I have them on my truck (04 QC Hemi silver), give me a day or so to get some pics up. Got a great deal from Discount tire with 285/50/20 General grabbers UHP's for $1300 brand new. I agreed to help install dude's engine in his chevelle.

Thanks for getting me the pics in advance silvernightmare . The 22"s are sharp. I have both here in boxes and they both look great. The stock 20's on my 06 Look good just with some rims like the SRT-10s the 275-60-20's sidewall being a bit over an inch higher in the sidewall than a 305-45-22 the inch is sidewall difference can give a wheel like that a totally different look.

The 22's are the same looking wheel as the 20". If you mounted a 20" SRT-10 with a tire size such as say a 285-50 20 the sidewall would be approx 5.4 inches high Now if you mounted a 22" SRT-10 with say a 305-45-22 the sidewall would be approx. 5.6 inches high. If you had them on a stock ram the only thing you may notice is that the 20" may look a but lost in the back of the truck since the 20" tire is only a tad bit over 31" tall and the 22 would be 32.8 which is almost exact to the 33"s that the stock tire height is now.
But as far as the look goes unless you have a tape measure if your sidewall height is comparable on the 20" to the 22" they are both going to have the same type of a look. Now if you mounted the 20's with the stock 275-60-20 tire your sidewall is 6.5 inches that could make the SRT-10 wheel look a bit different in ones eye.

My dilemma is I wanted to see how the 20's looked on a stock truck to see if using a smaller tire doesn't look too small since I will be mounting a 305-50-20 tire on the wheels.

As far as 24's go, they are great if you want to spend more money and you don't have a 4 wheel drive truck. We sell lots of trucks and we never put anything larger than a 22 on a truck. 20 inch is the most popular size that we use on most of our trucks. Now besides the cost factor of a quality 24" wheel there is a point when you must look at the performance factors of the stock vehicle and what is going to sustain wear and tear from the larger wheel on the stock components.

The reason I am leaning to the 20's is not a cost factor at all, since I have both wheels here. My vehicle tows my boat and a car trailer, so the 20' is a bit more ideal for those situations. I have put the 22's both chrome replicas and the polished on a few of the rams they we have had here for sale. Every ram that we have had sold FAST once I changed the wheels to the chrome SRT-10's. In those cases though I used the 22" because the stock ram has 20's already and most people have the mindset that bigger is better So I have not mounted the 20's to see what the look will be on the stock truck with a stock tire height. That is the reason for the start of this thread.

I am ordering wheels for some other vehicles. If you want a set let me know. I'll just order a few more sets of 20's.

Rob

Look what you started.... see a bit of fooling around asking for me to sell the 20's and all of a sudden we see people have interest in that 20" size.
