I thought about that as well, but i had my 03 with stock 20s and 35s with no problems and aftermarket 20x9 with 35s and no problems. That was with a 6in lift and stock as well and never had a problem. The Discount Tire guy was saying that the geometry might be off or something because they stick out an extra inch further than the stock rims and that they are wider, but i really dont think so. Im pretty sure its the rims. The last thing to try is road balance the tires and if that doesnt help bye bye rims

 

Out of curiosity, how much do those rims weigh? They look heavy as hell with all that fake beadlock stuff on them.


One other option might be dynabeads. I use them in heavy offroad tire and rims and they work pretty well. The ones in this picture actually balanced with 8oz of beads inside the tire. The dynabeads work better with tires that have a lot of sidewall though, 35's on 20's are pretty low profile.




These are 35's on 15's and the tire/rim combo weighs about 120lbs each

 

Im not exactly sure but i think the shop said my stock rims and tires are 75-80 pounds and the new ones are 120-140 or something like that.

 

I just called the tire shop and they said they called Fuel yesterday and apparently have been having complaints and issues about the vibration and ride quality of these rims on the 1500 Rams.

 

Since the vibration i have is in the rear and my rear coils are so soft im thinking about picking up a airbag kit that installs in the coils and see if that helps. I have been wanting some anyway to pull my boat and trailer. I called 4 wheel parts and its in stock for 90$. Oh and apparently they dont have a Road force balance machine at my 4 wheel parts store, he even said they just bought a new machine a month ago and they didnt get that one.

 

I wonder if those beads would work with tire pressure sensors

 

1) Air bags are not going to stop your wheels from vibrating
2) 120-140lbs - jeebus that is just ridiculous for aluminum rims and 35's on a street vehicle. I'd expect to be replacing tierod ends and balljoint at an accelerated rate.
3) They say the beads work fine with TPMS, however you have to break the bead to install them since you can't just remove the valvestem core and dump them in

 

When I had a '94 Wrangler they needed to bead my 35" Baja claws, but like oldjeep I had 15" wheels. Never heard of them beading a low profile setup.

I'm still of the opinion it's the wheels...

 

The only reason i was thinking about the coil spring air bags was because it says that it helps with body roll and sway from the rear coils, and my boat and trailer squat my truck a insane amount. Im gonna install these anyway, but i will also go back to discount and have them reorder me another set!

 

Out of curiosity on the squat.


What kind of tow weight?
Is the trailer sitting level when hitched?
Did you "level" the truck?


Only reason I ask is that my 5500lb Malibu makes my truck just about level. I've got a 2wd, so the back sits a little higher than a 4wd - but you have to put a hell of a load on these trucks to "squat them an insane amount" unless you already screwed up the factory suspension in some way or are really loaded heavy
