Okay guys and gals...Im narrowing everything down and ready to purchase some parts.

Here is what I have decided...

- I love the Moto Metal 18x9 951 in Black - the only thing is they stick out quite a bit for my liking, however I can work with it

- To compensate on the sticking out, Ive decided to go with Bushwacker Pocket Style Flares - seems to be a fairly close lineup to the wheels when they are on

- Tires Ive settled for are the Pro Comp Xterrain 33/13.50 18 - These seem like a perfect size tire for now; given I do not have a lift (only a leveling kit)

Ive seen the setup on a couple trucks on here...only with lift kits 4"-6" lifts and it looks bad @ss! Im wondering if it will look decent without the lift and with my current leveling kit.

Your thoughts...are the flairs too aggressive for a non-lifted truck? Or should I just deal with it for a couple months until I get the lift kit?

Let me know honest opinions...I dont want to look like a fool with some big flares, not lifted with nice wheels and tires. I can sort of picture it, but cant help but picture the guys with the 4"-6" lifts.

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!

 

First question... what size is your leveling kit?

 

Its an Autospring 1.5" kit...gave me about 2 1/4 to 2 1/2" lift.

 

It will look good without the lift but even BETTER with the lift. You can always buy the wheels and tires now and buy the lift latter when you have more money. Im possitive the 33s will fit and even 35s might fit.

 

I think the flares ar a little much for a non lifted truck...

Flares on non lifted truck:

 

Don't get the silly flares.... they don't need them to look good.

Here is mine:


You'll never fit those 33/13.5 without big time rubbing on them. They will rub like hell. Go with 33/12 or smaller...

Maybe if you went with a 2.0 or 2.5 leveling kit maybe... but damn that is TOO CLOSE for those tires!

Look at how close it was on my setup:

 

yea I agree I would reconsider getting the fender flares AFTER you get the lift. Dont get them with just the spacer

 

Are those 325/60? DAMN...thats pretty close. I want the wheels so bad and cant find anything close to what I like. It would be such a perfect setup with a 5.5 backspacing.

Hmm...the only reason I wanted to get the flares now is because my truck is at the body shop and since theyre painting my truck, I might as well throw the flares on and have them paint it as well. I agree it might be a bit much for a non-lifted truck...but man...DECISIONS DECISIONS!!!

By the way...nice trucks.

** Anyone know where to get Toyo 33x12.50??? Back order business is killing me. FORD2004F150 - Show my a frontal shot...I want to see the width and how far they stick out. I can live with the rear like that.

 

If you have to get fender flares then get the ones without the rivets in them. I got my toyos last january from some shop in Southern Cali. I was looking around for a long time and I came across this store that had them. Just look around on the internet and send some emails. You might find some.

 

Where is the cheapest place to get the pocket flares?

 

Yes they are LT325/60R18D2 119S B

I am working on that front shot for you....

 

Whats the converted size of a 325/60/18? Slightly less that a 33/13.50? Sorry for all the questions, I just appreciate the help guys...

 

Tire diameter (inches) = 33.354330708661415
Tire section width (inches) = 12.795275590551181
Tire sidewall (inches) = 7.677165354330708

I like the exact measurements. Nice work

 

Does Moto Metal have a website with sizes and such?
