Default 22" Wheels w/ 305/45/22 installed!

Finally scraped up enough pennies to do the wheels and tires on the Ram... After putting the 2/4" McGaughy's on it last month, I ended up going with a set of 22x9.5 DEJ 708 (Ribelle) paired up with 305/45/22 Nitto 420's. I must say that I'm pleased with the outcome. It was a PITA finding wheels that didn't stick out or look too "gangsta".... But these worked out nicely.

I haven't noticed any rubbing during normal driving, though I haven't really put it through the motions yet. With the lowering kit and the tires, the handling is noticably improved and body roll is almost non-existant. The ride has definitely suffered, but is still reasonable.

Looks good! Personally I'd yank the running boards... you could get some AMP Powerboards if you really need them to get in the cab.

Very Nice! I agree about the running boards. Lose 'em. I think it'll look much cleaner.

running boards are unnecessary at that height! if you or anyone else reading this wants to buy power boards, let me know! i'd love to get a group buy going as theres no way I can afford (more like no way in hell i wanna spend) $1,000 on some running boards, even though they are amazing

Looks awesome. What did the TPMS run you and where did you pick them up? I'll have to add some to my wheels once I move them over to the '11....
