What Size Combo???
Hey Ive got a 05 Screw and I have put a 2" front lift spacers installed. I have been told I can put 33's on this, is this true? Then what size rims would you guys suggest and do you have any photos of similar setups? I was thinking like 18"??? I was originally thinking like a 20" rim, but I am concerned that they are going to stick out the sides too much for my taste as well as not really knowing what I can get for tires that will look right.... You guys have any suggestions on the backspacing for all this stuff? Im lost.

If you've got a 4wd you can go up to 35". I just upgraded to a set of 17" FX4 wheels and BFG AT 315/70/17's(34.5") and have no rub at all. I do have a 2.5" autospring but I've also got a Westin brushguard w/Hella 4000 Metal lights that take a little out of the lift. I'll have some pics later on today.

edit: If you want to see my setup, click on the chingas. I have 17X9 wheels with 5.5" backspacing and 33X12.5X17 tires.

If you go with an 18" wheel, I would suggest a tire size of 285/65's which works out to be about a 32.5" diameter. By the way, nice to see another truck on here from Palm Springs

I like the Airaid MIT and using the stock airbox. Only noticeable difference is a little better throttle response. I had the full on Volant CAI system on prior but I didn't like the sound of it (a little too loud for me), and I didn't notice enough performance out of it to bear with the sound. Anyways, good luck with your wheel/tire decision and post some pics when you get them on!
