Bought my 2000 Dodge Durango Sport 4x4 with the 4.7 from a GovDeals with only 69k miles on odometer a couple weeks back. It was used as a staff car at the county juvenile facility...at the tune to just over 3k miles a year. Mechanically it is great, but the tires although having only 6k miles were dry rotting...they were over 6 years old. Since the Sport comes with the basic wheels I decided to go ahead a get some others. I had a set of M/T wheels on my last ZJ so when I found these American Racing wheels that esentially look the same but were a little cheaper I went for them. I went with the BFG's KO2's as I have had them on several vehicles and I really like them. I staying with the stock wheel size of 15" but went from the stock 29" tall tires to 31". So below is a before an after. The second week of December I will be doing a 2.5-3" lift on it including shocks. After that I will probably leave it alone until Spring when I can pull my Challenger back out.

Thanks...also rides so much better. Those tires only had 6k miles on them, but they were over 6 years old and slid all over in the rain. Now while waiting to the lift I am looking for a HO intake or at least a new version...this is going to be never ending.

Very nice. What's the width and offset?

You got the body lift on yet?

You got the body lift on yet?

I was doing a suspension lift and they sent me the wrong one...right box but had a kit for a Chevy in it....lol.

I have decided to wait on that for the time being. I need to replace my rockers before I really get going on her. Hard to believe how bad the rockers are with such low miles. The hatch is rust free, doors are fairly clean, but the rockers are shot.

15x8 with a 20mm offset. I have a set of 31x10.5 tires on them.
