Suggestions for new wheels on a Platinum
#17
I didn't think about that. Thats the look I do like though. I've been looking around and I havent seen many with the Dale Earnhardt Jr. Cannon Wheels in 20".
This is one of the only images I found with the wheels actually on a truck. Looks sick other than its on a Dodge.

I ordered those wheels a year or so ago for my Dakota and they were on B/o so I cancelled. Those wheels look great on your truck. I did get these Diamo wheels, now gone with truck. Personally, I would like to see FF on your truck. Overwide wheels beyond the wells looks out-of-place IMO. I think these are great looking wheels too.

Ommegang, I agree 100%. I'm about positive next week I will be Ordering the Fuel Hostage black with machine wheels in 20" but I har no idea on what offset or backspacing to go with.
Anyone who could throw some pointers, I'm all ears. I know that I would like no more than Another .5 to .75 inch sticking out from what's there. problem is, I need to research how all the numbers work out to achieve that!?

As for your backspacing/offset question..... if you're wanting them to stay inside the wheel wells I'd get the Hostages that have a +20mm offset (which is 5 3/4" backspacing). Those shouldn't stick out of the wheel wells but it will still have a bit more of an aggressive stance compared to your current setup. I know you've pretty much made your mind up on the Hostages but I never pass up on a chance to show my wheels! They are Diamo 17K in 20"x10" and there are very few people out there that have them. However I don't think you would want to use them since they will stick out of the wheel wells.

And is your truck up 6 inches?

Haha... the backspacing and offset measuring is always a tricky subject. Ive got it down to a science after so many vehicles and ordering wheels lol. The hostages will look good.
Oh, and to touch on an early comment, you wont find CHROME wheels with black accents unless 1) they are two/three piece wheels where one piece is chrome and the other is painted or 2) the black accents are separately attached pieces. Why... Paint wont make it through the chroming process and chrome will flake if you try to sand n paint accents after its been chromed.
My wheels might fit 22x12 (-44 offset) LOL, just kiddin'! Good luck n post some pics!

Oh, and my truck would be like a tank with your wheels. Haha. I wouldn't be able to turn! Thanks for the inputs and info...
