Oops, I must have been looking at the wrong ones. You should be fine with 4.75"

I keep looking at them and everyone else lies the 2s but I gotta go with the 3s. They look more rugged. The 2s look street worthy only

JMHO

I went with the M4 Mamba through tirerack. I paid around 780 for 4 and they through in the valve stems and locking lugnuts for free, along with a sample for cleaning the tires. When I get my Spare it will be through them as well. I then went through a mopar parts america and got 5 TPMS sensors they actually sent out 6 but I paid for 5. The rims were double packed in boxes once from the manufacture the second from tirerack for inspection when tire rack got them I guess. Here is a picture of them on in the box is mine the other from the website and yes those are faux bolts but they do look real

Thanks for all the input, I went with the Mamba m2's, The price was too good I couldn't resist, got 5 Rims plus shipping for $650 total!! From Ebay member "wheelteam"

Mutts, i didn't even think about that TPMS, i'm assuming you don't "need" them but then that light will display constantly right? I looked on the Mopar America site briefly and tried to search but they didnt come up do you have a link to them?

I like the deeper look of the 2's. But from the looks of it, those wheels don't have a safety beed? hich would make airdown kind of sketchy.
