I need help with wheels....

I am going to be installing my 2.5" leveling kit with my 3" block in the rear. I like the moto metal 951 (I know some will say they are played) I was thinking about going with the 20x9" because I only leveled my truck and I think the 20x10's will look dumb. From searching all over the net it looks like the 20x9's have little to know dish to them and the 20x10's have all the dish but maybe it just the pic's I have been looking at. Any help would be much appreciated. I'm having a wheel dilemma because I like dish but 10" wide i think is to much for me...I can't seem to find the right one that will look good with my little lift.

It's a lot of money in wheels and tires and I just want to make sure I get what I want the first time.

I believe the 20x10's only have 4.5 inches of bs. This means they will have a deep dish but they will also stick out 3.5 inches farther than your OEM wheels. I'd go with the 20x9's.

deeper the dish the better! i think the 951's look stupid w/ out that dish.

what about jesters? i think they'd tie in really good w/ the truck. the ring ring on the rim would go w/ the fx4 pretty well

Those are sick and the make them ina 20x9 do you have any pics on your truck? I would like to see them.

I guess I'm on the fence about 18" or 20'' And I agree the bigger the dish the better. On my VW I have a 3" dish on the rear wheels...somtimes when I go outside in the morning I find homless people living in them

That would be great, I'm pretty sure you sold me on them. If you don't want to post you can always e-mail me the pics!

Thanks again!

theres a leveled white Fx4 on here that has the 20x10's with 33's , i think it looks great.

if you dont want them to stick out that far , id go with 20x9 with 5.71 backspace version.

if u plan on lifting down the road go with the 20x10's

When I found this pic it made me want to do 20x10! As soon as I get my level kit on I will order the wheels and tires.
