My old truck with 295/45/18 front and 305/45/18 rear

That looks good, I think I am gonna need something closer to 30” so I don’t run out of gear in 3rd.

Wow.. pretty heavy for a 20" wheel. A forged Centerline is closer to 25-30

You could always put some Welds on the truck and empty your bank account doing it for 20” sizes ;)

i may just find a lighter rim and do a 295/40/20 Nitto. Then use my 17’s for track use.

cast vs forged alum, im sure he knew forged wheels would be lighter than cast, but you pay for it..$$$$$$

The raceline renegade would be a great track only wheel for the simple reason that its too far offset to look the way you would want on a street vehicle. They are VERY light for an 18x10 though.

What about Bogart?

Sure, just saying, 40 lbs isn't light for a 20" wheel. As I mentioned you can score a decent set of Centerlines used for pretty cheap, especially for a forged wheel. Since they went out of business last year after all those decades and now have "come back" as just another crappy cast wheel company, all you're left with for the old forged designs are used ones.

Keep in mind I am AWD so the plan is to run all the same size.
