Upgraded to factory 20" Rims
I've been tire shopping for a long time, and I came to the realization that I would be happier going to the 20" rims over my factory 18" rims. It took a while but I managed to source a brand new set with the brand new OEM tires still on them for a good price.
Before and After  I am pretty happy with them, the truck rides slightly different now, feels more firm which I like. I paid a shop $75 to swap the TPMS from my 18's into these. Its a very subtle change in the looks department, but thats what I wanted, and I think it makes the truck look more modern. |

Re: Upgraded to factory 20" Rims
Yeah I like the OEM 20's a lot too, thats why I got a set also. I think the OEM 20's are only 8" wide

Re: Upgraded to factory 20" Rims
I may be wrong, but it looks like he at least has a front leveling kit

Re: Upgraded to factory 20" Rims
The pictures were taken about 3 hours apart. I have the PRG mini lift installed in both pics. Only difference is the stock 18's with stock tires to stock 20's with stock tires. I only plan on leaving the current tires until I can afford to change them to something bigger and better.

Re: Upgraded to factory 20" Rims
After looking at those two pics, I think the 18" wheels look more balanced. The 20" wheels kind of look like wagon wheels. Thanks for posting the pics side by side.

It will also look much improved with bigger tires on there, I just need some time to save the $ to do so. I have to put 4 new shocks on the truck, block heater, and a bunch of maintenance stuff for the winter, so new tires will have to wait. On a positive note, after selling my 18" rims, I am now into these new 20" rims and tires for half than what putting new tires on my 18" rims would have cost me. |

Re: Upgraded to factory 20" Rims
They look good man, I don't regret my decision to get OEM 20's either. Truck is too big for 18's IMO
