Default Pic me some wheels




Which wheel and tire combo would you put on this truck. I want to keep it light and atleast 18". And I am not rich, so no hre"s . The truck is leveled out now and a 2/4 may be in the future. Thanks for any input.

Sounds like you need a set of Centerline wheels. They are affordable, lightweight, and have very good quality. I would suggest either 20" Stingray III's:

or 20" Rapids:

American Racing also makes a nice wheel:

275/55-20 would be my tire size suggestion.

275/55/20's are WAY TOO tall....especially if you want to keep it light. I'd go with some 265/50/20's to keep it short and light and not hurt your final drive (rear) ratio. Those American Racing Wheels are nice, and you can get a set of 20's off of Ebay for like $600. I prob. would prefer the Centerline's tho, but their more money. 275/55/20's are for 4x4's....and weigh a TON.

Default stingray III's

Look on ebay and look for some stingrays, I just bought a set for 505.00 delivered to my door. 20X8. I used 275/45/20 tires and I like my truck.
There are pics of them on my truck in the thread "New rims and tires"
