Yep when I saw the price I couldn't pass. I paid more than that for my 20s :rant:. The 22s came with lugnuts also. Great company to deal with and fast shipping too :beer:. Tires were about 35.00 more per tire for the 22s.

Dammit! It's all your fault. Now I have to buy a set of 22s. :biggthump

So, I just ordered the same rims that you have. Much cheaper than Discount Tire was for nicer looking wheels. I hope you don't care that we match. :beer:

Only because you are not in the same town as me it's ok :nana: :jester:. I am sure you will be happy with them. That's why I went with them again. I searched a long time to find the right rims and these were the ones I settled for. They are easy to clean and that was another selling point :beer:.

Ya, I guess I won't run into you in Utah any time soon. Nor am I forking over the coin to feed this thirsty beast all the way to Florida. :biggthump

I was going to go with the Liquidmetal Wingman rims, but they just look kinda cheap. It's hard to find black rims with a lot of open space. Now I'm out of money, so I'll have to buy 1 tire at a time until I get a full set.

Then I'll post some pics. :banana2:

Oh yeah forgot to tell ya one bad thing. Most alignment shops can only align with up to 20" wheels. The pieces that attach to each wheel for alignment purposes don't open any wider than that. Had to take mine off to get an alignment :drool:

I've always got my stockers. I think I'll keep them to run in the winter anyway. That way, when I slide into a curb or something on the ice and snow I won't jack up my 22s.

It's not that bad to switch them out. I still have my stockers also. I found out though I don't have enough adjustment left to properly align the front end with the lift. I ordered longerad upper a-arms for it this morning. Having a 2 wheel drive has it's disadvantages at times. Well when I tear it apart to put the new a-arms in I am doing some other suspension work. I will get some more pics up when I finish. It will probably be a few weeks before I am done. All the parts won't be here until next week. Then I have to find the time to get it all done allowing time for any problems I may run into :drool: .

I like to call those, temporary mud flaps. We just got 12" of snow and it's been 10deg or less the last 2 weeks. I can tell you're jealous.

Baby Hemi, what did you use for center caps? (Stickers)
Mine didn't come with anything. I was looking at some on Ebay but I don't know if they will fit on the curved surface.

Sorry for the long response time. My home computer is down. Call the company you ordered your rims from and tell them you did not receive the center caps. Both sets I ordered came with them. Sorry I like the cold weather but not that much :biggthump

Actually, I just had to look closer. They were hidden in the bottom of one of the boxes. They look much better with the caps.

Good deal now you just need some warmer weather and some tires :beer:. I am waiting on some suspension parts to come in for mine now. It's in pieces again :drool:

Ok, here they are. Pics of the trimming with the new tires.
I cut off more of the front than I needed to but I figured it would give me more room if I needed to do anything with the lights.

2000 Durango 5.9 do you have any side shots of your vehicle. Mine is 2wd also but I lifted mine when I went to the 305s. I just took the lift kit out. Now the fronts are really rubbing. I am going to try a staggered look and try the 265/40 on the front to eliminate rubbing.
