Sorry I didnt see this.

Any one has any ideas for wheels and tires for around $2000-$2200 I would much appreciate any input.

I got my wheels off ebay I cant remember from who but he's a dealer they were like $800. shipped and tires are from a local dealer everything was less then $1600. including lugs.

That sounds great, every penny saved puts me one step towards another performance upgrade. Any idea what they weigh? I would love something that weighed close to stock or less.

They weigh in at 80lbs my stock 16'' aluminum wheels with 255/70 generals weigh in at 52 lbs. If you want a lite wheel like a centerline you will pay more then I did.

The only problem with centerline is the width of the wheels on the website. Everything seems to be 8.0 or 8.5 in the 20's. I would like a 9.0 or a 9.5 in width at least if I can't run a 10.0 all the way around. But I agree I would like to stay as light as possible. I just wish I could afford HRE's. LOL

If light, wide, and affordable are your criteria for a 20" wheel, pick two, becuase you can't get all three. I don't want to sound like a jerk, but it's the truth.

If you can find one, a cheap 20x10 wheel is likely to be heavy chrome plated cast alumium and have the wrong BS so that it doesn't stick out, a light 20" wheel (centerline) is too narrow for a 295, and set of light 20x10 wheels (intro, budnick, bonspeed) cost more than your total budget for wheels and tires.

My 20x8 Centerlines with 265/50 Toyos weigh 63 lbs each, which is 4 lbs lighter than stock chrome steel wheels with 245/75 tires.

Just my own opinion, but I wouldn't run a 295 in the front, just too wide. It would probably stick out of the fender.

Here is a pic down the side of the truck so you can see how far out the 20x10 will stick out.

Doesn't sound like a jerk at all. The truth is always helpful.

Breeze, after seeing those pics I think that is the way I will go.

Now I just need to decide which wheels and tires.

How do you like the toyos?
