Well I had someone photoshop these rims onto my truck and lower it a little bit. I forgot to tell him that I was going to run the 255/65/16 tires on it so the tires are gonna be thicker. These rims are 16 inch silver. My truck is gonna be lowered with the hotchkis suspension package, just probably not that low. Just remember, thicker tires and slightly higher. I love the rims personally and will purchase them in the next couple of weeks. What do yall guys think???

I dont like them in the size on the pic, but a 16 or 17 would look really good. They kinda resemble the factory rims on a dakota/durango. I dont know which years, but they look like a smaller version to the Ram's 20s. Maybe you could check on Ebay and get them real cheap. I got factory chromes for my 92 for $50.

I would get 17" or 18" if they make them, that way you could run the lower series tire. It would look good but nothing too low series.
like 45 or 50 series
Mine's lowered 3/5" with 255/50-17
later

Yeah, kotadude makesa good point. I cant stand seeing a good looking truck with a nice set of rims with 35s. wtf. That just makes it go to waste. Unless you get a really fat tire ie 315/45-17 I would stay above 50 series. But the setup you described sound real good, I have 235/75-15 on 15X6 wheels. One thing I wish though, is that my wheels were wider. A thin wheel on a big tire kinda squeezes it.

Those are the tires and rims on my truck now. I plan on running the same tire, just switch out the rims with the rims in the first picture. I would save so much not having to buy new tires. My tires still have half the tread on them, so I cant just switch them out.
Are you saying thats not gonna look right?

If anyone is good at photoshop, could they put those rims with the tires on the truck now and lower it slightly. Then I could see what it would really be like.

What you have now looks real good. I like the color of the truck. I would go ahead and lower it first, since you are anyways. Then if you dont like the look w/the rims you have now, then go ahead with the swap. The truck looks damn good now, but would benefit from a 2/3 drop
