Request Sizing Help

Hey guys, I'm looking at getting some rims that are:

Size: 18x9
Bolt Pattern: 6x135
Offset: 10
Backspace: 5.39"

I'd like to match them up with the 305/65/18 BGF TA/KOs.

I'm running a 2" AS leveling kit on an FX4. Think I'll run into any issues?

TIA,
- NCSU

No issues other than you and your friends will keep admiring how good the truck will look. You should not have any problems with that setup!

It'll be close, but that combo should fit. Those wheels will stick out about 1 1/2 inches farther than your oem wheels.

MKW Offroad - M28

Would going with a 17x8.5 wheel with 0 offset and BS of 4.75" paired up with the BFG TA/KOs at 315/70/17 make it any better or worse?

You need a 17x8 with a 5 1/2" BS to run the 315's without rubbing.

Stick with a wheel with about 5 to 6inches of bs.

So y'all are saying the 17s will make the fit worse? That I'd be better off sticking with the

Size: 18x9
Bolt Pattern: 6x135
Offset: 10
Backspace: 5.39"

matched up with the 305/65/18 BGF TA/KOs right?

Still, I'd like to know just how tight of a fit it would be.

Thanks,

You will be better off with the 18's because of the wheel's backspacing, and the 305/65-18 tire is slightly smaller (about and inch shorter).

Thanks again guys!

I bit the bullet and ordered the MK28's in black and a set of 305/65/18 BFG TA/KO's. Everything should be here in a week or so....
