Hey,
07 SCREW Fx4
I've been reading over this stuff for a while and I just want to make sure i am making the right decisions before i dive in...


Wheels I'm considering.
http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Brand

The listed info may be throwing me off. Is the -12mm of b.s. really in mm? This is where i am getting confused.
18x9
Offset: -12mm Bolt Pattern: 6-135
Rec. Tire Size: 275/65-18

Tires are the
325/60r18 Nitto Terra Grapplers

Getting a 2.5AS level kit.

Questions:
Will this be a problem with rubbing?
Is the backspacing on this wheel be 7.5 in?
tried figuring this using Offset= backspace - (rim width/2)
Is this as big of setup that I should consider with 2.5 level?
Is there anything else i am not considering that i need to be thinking of?
What it a rough estimate of what I should be looking at paying for this setup? (wheels and tires)

Thanks for all your help,

 

as far as the wheels go. The website shows it having a 4.5 in backspace. The -12mm is the offset, which it is the distance from the centerline of the wheel. Those wheels are made by American Racing:

I'm not sure on the rub but I don't think so from what I have read, but I'm sure others will chime in.

 

that set up is going to stick out about 3.5'' further than stock....that is quite a bit.........check out codewhitefield, he just posted and got new tires and rims, same size tires and rims, his rims have 5'' bs and he had to do some trimming. i think you would want around 5-5.5'' bs

 

I don't think you will like wheels with that much backspacing. They are going to stick way out.

 

i agree.

 

I agree. I'd want a 9 inch wide wheel with 5 to 6 inches of bs.

 

Thanks for the help. Anyone have any ideas of wheels that look similar to those with a mix of black and chrome?

I also want to make sure that I will have no trouble with the 35's and a 2.5 AS.

Also wondering if what the average price difference is between the nitto tg, procomp, and toyo AT's are if anyone happens to know.

Thanks for all the help.

 

I'd stick with a 33 inch tire. As for wheels, check out 4Wheel Parts site for the Pro Comp and KMC wheels.

 

Is the reason for the 33's a personal preferance? I haven't formed an opinion and respect yours, so I would like to know your reasoning.
Is there problems with the 35's?

 

yeah as a general rule 35's will only fit on a leveled 4x4 with stock rims. However, pawpaw has figured out how to get them on with 8'' wide rims and the right bs...

 

Right. To fit 35's, you will have to find a wheel with specs almost identical to the OEM wheel. (7.5 inches wide with 5.5 inches of bs).
