Has anyone purchased and installed some aftermarket rims for their 03/04 2500s? We just bought our 04 2500 4x4 QC last night and tomorrow we're going shopping for some new rims and BFG285s.

Any pictures? Likes/dislikes?

Thanks.

 

I have Mickey Thompson Classic II rims on mine and I love them! They do make the tires stick out further than the stock rims so you may want to get fender flares as well (I did). Here is a link to some of my pics...

I’ve seen the black wheels on someone’s truck. Does anybody know what brand they are? I’d like to find a set of black wheels with the same width and back spacing as stock. The biggest tire I’ll probably go to is a 285. I'd rather not change the stock geometry of the truck.

 

I have black wheels on but it is not stock back spcing. They stick out about 1.5 inche with 285's on. If you want to see a picture here is the link to the post. https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...1625#msg191625

There are two companies out there making black wheels for the 03/04. Pacer which is what I have and the other brand I do not remember . The other brand is stock though. Wish I was more help.

 

Take a look at the 17x8 American Racing Pythons and Atlas series they both come in Chromed Alluminum

 

My brother just sent me a picture of his 2500 QC 4x4 with the American Racing Python 17x8 and Les Schwab Mud Terrain SXT 35/12.50-17 and it looks very sharp. I can email you a pic if you want.

BigBlueHo - NICE ride....!!! ;D

 

Bigblue, those rims look sweet. Did you have to install the leveling kit due to rubbing with those 315s and rims? Looks awesome.

 

Thanks for the comments guys! ;D

Lightman, yes the leveling kit is necessary to keep it from rubbing. It is still very close though. It is so close that I can't even put mud flaps on the front with the fender flares cause they will rub for sure.

 

Hey, BBH -

Thanks for the rims; They worked GREAT!

The 315's sometimes rub on the inside, against the link, but most of the time, a sweet ride!

Plus, backspace & offset is stock, a big plus to me.

One day, I may lift it & go to a really big tire for the beach!

Thanx again..

Rene,

Glad to here you are enjoying them! I saw a pic of your truck and it looks good on the beach! Those big tires really make a difference.

 

BBH- Truck looks sharp! I definately think I need 315's!-Steve
