Yeah, I know it is a link for 22's. There for a brief, very brief moment, I was considering 22's (just like to consider all possibilities). I think now the very biggest needs to be 20s. As of right now I am thinking black 20 X 8.5 Rockstars with a 37x12.50/R20 BFG A/T. Actual diam. of tire wheel combo is like 36.4 inches. Could I run this combo with a 4.5 lift on the Dodge? This truck will see offraod, but not hard, it will see dirt farm roads and such, and no offroad above say 20-25 MPH.

The Rockstars are going on my Dad's H3, not my truck. If you still want pictures I'd be happy to post them for you. We dropped of his truck this morning and should be picking it up around lunch.
As far as weight rating go, I talked to Bud at KMC and all the 8-lug wheels are rated for 3200lb.

That's Darius' truck !!!!! He's the Man!!! Too bad he blew the motor
I guess you didnt read my earlier post...djgaston has 37's on 4.5" lift...Here I even Searched it and got you a link to a thread...

I dont think anybody would confuse the Chrome Rockstars for factory ford rims. Its your decision but I think chrome would look better on red, maybe black center cap??? If you decide on black it HAS to be 37's and chrome could go either way 35 or 37
Here's a pic I got from W.E-Rock off a Limo

Yeah, it's a 10 inch lift but I think those are only 37's on 24's (he used to have 26's on his old Escalade!). I prefer the look of more rubber, but I'm not sure he can fit more without getting more lift. Those tires have a pretty big offset

Yeah, he is definitely the man! We started out in the stunt scene together back in the day when I used to live in the Bay Area. Now he is blown up! Have you seen his other rides?
Here's a link to a video of some of his stuff on MySpace, hopefully you don't have to be a member to see it. Pretty good stuff on here.

I know it's not truck related, but hey, one of his cars is a Dodge!

Isnt that weird that its possable to fit 24-26 rims on a lowered Esclade but can barley do the same to a 10" lifted Chevy. Seriously look at the height of the rubber on his truck...it can't be much if any more then the height of the rubber on a low pro 24-26" rim. Its probably because of the shape of the truck.
Yeah Ive knowen him (not personally) for a while. About 4 years ago. From servin it up. I thought his old 280Z was bad _$$. Ive been his MySpace friend for a while now.

That's the North Main offramp in Walnut Creek. One of THE funnest corners to hit! He's an insanely good driver. I went to Thunderhill to watch him race his shifter-kart one weekend and he let me enter one of the endurance races with his kart. By far one of the funnest things I've ever done!
