The ugly hubcap on my factory alloy 4x4 wheel has me looking at other options, so far the only wheel I have found with the factory 6” backspace are
http://www.bozeforged.com/wheels.htm the ones I was looking at are these:
Size 20x8.5 with 6” backspace. Manufacture claims they are rated to 3000 lbs.
The only tire I can find for a 4x4 are Nitto Terra Grappler size 305/55R20 load range E that are rated for 3195 lbs. and look like these:
This tire fits my 33” tall requirements and I like the wider look.
Then there are
http://www.ricksontruck.com/wheels-dodge-SRW.html that are commercial 19.5 size
but the widest tire I can find for those is the Michelin 265/70R19.5 that puts me at 34.5” tall but a good 2” more narrow than the Nitto’s, they look like these:
With the 19.5 set up the rims are less money but the commercial tires are more than the Nitto’s, overall (tires and wheels) the 19.5’s are just a little less.
I have not confirmed the Rickson backspace just yet but the widest rim is 7.5” and uses an older nicer looking factory lug nut cover. The rickson set up bumps load capacity up another 2000 lbs each wheel!!! But I think the 20’s look better, I just don’t want to make my 4x4 look like a- well I mean a, er what I meant to say was a, oh you guys know what I mean.
I pull 6000 and don't load much over 500 in the bed.
Any thoughts???
