DUDE, f n BAD *** TRUCK , LOOKS PERFECT! dont even thik about lowering it, it will take away its badass image.

 

Let me know when you get closer the buying some wheels, we can go over all the details to make sure you don't get the wrong setup

 

thanks bro! appreciate the compliment

 

It will be end of the month or First of February until I get them. I was thinking about a Alba Grip (8lug 5 spoke) Chrome MB Gunner 8, A Diamo 8 Karat, or the Chrome Eagle Alloys that is like a bootleg Weld Evo Velociti 8.

I love the KMC and A guy wants to make me a good deal on the Diamos off his Duramax. I have yet to see an HD on the Alba. I like them what do ya think.

 

the problem with off the shelf wheels is that they don't come with the BS to fit wheels wider than 8.5" & not stick out past the fender flare . Hence my staggered BS. The other thing that was of concern to me, but may not be to you, was that the wheels track inline of each other. Stock, the front track width is approx 2" wider than the rear.
If you want to run off the shelf wheels and you don't want them to stick out past the fender flare then you will be limited to a 8.5" wide wheel in the 4.5-5.5" BS region. The good news is that a 305/50-20 tire is still rated to mount to a 20x8.5" wheel, your call bro

 

I would like them to be flush with the flares (could stick out just a hair if need be), the staggered back spacing is too rich for my blood, I need to be able to rotate the tires. I think I will just use a BILLET spacer to fix the rear track. Dammit, which wheels do you suggest! I saw some Boze wheels I liked (custom offests). I am also worried about rubbing. I really don't want to cank up torsion bars much(if at all, done that before on my Z71) and I refuse to cut on a new truck.

What did yours cost (just curious). Intro wheels. Right?

 

you'll be fine with the 1" billet spacers out back

I recommend a 20x8.5" wheel with as close to 5.5" of BS as you can get, and your 305/50-20 tires. with those spacers that would even out the track width. I have a photo of a 20x8.5" wheel with 5.5" BS mounted up front for your reference.

 

My wheels cost approx 2500 bucks after CA tax. I think I paid 550 or 575 each wheel, not really much more than some of those wheels you posted.
Yes, Intro Pentia 8's

Contact this dude, his name is Bryan, he should be able to hook you up:

Looks good. I like the g-Force T/A's. The tread pattern is mean. I just don't like paying $580 each for a tire, but I did. (24's are pricey) I think the stance on your truck looks good, a 2500 isn't really the kind of truck you drop IMO.

 

MOREGRIP- Thanks for the help Grippy.

1SLOWHOE- The "family truckster" looks tight. Did you get your whistle tips from Bubb Rubb himself? LOL!
