RockStar wheels
 
Hey guys I have posted this on one other forum and still no luck with a real answer. I have a 2004.5 quad cab going to install a leveling kit and wanting to run the rockstar 18x9 with 35/12.5/18. I beleive the wheel only comes in one offset something like 5 will this work or not? If any one is running this please post pics

appreciate the information I have read every wheel post and it is always something different I may end up going with 33's or sticking with stock wheels and 35's probally should just do the 33's just for milage

I have Wolverines (20's) and 34 inch tires and they just barley (barly) ?? whatever..... they rub, and I have a leveling kit. 2.5 inch. so, I would say either go with a lift or go smaller.

I am running that wheel in a 20" size instead of 18". I want to say the BS was 5.17. I have pics of them on the truck, and from the side in my gallery, take a look.[guitar]

there was a megacab at my work yesterday that had 2.5" pucks on the front with 35x13.50x18 dune grapplers and rockstars.

personally my truck would fit that size tire without a 4" lift, but my backspacing is 4.75 and i had MT ATZ

You'll need 5.5"-6" of backspacing. I run 35's on a 20" rim with a level kit. My backspacing is 5 5/8" and have an offset of +14mm, have never rubbed.

I'd go with 33's on an 18" rim, looks good without seeming like too much BLING! I test fitted 33's on my 20" rims and it didn't look right.

The Rockstars used to have a couple of offset/backspacing options but apparently they are now ONLY available in a 0 offset (4.5" backspacing). This WILL rub with 35x12.50R18 tires and only a level lift.

Here is the proof, straight from the wheelpros website (which was linked straight from KMC's website).

Ignore the fact that they say the BS of a 9" wide wheel with 0 offset is 5.00. That is clearly a typo. A 5.00 BS with 0 offset would be a 10" wide wheel.

I have 35's on 22 inch Rockstar's with only a 2" leveling kit and no rubbing.

Rim specs are:

Rim width is 9.5"
Backspacing is 5.72"
Offset is +12mm

I'm running 35 13.50 18 on rockstars.. with a 3 inch level kit barely rubbed the back of the fender hammer fixed that

I'm running 35's 12.50 20' Toyo m/ts on 20's but my wheel is 10" and I had to do some trimmin and hammer work as well, I have a 4.5" lift, I think the wheel width being 10 didn't help me out any. I used to run MKW26 but they started to pit and rust so I traded some dude from Portland for the Rockstars, I needed a black wheel up here in Canada with our winters.
