Time for new wheels and tires. My original BFG KO2's lasted 50K and were getting way low on tread. I wanted to upsize from 275/60R20 to 35x12.50R20, but I needed new wheels since I only had the 8" wheels.

I found the wheels I wanted, finally, and they came in last week. Tires came in today. I got 'em mounted and I'm pretty pleased. I'm sure there are plenty of you that can understand what a pain in the **** it is to search for wheels that you like and that will fit the truck.

These are AEV Delta wheels in 20x9 with a +6mm offset. They are also made specifically for the Ram 1500's so the hub size is exact. No spacers, no hub rings. The truck itself is leveled at 2.8 on Bils and there is no rubbing.

I think the combo turned out great. The wheels are mat black in the center and have an anthracite ring. The ring color is a fairly close match to the granite crystal. I wanted some contrast between the wheel and the tires. All black kinda gets lost.

Nice looking wheels. I placed an order for AEV Mesa wheels (onyx with machined spokes) a week ago and trying to figure out what tires to go with in the meantime.

Nice job ... They look great ... Picking new rims may be the hardest choice I made on my truck ... And there is no question, you will find wheels you like better 6 months after you install your first choice ... Lol ...

Picking wheels is tough and just as bad as trying to decide on what exhaust to install.

The wheels look good on your truck.
