Hartman's 20's arrive!

[Hartman]

My 20's arrived just a few minutes ago! They are Limited 208s. I thought they were 20x9 when I ordered them, but they ended up being 20x10.

That is a wide ass wheel. When I test fitted them, I had about 3/4" between the wheel lip and the upper control arm. I'm also going to have to make some adjustable bumpstops with bolts too, because the rims will rub the sway bar. All problems that I can fix, I think.

Thankfully, the tires I want have a rim width range of 9"-11". I lucked out there. I don't know if I'll be able to get the rims on the truck before winter, I still have to order the tires. I will do that in a few weeks to a month.

Here are the pics! Enjoy!

I'm pretty stoked to finally have rims again. It's gonna suck even more now that I have them sitting in my garage but I can't mount them. Oh well, the time will come.

Nice lookin' rims, how much did they run you?

 

[X~FACTOR]

20x10!

How much do they weigh each? With 3/4" room, how big of a tire can you run with those? Are they gonna be sticking out?

 

[nnnick]

why dont you return them and get the 9" width?

they look good though

Geez i believe that's the shinniest explorer i've seen for a lonnnnng time in that last picture. I'm not a street fan, but that's going to look good. When do you put the tires on?

 

[Hartman]

I think they weight about 44lbs each. Pretty heavy. They cost me about 1400, but I got a deal.

 

[Black Magic]

Looks hot! Those pics look familiar! LOL

You should have your front bumper painted black!

You know what I mean Hartman.

 

[Hartman]

Thanks Josh, I keep it as clean as possible. I'll probably order the tires in about a month. 275/40/20 Pirelli PZeros.

 

[bndrulez]

That doesn't sound too bad. Those rims look absolutely dwarfed in that wheel.

 

[CodePoet]

Look really good Hartman. Down here in bloomington i'm seeing alot of "streeters" with spinners on....really don't care for those...just my "hick" opinion though. Gotta say though your truck is deffintly well done, i like it!

Later

[Hartman]

I hate spinners too.

 

[GIJOE]

Weren't you getting the OE on Porche Cayannes? Also, aren't you a bit worried that with heavy rims and tires it would slow your truck down? The reason I'm asking is because I just got the rims for my wife's Rav4 (will get installed this weekend). She's going from 215/70-16 (40+ lbs with rims) to 255/55-17 (57 lbs) and I was wondering about the weight issue myself.

275/40/20's are OE on Cayannes with 20's, which is an option on those trucks. I don't believe they come with the Pirelli brand though. I'm going with Pirelli because they're the cheapest and I've heard so many good things about PZeros.

I'm not really concerned with the weight issue. Granted, they will slow the truck down, but that's the price you gotta pay for the look.
