Default What would you guys get?



I am going to get a new Ram Hemi but have a little problem. I don't know if I should get the 20 inch rims or the 17 inch rims. I know the 20 inch handle better but only Goodyear makes the tire and I have not heard good reviews. What would you guys do?</P>


Thanks for the info.</P>

I prefer the 20's.. better, cooler look... not as nice ride, but it's a TRUCK. LOL! That's my opinion.

If you are doing off roading.. I'd say no... get the 17's... because the 20's are too awesome to scratch.

well, if you plan on doing any off roading I would go with the 17s

Sure the 20s look cool, but the 17s are much more practical. get the 17s and throw on a set of 33s

you will get better ride hight...and a more aggressive look.

Pluss the cost of the tires are alot different too LOL
besides...the cost of the tires for

I would go for the 17's as how they are mor affordable to replace or upgrade...plus the 20's rims are pretty ugly i think...that is my personal and NOT professional opinion! <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">

I like the 20's but I thinkthey are more forstreet truck looks. For a 4x4I would go with large tires on 17's. IMHO <IMG src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0">. <edited><editID>BlueHemi</editID><editDate>37939.8317476852</editDate></edited>

I agree with most, the 20s are for street and the 17s are a better ride. I've seen a 6" lift on a 02 ram with 18s it looked tight.

I have a great idea, get the 20's and I will trade you my 17's for them!!I might not even charge you anything. <IMG src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0"><IMG src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0"><IMG src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0"><IMG src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0">

I've got the 17's on mine (not the off road ones) and I think they are the better looking ones. The 20's are actually a hubcap pressed onto the rim so thats a big deter from those...besides they seem to not fit the body lines of the truck.
