Proper directional wheels and rotating ? Is it a problem?

[RonBang]

So I been looking at Arkon OffRoad Lincoln wheels. They are proper directional wheels so can only rotate front to back. Do you think just being able to rotate front to back would be that big of a deal?

Some people like the looks of proper directional wheels.. But as much as you need to rotate bigger aggressive tires I'd never run them! Unless you like mounting and unmounting tires every few rotations... Or if you're not going the aggressive tire route

Gonna do 20x10 -24 or it’s -25 offset with 11.5 wide tires. With a hybrid tire. Only drive like 6-7k miles a year jobs like 5mins from home so...

I think even the stock Rams can only go back to front and front to back .

It depends on the tire tread, if directional or not.

I think you are confusing directional wheels with directional tires. Directional tires cannot be rotated side to side. Looking at the Arkon website i didnt see anything stating rotation limitations. It looks like the directional wheels are "cosmetically" directional.

no no I mean for looks wise since they are proper directional. If you put the right side wheels on the left for example they will look rotating backwards.

Balancing and alignment are key, and the tires may not last quite as long. My old Vette had different size front and rear wheels and came with directional tires. So...zero rotation possible.
