i have the 20" flower petals, its almost time for some new tires. I currently have the cooper ltz's in the stock tire size. (awsome tire)

Should i ?

A. just buy new tires for the 20's
b. buy some 17's and tires the same hight and with?
c. i know 17 is the smallest rim that will fit on a 2004, but what width rim do i need, i think the petals are almost ?10?

you can probably find the new style (06-08) on craigs for cheap. people that take them off cause they upgraded will just take what they can get for them. you can probably find some with good tires on them. there an awesome wheel too. just a thought.

If you are happy with what you have now, I would just keep the rims and get some new ltz's :)

As for the flower petals, I think they may be 20x9. I know the 06-08 20's are that size.

Never liked the flower petals but they do look good on other rides. If its working for you then why stop on a good thing. Get some new tires and rock on :)

I must say that Rams can look petty darn good on 17's.

Depends on how much meat of the tire you like. With 20s will be smaller, but going to a 17 will show more tire

damn, its almost 50/50 on the keep vs loose. i love the meaty tire look, but the 20's do look good. the chrome coating on mine are starting to peel/chip off in spots, ^^ as stated above, the factory 17's ar pletiful and dirt cheap on the rite area?


guess it will depend on the deal i can find Thanks wendy 20x 9 sounds rite
