The wheels remind me of classic Cragar wheels!

 

Thats exactly what my first thought was, just minus the horrid chrome. Love the look of the wheels and truck!!

 

Me too.

 

Need to make a tag n your hitch plug to say "remove to pull a" sacrilege having that dirty J word on your Honda. Lol

 

My 2022 Gladiator Mojave was totaled in a rear end accident. It is a bit of a tribute to it. I loved that truck.

 

I'll allow it then. Lol!

 

Looks really great! No judgement at all on going big on the wheels / thinner on the tires - whatever works for you. Good to know this combo does not rub. Thanks for sharing.

 

Loved the chrome Cragar's on the mono look of the 70's cars. Of course they were best on certain ones and not all of them!

 

This is just the combo I would like to try once my truck is lowered a bit. Looks great to me!

 

I will be lowering it once I find a competent shop. Or, I may just do it on my own.

 

Totally on board with your choice. Having put the Goodwin suspension system on mine (lower, stiffer springs and rear anti-roll bar) the stock OEM tires are now the weak link on my local curvy mountain roads. Mine will be getting some stickier rubber this Spring also. My miles are spread between 4 vehicles so even a 20,000 mile tire would last me 5 years - no reason to have a 60-70,000 mile tire that'll dry rot before I even get close to using it up. Go have fun!!

 

The RL needs 20's and a drop IMO. I think this combo is just about perfect.

 

Depends on the person if anything its already too low and stock should have at least 8.6" clearance and the off road version a extra 1" at least IMO to 9.5 at least.. even the little maverick has more ground clearance .
Guess thats just a opinion though im just not a fan of the lowered look.

 

Wheels look nice.....these trucks make great sport trucks.....debadged.....clean...good job!

 

True...its an easy truck to get the street look. OTOH I see these get leveled with a front lift and they look pretty good up in the air too.

 

Gotta grin at the comments about the 'horrible chrome' finish on 60-70s era Cragar SS mags- which were one of THE mag wheels of the era, and damn fine looking on my '69 Cutlass 442...... The OPs tires are 1/8" larger diameter radially, yes wider - but I'd have been shocked if they rubbed. Good choice ! I only wanna go with 255s on the stock 18" wheels, and would even like to go taller 65 series tires for down the line ride and load carrying capacity ( in an XL tire) but that comes in at 31.05" diameter versus the 29.6" stockers (which are worn OUT!) I doubt there would be any fitment issues with a .73" radial increase, yes some speedo error, of course.

 

What is the brand and model of the rim? Please Take some pics when u lower this.

thanks

Post #6 he said Cragar 617B

 

I guess I somehow missed that. Thanks

 

Sorry for the old thread revival, but how has this setup been treating you? Still no rubbing? Looks fantastic in pics!

I’m looking at a set of wheels that would be about 9mm further outside than yours (9.5 +23), but I’m not sure if that would be too far out or not. I’d likely run a 265 tire which I’d imagine would keep the overall wheel/tire fairly close to where yours is now.

 

Good job

After much searching I found the wheels and tires that I want. I wanted less sidewall because I like more road feedback and I think the OEM setup makes the truck feel like it is sort of floating. I only drive the RL to the store, doctors appointments, etc. It is only driven on the road. I frequently have to drive up and down a curvy mountain road.

The wheels are 20” x 10” with an offset of 39 and weigh 28 lbs. each.
The tires are Falken Azenis FK510 SUV (275/45/R20). Some of you might say the tires are overkill for a truck with such little power and the tread wear rating is too low (300).

For those that are still reading with an open mind, these tires are excellent. They have minimal road noise and the ride gives the truck a more competent feel at any speed. It turns with much more responsiveness and actually improves braking feel.

For those wondering about fitment, there is absolutely no rubbing at all. The truck sits at stock height (for now).

I grew up in the sixties and seventies and my wheel choice is a little nostalgic. The finish is matte black and matches the plastic cladding very well. I think the OEM gloss black wheels have a ‘cheap’ look to them.

Anyway, enjoy the photos.

70s guy here, I'd like to stick a set of old school American Racing Torque Thrust wheels, but if I do wheels it will likely have to be the Torque Thrust 2 with a bit more spindly spoke, because the old school version don't come in larger diameters. I like the bare alloy rim and the grey primer-look spokes.

 

Here is another old guy who likes your choices, "24" RTL Sonic Gray Pearl

 

Being a old schooler Mopar purist I love these Road wheels. Also have a soft spot for Keystone Klassics.
