I need Shoes But Have No Clue what i'm doing!!!

[Jerzey]

First off this is a great place for information, I have had my Ridge since June
Blue RTL, Chrome Side Steps, Making my Stock wheels look even worse!!!

I don't know what offset means...
I'm lost with what to ask for as far as good tires and crappy tires...
And i'm not sure if I should purchase online or at a local Rim Shop due to the cost of shipping and handling. Plus what if the "offset" they ship is not the "offset" i want? Can this later be adjusted? I'm as green as it comes to rims.

What i do know is i'm going with 20's. All i care about is keeping my smooth Ridgeline ride, min. speedo errors and no rubbing in turns or vibrations/noise at highway speeds.


Rims I have in mind are....
Pinnicale Phantoms
Tezzen khan
not so sure about the Zyoxx

Good questions. Unfortunately, I don't have the answer as I'm not well-versed on wheels and tires myself. But, I will add to the questions...

I would like a black wheel with a chrome or machined lip that has the same bolt pattern and offset as the factory wheel AND will fit the factory tires. Is this even possible?

this link will provide you with a number of 20in options including specifications on ofset ect and tire sizes you can even view them on your truck including your color

Tire Rack is OG so no worries and there prices are awesome. I do recommend you find a local Big O tire or some other place that will refill your tires with pure nitrogen as this will help ride quality and dont forget to check the alignment.

Also keep in mind that bigger rims are often heavier and move the weight out from the hub increasing braking distances reducing accleration and decreasing ride quality. Less than 80 pounds with wheel and tire each should be your target as this is the factory weight for the heaviest steel stock wheel and tire combo

In the Tires and Wheels section, check out my link entitled 'new wheels: black chrome'
These are for 17" wheels, are black (but not painted), and I am getting installed this week. I will post pics.
