Who has motto Wheels?

Im looking at Motto 700,950 or 951 18" with 325/60/18 nitto. How is the backspacing on these wheels compared to Eagle 178's. I dont want them to stick out too far.

i believe the 951's have a -12 either offset or backspace...which would make em stick out a good distance... you may wanna check up in the wheels/tires, or even a search for em..

All I do is search! I have the ok to get tires and rims but I cant figure out what I want. I like the Eagle 178 but I cant find a site that sells them with nittos. i want to do a package deal. That way I dont have to deal with the tire shops around here(they all suck).

here man, try this out...you can get just about any package if you mess with it enough... tons of options here...
http://www.bigcustomwheels.com/rt_wheels.jsp

fill out the info for the truck (2005 f150) make sure you click the stock tab and go to LIFTED, or you wont find anything.... then click moto metals, and you want the widest available Nitto brand tire... i'd give you the link, but it fails to display right when i post it... sorry full package with the black rims is $1796 before shipping, and the chrome 951 totals at $2050 before shipping all include mounting balancing, lugs, center rings and stems

They have nice combos but they are a little expensive. 273 a piece for the tires is a little high.

If you can, give Discount Tire a call. They are awesome, I got a pretty good deal from them for my Helo's and 325 Nittos. $273 per tire?? Please tell me that is for the mud grapplers and not the terra grappler, i got my terra grapplers for i believe 210....I would recommend going through a respected tire shop so they will stand by your purchase. My first set of Nittos they put on were defective, i had the worst steering shimmy, they replaced them no questions asked, plus you can get lifetime free balance and rotations.

Marshall-STX, If you dont mind me asking what was the total cost for rims tires and shipping? What is the backspacing on the Motto 700? I dont want the tire to stick out so far. Question for FX4CO, How far do the Helos stick out of the fender. I cant tell from your pictures.

Looks like it going to be between the Eagle 178 and the Helo Maxx 6.
