Ordered a 2" AS, should be here this week or first of next.
Anyway I want to get my tires/wheels narrowed down.

What size wheel do you guys recommend going with, 18 or 20.
Stock rims are 18s. My plan is to keep the stockers for winter driving.

What are the pros/cons with going with the 20 vs 18 wheel?
What kind of backspacing should I be looking for on the wheels.

 

I'd go with a 18x9 wheel with 5.5 to 6 inches of backspace, maybe a 305x65 or a 325x60 to put on them. Just my 2 cent's.

 

i went from 18 with325-60-18 to 20x9 plus25mm offset. with305-55-20 i like the 20 better bcause it more wheel looks rugged[IMG][/IMG]

 

Holy bat crap..your trucks a 07 and youve already changed wheels/tires twice!!!

 

na tires once on factory i got talked into them..325-60-18...then i looked at wheels seen how cheao they were and did that, ididnt like the factory wheels anyway. i got 450 out of my factory tires. now i am done... igot over the truck bug finally!!!!!!![IMG][/IMG]

 

I agree with PawPaw. I just personally like the look of 33's better on 18's.

 

Looks good, are those nittos?
What leveling kit did you go with?

 

my dad likes the taller tire more sidewall he has an stx with a 2.5 level kit and 37x12.5 bfg all terrain.....yes 37x12.5 he is a truck driver so a soft ride is important he says they dont rub im not a beleiver[IMG][/IMG]

 

cooper zeon i went with the skyjacker 2 inch kit very easy to install my dad went with the daystar2.5 it was a pain u have to compress the springs and all that[IMG][/IMG]

 

Right now im looking at either the Toyos OC or the Nitto TG.

Toyo MTs look interesting, but I dont off road any.

I like the looks of some members trucks with the 305/55/20.

What tire size is equivalent to that in a 18 wheel

 

305-60-18-is close has .6 sidewall taller all the way around so 1/4 on top 1/4 on bottom .8 shorter 325 60 18 same height little wider...[IMG][/IMG]
