What size tire/rim will fit with what height??

Still havnt decided on the wheel/tire/lift setup I wanna do. 33" or 35" w/ leveling and new shocks all around or 4" kit or 37" tires with 6" lift or 18" or 20" wheels!!! do I want 12.50 wide or 13.50 wide tires, do I want 18x9 or 20X10!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!

Can someone help me narrow my seach down. I do occasional towing, probably around once a week (NOT GOOSENECK/5th wheel) and I tow no more than 6k lbs, maybe 7-10k every once in a while which would be a 30ft boat. I do city but more highway driving. I dont want to see much if any performance loss, I want to still be able to race but also want the mean look and RELIABILTY is HUGE!!! I like the wide look more than the tall look, a combo of both. TIA

a 4 inch,35'' tires on some nice twinkies would look tall and bad edited by admin but would still be easy to drive plus 35's wouldn't hurt the performance side as bad as 37's
4.5'' backspacing on the rims would make your truck look wider but be prepared to have a dirty truck EVERY time it rains........
in the end the person driving the truck every day should decide on what he/she wants because not everybody likes the same look

AWESOME trucks, what kind of rims are those? Also, can you feel a big performance loss/drop with those 37" v.s. the stock ones? How wide are those rims and tires?

You better have deep pockets if you go with 35's or 37's on 20's. Tires alone will run about $350 each for 35's and up to $400+ for 37's. My brother's going through this right now. After about 17,000 miles he's preparing to replace his Toyo MTs. Best price we could find for 35x12.50/20 Toyo M/Ts was $340 ea before tax, shipping, mount and balance, etc. Tires for 18" wheels are about $60 less per tire, and 17's are about $60 less per tire than the 18's. I can just about buy a duplicate set of wheels and tires for my truck for the cost of 35x20 inch tires alone. Food for thought.....

I am running 20" Rockstars, with 35" Toyo M/Ts. On a 4.5" Superlift and Bilstein 5100s, so far I love this set up. I still hual goosenecks and from the receiver no problems at all. I have pics in gallery, but I have to say the trucks do the truck NO justice, it looks much better in person IMO. ON a side note, just put the Thuren/Fox shock SS on last nite, pics to come in different thread....

well, i took 37" tires out of consideration, so its either 33" or 35" with 18" or 20" wheels. Please post some pics 4" - 6" lifts with ONLY 33" or 35" tires so I can get an idea with how everything would look. TIA

37's on 22"s w/ a 6" lift..

And yeah you better be ready to spend around $2600 for a set of 4.. My 1st set of Nitto's were $499 a tire and my Toyo's were $580 a tire plus tax..

I mean its only money right, you cant take it to the grave
