Default 20inch Ram Rims on a JK

While at the Jeep /Dodge dealer looking at the 09 JK offerings, I spied a 2009 Ram 4 x 4 with really nice rims that would look great on my Sahara. I see these are 5 on5.5 inch bolt pattern, however if the backspace is ok this will work with STEEL spacers until I can make up my wider axles.
Cannot find details on the configuration of the wheel.

Very cool rims, much like the ones on the Lower 40 concept however with 5 spokes.

I know a guy that has Dodge truck wheels on a JK with 5 on 5.5 he just used the addapter in place of the spacer and the wheels come with 37" BFGs and he had no issues so far.

I think the back spacing was the same. I don't like the Ram center cap on a jeep but it isn't too noticable and the wheels look nice.

Are you finding the Dodge wheels for a deal? If not, I'm not sure spending the kind of cash the dealer would charge + the cost of spacers compared to what an aftermarket wheel with the same look (but w/ a JK bolt pattern) would cost.

Either way good luck and post some pics if you do it.

I have 20" tires on my 2009 Dodge Ram. Looks just fine on the bigger truck.

I'm not so temped to put the 20" wheels on the JK, but I can't stop thinking about what that 390HP Hemi would do to it!!

If all stock in height, you must have 32's? on 20 inch rims.

The 35's should work out great on 20's and that is the plan, 2.5" lift to clear the diamameter issues.

20's on 35's would be similar to the stock 17's on 32's.
