Need Opinions on Wheels & Tires

Hi, im a new member to this site and wanted to know anyones opinion on what I would like to put on my Black 2005 Ford F150 FX4

I saw that someone has the exact rims I want on this site, they are the Liquid Metal Magma Black Mirror machined, the only difference I want to do is put Nitto Terra Grappler AT 275/60 R20 tires instead of the Nitto NT420S. Do you guys think it would look ridiculous with these rims on All Terrain tires. And would it even fit? I definantly want to put those tires on but not sure what rims would look good?

Thanks

ha, I was just about to put up a post recomending some black wheels, so I will half way hijack yours and add some pics.

this is the truck, and I am considering these wheels:
20 x 10 AMERICAN RACING MOJAVE WHEELS


tires of course i'll go with the same you are considering, except for the 325,60,r20


as for your question, I would have to see a pic of the wheel to make an opinion : ]

if anyone has any other suggestions of a good looking black wheel for some nitto's, let me know, and i'm sure the OP (original poster) would appreciate some as well.

I'm not a huge fan of black wheels, but I like the black Helo Max 6.

yeah, i'm going to put 2.5" autospring on front and add-a-leaf in the back...I have since decided im probally going for the 18" wheels instead, because the price diff is so much.

to post a picture, you can get the address of it by right clicking on the picture and going to properties (if it is on a website)...then, when you type out a message you put..

[img]the address you copied from the picture[/img]

yeah,


I like those a lot, but I'm still not certain about the glossy black look...I like the more teflon coated look like the mojaves

from what i've read on this forum I doubt you could fit those without a leveling kit..but then again i'm not 100% positive...I honestly dont know anyhting about wheel sizes / tire sizes. supposedy depends on backspacing and other misc stuff.

surely someone will come in and correct me if i'm wrong that knows what they are talkin gabout. plenty of well informed people on this board.

Yeah I like the Black Helo Maxx 6's as well and have been giving some serious thought to picking up a set for mine. However, I have never been a fan of the black truck/black rim look, but if any black rim could change my mind it would be the Helo.

mehh I like the helos, but I dont think I would ever get them...the bling factor is too high for me.

I like the more hard looking wheels, but then again I havnt seen the helos on any truck so i really dont knwo what im talking about
