Need to retire my stock tires, I am tired of them. Recommendations???

[DavidRam]

No, I didn't mean it to sound bad. I have followed all of your builds and you aren't one to settle. So I was trying to help you pick the perfect setup for you

I appreciate it bro!

How about some sport wheels? There's a rcsb on here with sport wheels and 305/50s and it looks awesome

That could be mine, 10' RCSB 4x4 is dropped (2"/4")
305/50R20 Grabber AT2's (Canada eh!) tires are 50lbs ea
14' Sport Wheels are only 33lbs ea , pretty light for a 20" x 9"





The General Grabbers have been Great for the Winter up here,
But I'm thinking of getting another set of 14' Sport Wheels, powder coating them Gloss Black.
...and a set of 305/50R20 Nitto 420s for my Summer set.

Both 305/50R20 tires measure in at 12.4" wide by 32" tall

Or these, but I'd have the machined part color matched to my truck...

 

[BlackRamHemi]

Be careful when shopping aftermarket wheels,
the offset has to be just right on a dropped truck,
and some of them weigh more than stock 20's unless you spend $$$$

There's a local guy with an R/T who had 24" KMC slides at the track,
I lol'd hard.....they weigh in at almost 50lbs ea. (without tires)

 

[DavidRam]

First wheel is ADV.1, probably $7,000 for 4, plus tires.

The second wheel is Dub Skillz around $1,100 plus tires.

^^^ Exactly! These are the reasons why I am very hesitant to get new wheels. First, finding the bolt pattern is hard enough, but then spending money to add weight is even worse...

 

[DavidRam]

Bolt pattern is good, need to find figure out weight and offset...

 

[BlackRamHemi]

Dont forget center bore has to be 77.8mm (or was that 78.7??)

if the bore is too large the weight sits on the lugs instead of the hub,
and chances of getting them mounted perfectly centered goes down.

perfect offset (IMHO) is close to stock +19mm for a 9" wheel and a 12" wide tire

Gotchya, thanks.

I would probably be crazy enough to order one wheel and tire and make sure it fits perfect before I get the whole set...

I like the SKILLZ wheels and man you are killing me with the style you are going with your truck.

I like the Skillz more than anything I have seen so far... Just wish I could see them in person.

 

[Etroze86]

Right and there was a Dub set of wheels that I liked but I think they only came in a 24" and im not going to do that up here in ND lol.

 

[DavidRam]

I am not at all that BIG wheel kinda guy... 22" would be my max.

 

[Etroze86]

Yeah same here 22" max and it has to be a really clean wheel for me to want to get rid of the stock ones.

Exactly bro! That is my struggle. I really like the stock wheels, alot. Plus they are very light and nice quality wheels, that fit perfectly.

My goal with this truck is to keep it looking stock, most aftermarket wheels make the truck look... uhh, AFTERMARKET, lol.


(the second pic are the Dub Shot Callas, just thought they looked really good on that truck)

 

[Etroze86]

Man the skillz could almost be an SRT wheel and yeah I think it was the Shot calla's that I was looking at but have them matched to the color of my truck.

You are right they could be... I am gonna try and find more info the on the weight.

Do you know if the hub is the right size?? The Skillz are 78.1mm.

Edit: 22" Dub Skillz are 31lbs.

 

[Etroze86]

No clue at all on that one.

 

[DavidRam]

Anyone know where to find the hub/center bore size for our trucks??

 

[powderbrad]

Lots of nice 24" wheel out there. I wouldn't do it though. But theres better styling in 24 than 22's.

22" wheels don't have the right center bore or something for a particular style I like, as theres not enough meat on the rim to machine it correctly. I found lots of 24"s I liked that weren't available in 22's due to hub machining.

Then again, I just went the R route, as they fit perfectly. Though, Id like a fatter rear tire for a staggered look. But, not happening now.
