As the title suggests, I want to get new rims for my truck (pictured below). I'd prefer something wider than stock and maybe taller as well (18 inch max). And if I could get an inch of backspacing or so to stop rubbing on sharp turns that would be great too.

So, I'm opening up to suggestions. I don't think I want total blacked out rims, but I'm not opposed to having some black in them.

If you have any thoughts, suggestions, recommendations, warnings, etc. then let me hear 'em! And if you can post a pic of your recommendation then that's even better. Even better than that is photoshopping it on my truck. That will earn you a special reward.

I'm running 35x12.50 E rated tires and plan to stick with that size so it has to be something that will work with that. Here's a few pics of the truck...

 

I really like it just the way it is. That's one sharp looking truck, fits well with its environment.

 

 

Well thanks!! I actually like the look of the factory wheels just fine. I'm just a little concerned because I think they're a bit narrow for the 12.5's. The factory rims are 8" wide and my tires say they should be on 8.5"-11" rims. If I could find factory rims that were 10" wide I'd get them in a heartbeat.

 

Pffft....


Im runnin 11.50s on 17x6's. Your fine.

 

as log as you pay attentin to your tire pressure and run it so the tread is fairly flat on the ground you'll get good mileage. My biggest gripe was towin with them. There was a ton of sway that I attribted to a lot of sidewall as well as the way the sidewall had to roll way in to the rim. I ran BFG mudders in 37x12.50on 8" whels and got 45k miles with a little life left when I changed them. A fairly common wheel size is 17x9 or 18x9 with +18 to +20 offset.

A couple wheels I like:

The most important question that you have to answer is....

Do you care if they stick out from the fender well? Fender Flares painted to match is a must. Due to the fact that you have the 2 tone like me, good luck getting the paint to stick to flexing fenders.

The only option is upgrade to Alcoa 22.5 wheels/tires or select a backspacing to allow for larger diameter wheels with a good tire combo. I have yet to find one. I am however open to recommendations.

 

I think I'm just gonna keep what I have.

 

I really like the fitment of 12.50 tires on 9" wide wheels with +18 or +20 offset. There are pics of a few trucks in the sticky thread up top, but I think a 2" flare would be a must with the conditions you drive!

 

I know you said you didn't want all black, but, as a cheaper alternative, what about powercoating the wheels you have? Just a thought
