Hey guys...
I keep hearing yes and no about lifts and stock rims.

I'm going to be getting pro comp stage 1 lift.
Will be running mazzi hulks but will take them off in the winter

Can i run my stock 18inch FX4 rims with a pro comp lift with small tires in the winter? dont care how it looks.
just need a for sure answer

 

Why wouldn't you be able to? I mean your truck will hate you depending if you have a tuner or not, but is it physically possible to run the same tires now just with the truck sitting up 6" higher, yes.

 

the lift kit changes out the knuckles, it only allows for certain rims (rims must have a minimum backspace, hence aftermarket rims should rub the knuckles)


this have been talked about over and over, i believe you will have rubbing and your turning radius will get bigger. spacer would work, but i wouldn't do it. i have seen guys running them, but the inside of the rims get chewed up.

rancho is the only lift that advertises stock rims can fit fine, but i have seen stockers on fabtech and heard they fit ok. i believe you would need a spacer though.

 

where can you get wheel spacers?

There's just no way i can run my hulks in the winter up here in pa, the roads are caked in salt from nov-march they have already pitted some

 

You can with a spacer so I have heard...check your local 4x4 place or online...they are 5.5 bs so if you need 5 get a half...or get a 1'' and make them sit out further...i know mine dont look to hot sticking in 3'' from the edge of the flares

 

me neither, i look down the sides of my truck and i wanna puke, looks horrible, but my 20's are nice and shiny in the garage.

 

buy a set of black wheels , then you can just switch rims for winter/summer

black will look sick and a lot better than stockers

 

i saw one lift running oem 20's, but id get new winter wheels or get the rancho

 

Well i know for sure the stock 18"s fit on the fabtech 6" with no rubbing at all... as for the procomp im pretty positive they dont fit without the spacer.

 

I wish i could afford two sets of wheels...thats not gonna happen to awhile..

Lol..i always take my bushwackers off in the winter. Cant stand the look of stockers with the flares!

 

just keep your eyes open for deals , i got a set of 20'' chrome mazzi's for $400 and i also bought my black 7005's for $700 while they were having the buy 3 get 1.

 

really? i don't care how it looks, its winter time. you can find some cheap 18's on ebay, keep your eyes open like idnc76 said

from a distance the stock chrome 17's look good, but looking straight on it's pretty flamer....lol

 

man o man...how the heck did you get the hulks that cheap? used? what are you doing with them?

i'll look into the black wheels

 

yeah i bought them used from a member on here a few months ago. my original plan was to powder coat them , but the chrome is still in great shape, im not gunna touch em.


since you have an Fx4 with ptm bumpers, i think black wheels would look great on your truck, esp better than stockers lol. i bought the cast black 7005's and they re holding up great in the winter dont even have to clean em

 

It works....
