I am ready to buy a set of rims and tires and I was wondering if you guys have any good advice about whether to go with 18's or 20's. I plan on getting the moto 950 or the 951 and 33" Nitto terragraplers. I have a 2.5as that I plan on putting on whenever I get my wheels and tires.

Also I want to get an aal. What brand are you guys running??


By the way my truck is a 04 scab 4X4.

 

It's all a matter of personal preference, but I think 33's look better on 18's.

 

On behalf of the board, I just want to give props to wandell - king of all tire questions.

ferguson41 - if you have questions about what will fit, backspacing, etc - wandell's the man.

 

What backspacing should I go with??

 

It depends on the look you want. I believe both are offered with 6.1 or 4.7 (or close to that) inches of backspacing.

 

I want the tires to stick out a little bit b/c I plan on getting a set of pocket style flares... So do I need to go with the 4.7??

Also since I am leveling the front should I get the aal for the rear too??

 

Well, they will both stick out more than the OEM wheels. A 9 inch wheel with 6.1 inches of backspacing will stick out about an inch farther than the OEM wheel while a 9 inch wheel with 4.7 inches of backspacing will stick out about 2.5 inches farther than stock.
As for the add-a-leaf, its up to you.

 

Thanks. I appreciate the input
