Does anyone know where I can find the 20" R/T rims? Right now I have the 17's, but I gotta go bigger. Thanks.

The rims sold on Ebay are from AAArims. Awesome quality , but the tire package they offer is a 275-45-20 and that is too large a tire for a lowered Dak like myself. Im going with the 17 inch RT chromies with low profile 255-50-17 tires.

I have the 17" R/T rims with 245/45/R17 right now....I think I decided to keep those and lay it out on bags first, then figure out if I want new rims.

Luke,
Are you lowered now?
I need a picture or two of a Dak with those size tires on. I didnt want to put the 255/55/17s on because it wouldnt drop me any.I was not sure if it would look stupid or not with the 245/45/17s ?
Thats a 2" drop in tire diameter from factory and didnt know if its too much or not.
Let me know

Mike

I didn't mention that I do have the 255/55/R17's on the back. I also have a 3/4 drop. There is a little issue of them not filling the fender wells, but airbags or a 4/6 drop, and it'd look sick. The 245/45/R17's also really help the turning radius alot.

I have 245/45/17 on my Dakota with bags. This pic is with the front all the way down (crossmember about 1" off the ground which is as far as it can go with the tires touching the tops of the inner fenders) and the back 3" lower then stock (the frame is about 7" off the ground in the back.)



I like the tires alot, but if your going to bag I would (and plan on) get 275/40/17 in the back and narrow the rearend.

P.S. Sorry about the fuzzy picture, I was having trouble with my camera.
