Rays Gram Lights 57DR-X

[ProjectsInMotion]

The only thing I didn't love about my 2020 Limited was the wheels and tires. I replaced them today with Rays Gram Lights 57DR-X wheels, in 18x9 +0, and Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S tires, in 275 65 18. I'm very happy with how they look and drive.



Cheers

Looks good. But, I would have gone with a larger tire to fill the wheel well more and give it a better look.

This is the largest size they offer the Discoverer AT3 4S for 18" wheels. Any larger than this would have been an LT tire, which I have no interest in.

Update to this. The wheel weights installed towards the back of the barrel were contacting the brake calipers on the front wheels. I did a few things to alleviate this. The first was to shave down the casting marks on top of the calipers





I also had my tire shop replace the weights they used with low profile wheel weights that were also black to more closely match the color of the rims

CK Auto Low Profile Black Wheel Weights, 1/4 Oz
CK Auto Low Profile Black Wheel Weights, 1/2 Oz

Doing both of those things allowed enough clearance and the truck now drives more smoothly than ever

Cheers

Very JDM of you…good stuff. I think the Rays wheels and a 2/4 drop would look great

What wheel weights were they using?

I only ever have the ones you linked on any of my cars\trucks tires.

Wonder if they were trying to use the crappy cheap clip ons.

Nice, I love Rays wheels.

Needs lowering or bigger tires

They were using stick-on weights that were one or two millimeters thicker than the ones that I supplied.

Ah interesting. Quite the tight tolerance on your wheels. I would be too scared to do that.

I like your wheel choice! I'm thinking about going with Level 8 MK6, same size. How do your tires sit in relation to the fender flares?

Those are good looking wheels, for sure.

Now If Volk would makes some TE’s in our bolt pattern like they do for Toyota I’d be sold.

They do. Various models of the TE are available in 6x139.7 PCD, with 18" and 20" options having some ok widths/offsets, and 22" as well with a weak(ish) offset).
I would have gone down the road of 20x9.5 +0 in the Ultra Large PCD if the wait time had been a little more practical. Unfortunately, I don't have the patience anymore so ordered some 2 piece forged wheels instead.

Oh no. This is a very bad thing yet amazing also. My wife’s going to hate me. Googling it now. Thank you!

I'm not a huge fan of the style of rim, but man am I ever so envious about all the tire sidewall while i'm rocking my OEM 22s.
I have only ever bought aftermarket rims once for my 06 Mustang from Town Fare Tire so they worried about the fit. I feel like I would have bad luck if I tried to get new rims on my Ram with air suspension. I don't want to do any "trimming".
I don't dislike the way the OEM wheels look, but they are just too big, 22s is kind of silly on a truck

I’d be up to a swap of my chrome 20s and tires. I have 850 miles on them. Located in northern va. Not sure where you are

I thought about a set of Volk TE37SB rims but the Gram Lights 57DR-X are very similar visually, nearly as strong, and less than half the price from the same manufacturer.

I love this style of wheel, that's why I bought them, but I agree with you about the factory 22s. The extra sidewall is exactly why I went with a set of 18s, even if they took a few minutes of clearancing to fit properly.

No thanks.
My truck is all black. No chrome on this build.

If I change rims I am definitely going to go back to 18s like my last truck.
