4th gen wheels on 3rd.

New to this. Wondering if there are any issues at all when putting 20” 4th gen wheels on my 3rd gen. 2008 ram 2500.

Also id love to see some pictures with that setup!

Hey did you ever end up doing this? I'm interested in doing the same thing on my 2007.5. Do you know what the offset difference is between the 3rd and 4th gen wheels?

The 4ths have more backspacing than the 3rds. The wheels will be hugging the body closer.
I know control arm clearance could be an issue depending on the width of the tire.
20's are going to adversely affect the ride over a 17" or 18".

Danderson is correct, If you use, may need to get 1/2 inch to 1 inch wheel spacers to get them baddies looking normal. My Neighbor has 20's on his truck, don't like the backspacing.
