20" Boyds J5R's

20x8-1/2 5x5 with 5" BS will these look ok on my truck?, and what size tires do I need to get? I don't want rubber bands, my trk has been lowered 2" with springs in the front and the rear I think 4" with shackles, so I need to find out what I need to buy for these rims, I like a little taller tire so it won't ride so rough, what do you wheel and tire guys think? thanks

Your 4" rear drop should be shackles and hangers. Each component is good for 2".

With only a 2/4 drop you should be just fine.

Re: 20" Boyds J5R's

Can the hangers be purchased by themselves or only as part of a shackle kit? I already have drop shackles and need hangers, or if anyone on thsi board has some hangers they wanna let go cheap

Yes, you can buy hangers separately.

Re: 20" Boyds J5R's

I went to Summitracing.com and all I found were sets of hangers and shackles. I am at work so I didn't have a lot of time to look but I will look more when I get home. If anybody has a link that would be great if not I'll find it when I get home.

Thanks

Sometimes you just have to call. I know for a fact that Stylin' Trucks can get you some hangers since I just bought some from them.
