Ram Off Road

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?


Thanks for the info.

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!

I like the 20's but I think they are more for street truck looks. For a 4x4 I would go with large tires on 17's. IMHO . BlueHemi37939.8317476852

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.

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.

17's definately! Ive heard alot of complaints about the 20's being "not smooth" and stuff... 20's may look better, but ride feel....go with 17's

I plan on getting the 17”s myself. I like the sport look of the 20” wheels, but I know my driving habits & style. I’ve always taken functional over form every time. And I would rather rock a stouter revere with 17” wheels and 33” M/T’s People are already talking about how “Played” the Ram oem 20”s are getting anyway. I think it’s because they look like an aftermarket wheel, but you see it everyday on every Ram that goes by. Personally If weren’t gonna get the 4x4 Ram and ended up getting a 2wd Q/C I would order a set of oem  SRT-10 22”s get the oem hood w/ scoop and the ’03 sport appearance kit with running boards and the front lip, then be done with it.

Go for the 20"s.  Tires arent that much more expensive and there are lots of options other than goodyear available.  Yes, the ride isnt as smooth as 17" but the look is worth it.  I can sell 20" truck tires cheaper than some 17" performance tires.  On the other hand there are a lot more choices of aggressive tires in 17".  With a 20" the only thing close to an aggressive tire is the nitto grappler a/t and its not that cheap (about 400 bucks each).

yeah real cheaper than 17" tires, J/K, Truckxpressions.


Ryan go with the 17s or 18s at the max, more and better tire selection than 20s!
