If you don't mind I'll probably use your method for moding the Dodge cap if I can't come up with a solution to the push through style cap that I really want to achieve. I'll worry about the mod to clear Dynatracs later as I don't see that in the near future, although with push throughs it won't be an issue at all

I hope rahtok doesn't consider all of this a hijack.

And the MKW's are an aluminum rim. They will come in the size you want/need. I almost bought a set of the MKW 19's. A friend of mine has a set on his 05 QC hemi with a level kit and 35's. No rubbin issues. Just make sur to order them with a backspacing value between 5 1/2"- 6" and a positive offset value. My Ultra Predators are a 20"x9" rim with 5 5/8" backspacing and a +14mm offset. Hope this helps.

The problem with MKW's is that all thier offerings in a 17" except the M63(17x8.5 5.22" backspacing) have a backspacing of around 4.75" or less, nothing in 5.5" or more, that could cause rubbing issues.

Check out Centerline wheels they make a quality wheels at a reasonable price. If they don't have it in stock in your size or type they will custom make it for you if you are willing to wait a few weeks. http://www.centerlinewheels.com/
All the wheels that seem to fit have that blingy look you're trying to avoid (myself included) or they have the classic look but with "classic" sizes (16.5x9.75 with 4.5" backspacing), it's hard but keep trying, and when you find something thats simple and classic lookin, let me know....[/QUOTE]

You talk about bigger tires and a lift if need be, and talk about pulling the trigger on a 30ft toyhauler. There is no way that trailer is going to ride level if you get to big. Something to consider.

Actually I've been down the Centerline road, long story short, I ordered a set from them in October, recieved them in December, double checked dimensions to find out they were the wrong backspacing, sent them back, waited another 3 weeks to find out they couldn't make the size and style I wanted anymore, took 3 months for them to figure this out. Not sure if they are restructuring the company or what, but although they were very pleasant and tried to be helpful, seemed very unorganized over there. And the prices being reasonable well thats open to debate, my wheels were $420 a piece....They do build a very strong and beautifully finished wheel, when my truck gets lifted I might give them another shot at it...

I'm likely going to have to order the trailer, and getting the axles flipped is an option for a couple of extra inches of ride height on the trailer itself.
At the end of the day, I may not be able to do all of this and keep everything reasonable from a safety perspective, but with just 35s, I think that this is all do-able... no?
