's with -24 offset and 35x12.50 m/t's on them. It's getting about 23 on the highway with no programmer and running 35" MT's already.


I'm about to post my first thread with a pic in the Diesel forum.
