I've heard of tirerack.com, are there any other sites any of you have bought from?

lookin' for 20" wheels/tires for an '02 Yukon Denali and 18" wheels/tires for a '99 Ram 1500 4x4.

It's obvious you have no class nor an ounce of sense of style if you think 20" rims are "in." It's either Jordans or bigger these days..

And you are gonna put 18 inchers on a 1500 Ram? Do you have any idea how rough the ride when unloaded is going to become? You are gonna go from 5" of sidewall to 3. A huge portion of the dampning is done by the sidewall in a Ram when unloaded. On top of this, you are going to be adding 15-20 lbs of sunsprung weight. Not only does this make the ride even worse, it is going to slow down the acceleration by a noticable degree, expecialy if you only have 3.73:1 gears.

The only reason you should be switching rim size in a Ram is because you got a big brake kit and the stockers will not fit anymore. If you did go this way, then I hope you got new springs & shocks at the same time, or you are going to spend 2k on rims that you will not use, because the ride is too crappy. Good luck putting a 18" tire on a 16" rim.

If you don't give a rat's ass about handling or acceleration, and only want to look bling bling, then be my guest. 4WheelWholesalers has a good selection of 18's in the Ram's bolt pattern.

By the way, if you are going wider with the tires, a '99 1500 will clear 12.50"s with a non-stock backspacing. Stock & 12.50 will get you some tire rub on the bumper @ full stuff @ lock.

Thx for the info. I had no idea. Guess I'll look for a replacement set of 16s. 😀

I just don't understand why they advertise on the "alternative" station though. Seems like it would be reaching the wrong demographic.

Heh, I hear ads for them on the ghetto inland station 99.1. "Where you can rent, to own!!"

Of course this same station advertises stuff like "advanced surgical institute, get your breast job or tummy tuck for $3999! Or get the combo for $5999!! We even finance!!!" Almost like rolling up to KFC and getting breasts and thighs or something.

God damn what a trashy ass radio station.
