About to go insane if I don't stop looking

I have all my lift stuff in the garage, my programmer sitting in my room, and my 4.56 gears in my truck....

Now I have come to a dilemma on wheels and tires. I know I want to cram 35x12.5x18 Toyos again, but I don't want the same wheel as I had last time. I used to have 18x9.5 +25 offset Vtec Raptors, and now I want an 18x9 wheel but I'm scared if I get + 25 offset again it wont stick out as much as the wider wheel did. And I'm scared if I go with a 0 or +1 offset wheel, it will rub metal and I'm screwed.

So, does anybody with more experience than me help me out. And by more experience I mean, someone that has actually done it. Not a 17 year old kid.

And yes you can fit 35's on a 2wd with just a level.

i think going to around 0 offset will be to much. i looked thru your threads and i vote you get these even though they're not 18's.

I've looked at raptor wheels, and I do like them, but I saw a truck in my town the other day with them and some 35" mud tires on them. They didnt stick out as much as I would like them to.

i think the safe choice is sticking with a wheel similar to the specs you already had. only seen 3 or 4 leveled 2wd's with 35's but they all ran stock wheels. so can't give you too much help.

I think I'm going to order 2 different sets of wheels at Discount Tire, then have those guys mount up the 0 offset first to check, then the +25..

Correct me if im wrong... but that camburg kit is no simple leveling kit and it says on their sit a recomended bs of 4.5 which would stick out plenty..

Its just a set of coilovers and a set of UCAs. I talked to the guys there about what I wanted to do and they said that I could use the stock wheels if I wanted with my 35s until I can find a wheel I like.
