XD Mammoths and 35s

[Agitated]

I know most people like black wheels these days but they are not my preference. Makes my choices more limited. Finally decided on some chrome Mammoths. 20x9, 0 offset. Those are 35x12.50 tires but they look shorter in pics for some reason. I like the stance, the tires edge is flush with the fender lip. Perfect for me.

I agree, black wheels would not have looked right on your truck. The chrome wheels go nicely with the other chrome accents. Nice looking truck!

They look fantastic with your trucks color and theme. Black rims would not have done you any justice.

I have had black rims on several vehicles the last few years. I have purchased polished aluminum for my new Ram.

Your truck looks great. The right wheels can sure make the difference.

Thanks! I’ll try to get a front and rear view to show the offset.

Got to agree with everybody on the chrome. Looks awesome, Solid choice on the wheels tires and offset. It does go to show if you put the 3.5" kit you got to run 35's anything smaller just wouldn't look right.

How is the power with the 3.21 gears? I've been wrestling back and forth with this. I've put on a set of KO2s in 275/65/20 for now but am really wanting to bump up to 35s when I go with a bigger lift. I'm sure the fuel economy tanks but I'm not driving a Hemi for economical reasons lol.

The power is still respectable and fine. There's really not much difference between the size you have and 35s, maybe 1". I'd prefer 3.92 gears but the 8 speed transmission really makes the higher gears much more forgiving. I'm kind of a low gear freak anyway, so if I could I'd put 4.56s in it. I only tow a 16' car hauler and 16' travel trailer so I just lock out 8th gear and use tow/haul. Otherwise it does fine when empty. If I can ever find a lower set of gears for it I will be swapping.

Awesome. I'm going to roll with the 34s for now since I would hate the money I dropped on them to go to waste, but will take a serious look at going larger. Also curious to see if the gears on these trucks can be changed out easily. I know on the 4th gens the later years you could not swap them due to the front differential.
