Looking for some Lift / Tire info?



Does anyone have any info on this guys truck, or one like it. I Just ordered the exact same wheels. I was wanting the same look as this.

Looks to be a 5/6 lift with 325/60-20 nittos

The rims have a deep look to them so I'm guessing a 4.5" or less back spacing. The lift looks like a 6" to clear the front end when turning. I have a similar look in my gallery.

The look is great but it seems to me the offset tires would fling tons of mud/ rock up the sides of the truck although it would appear the truck pictured may never see dirt.

the 20's stick out too far. The 18 in version of those wheels fits perfect.

I really like the look of a lot of these trucks but I wish I could get the same tire/wheel combos in a narrower tire. The 14 and 15" wide tires are just waaay too wide. Hell, I think my BFG 315s are a bit too wide and they are less than 13".

Thems is some **** nice looking trucks though!

Nice trucks.


Red rock, you got any stats on your rims. What width and backspacing.

the main issue to watch is the wheel offset and width. tire width is greatly affected by wheel width. with deep dish rim like that you will need more lift. less backspacing pushes the tire out away from the vehicle and when you turn the tire will be closer to the bumper and the fender. If those are only 325's you can proably go with a 4" lift. 5 would deffinatly be plenty. if you want to step up to the 355/60-20 you would want 6" IMO to be safe.

you kind of have to decide you you want 35's or 37's. I personally like the 37's with the 6" lift. I am glad my wife talked me into it. It is all personal opinion though

Those are some really nice looking trucks not only in the first post, but in the galleries that are mentioned as well. It would be nuce to see a quadcab longbed 3rd gen lifted 6" on 37s, though. Anyone here got one?

tall narrow tires

Personally I would like to find a fairly tall and narrow tire in a 17 inch rim. They tend to work much better for my purposes- mud, snow and highway. I lived in heavy snow country in the Sierras and found the tall narrow tires cut through the snow to the road much better. Also in mud the narrower tires would cut to hard ground rather than float ontop of the mud.
Has any one heard of such a tire for 17 inch rims?
