What Do U Think?

I Have A 05 Fx4 Supercab With Stock 18" Wheels

I Am 95% Sure I Am Getting:
1) Bfg 305/65/18
2) Diamo Di 17 18x10 (chrome)
3) 2.5" Leveling Kit

I Can Get A Price Of $2500 For All 3 Including Shipping From 4wheelparts.com.

I Have A Few Questions:
1) Is This A Good Deal?
2) Should I Go With A 2.5" Leveling Kit Or A 2"?
3) Will This Setup Fit Without Rubbing?

I Would Greatly Appreciate Feedback For I Am Close To Pulling The Trigger And Need Info Before Going Forward. Thanks.

I'd get the 2" AS for a little less stress on your ball joints, etc. Rubbing with 10" rims will depend on backspacing. I'd go with a 8.5"-9" rim if it were me.

I agree with shopping around for a little better price as well.

i dig your wheels, TonkaTruck.

I really want to put a 10 inch wheel on but i don't want to have to sacrifice too much just to make it work

the diamo wheel has an offset of -12mm and backspacing of 5.03 inches

please advise of whether to go with 10's or should i go with 9's

theres a member here that has the 18x10 mazzi hulks on 325/60/18 Nitto a/t with very min rubbing. i dont see why the your Bfg 305/65/18 would rub.

sounds good

My roommate is in an offroad club and he believes that this setup will work too, but may have to shave off some wheel well and valance.

so, do i go with a 2" lift or 2.5"?

I hear that if you have the 2.5" it will be level, but when weight is added to the back it will look awkward. I want to be level as well as having enough room for the tires, but not look stupid when weight is added in the back. I could just be overreacting.

A 10 inch wide wheel with 5.03 inches of BS is gonna stick out about 3 inches farther than the OEM wheels.
