I just picked these up and plan to put them on my 2022 when it arrives, with some 33s. They were new take offs and sat in a dealers closet for a couple years. There are still little bar code stickers on the tires so guessing not used much beyond test drives. What's a little odd is that the date forged into the wheels and the date in marker on the tires is 2017. Is that odd, based on being 5th gen with 6 x139.7 lug? They are completely spotless so I'm still okay with them but anything I should be aware of ....sensors, lug nut difference between these and a 2021/2022?

The date on the rims has no real bearing on anything. That just means they were manufactured several years ago and just sat around. It's not like they can wear and should be just fine.

That's what I was thinking. Just seemed odd that the tire and wheel set were assembled in 2017 for a 2019 truck. Maybe not I guess if they had ramped up parts that far ahead of the new gen launch.

Are those the 20" rim version of the big horn back country we ordered? They look very close to the stock black 18" we are getting.

I'm having a hard time to keep the rims and upgrade to 33" tires. Or replace the rim/tires with something else all together.

They are 20" Laramie night off road package wheels / 2019 Big horn night wheels). I bought the set for $500 and they really are new take offs (still stickers on tires). Planning to use these on the backcountry since there are more 33" non LT tire options with 20" wheels. But, will see how the stock 18" look before deciding.
