what would be the diference between a 20x9 and a 20x8.5

what does the second figure stand for?

im looking for wheels for my laramie wich ill get this week

thanks a lot

 

The second number is the wheel width. A 20x9 is made for 20" diameter tires and the 9" width will determine the appropriate tire cross section. You can put wider tires on a 9" wheel than you can on the 8.5".

 

Make sure you get the right offset and backspacing too.

 

hey Mike, you find a set of rims for your truck yet? i'm still looking around too.

 

Not yet. Every time I see one I really like it's not available for a Dodge truck. And the ones I see that will fit are not exactly what I want...frustrating.

 

thanks for the info

 

Its cuz the factory rims look nice too bad that were not real metal

 

i'm kinda in the same boat. not sure what i will like on my truck. thinking about just getting tires and keeping the stock rims just to see how it looks. they are plastic so i figure i will tear them up before long anyway. get around to replacing them then.

 

I think I found one! I really like the looks of the factory wheel and couldn't find anything I liked better that fit the truck...until yesterday! This is apparently a new Dodge machined alloy wheel that is not cataloged yet. I ordered thes from the distributor. I had been looking for a clean, uncluttered wheel that would match the "low bling" simplicity of my truck. I think these will do...for now
