Ok, here it goes. I have an '06 Scab 4x4 leveled and im currently running these specific wheels, and i like the stance that it gives me (check gallery for pics). I want to keep it close to the same stance

I am looking to move up to a 18" wheel in either the new Moto Metals 957. Here are the specs on these:
Size: 18 x 9
Bolt Circle: 6x135mm (6x5.31")
Offset: -12mm

Or the the XD Monsters and the specs:
1.
Size: 18 x 9
Bolt Circle: 6x135/6x139.7
Offset: -12
Backside Setting: 4.53
2.
Size: 18 x 9
Bolt Circle: 6x135/6x139.7
Offset: +18
Backside Setting: 5.71

I know several people are running the monsters, but none have posted their BS. Just looking for a definite answer. TIA.

 

If those XD Monsters have that "Multifit" bolt spacing where the bolt holes are actually slots, I would avoid them like a date with Janet Reno. You are setting yourself up for some ugly troubles...

 

I don't think they do, but I could be wrong. I'd go with the one's with 5.71 inches of bs.

 

I have the 4.5 inch backspace. Check out my pics to get an idea of stance. And the 5.7 is going to be tucked in more like stock

 

I gotcha. I didn't think XD did that. I just remember the old Cragar SS mags from the 70's and 80's with those goofy slots. Those things caused some wicked vibrations...

As far as BS goes. I've got 285/70R17s with 17x9 4.75" backspacing. The wheel / tire do stick out a bit, but I have plenty of room for the tire to move... I am quite comfortable going with 305/70s on this setup. I would like to go with 35x12.50s, but don't think it will work without cutting metal...

 

oh yeah, gonna go with 325/60/18 nitto Tg. dont know if that would make any difference with tha BS Wandell?

 

If you use the one's with 4.5 inche of bs you may have to do some minor trimming.

 

well just wanted to say thank you to all who chimed in. i went ahead and ordered the ones with +18 offset (5.71 BS) today along with some 325/60/18 NItto TG's. hopefully they will be here end of the week or early next.
