I think i have finally made up my mind for my wheel and tires. Going with Cooper Discoverer SST. I've had Coopers in the past and anything after has sucked in comparison. If only I still got the 40% discount on Cooper Tires through work. As much as I would like the 35's I think I'm going 33's per Wandell's advice that i will rub with only Bilstien 5100's. He appears to be the go to guy here.
Question is, i have decided on AR Thug series 3991 20x10. http://www.americanracing.com/browse_all.asp
Do I want the -25 offset 4 1/2 backside or 0 offset 5 1/2 backside?
Does it matter?
Thanks

 

I asked Wandell about backspacing on a 20x10 wheel and he suggested that it would be better to get a wheel with 5 1/2 of BS instead of 4 1/2 or 4 3/4.

 

Yep.

 

my friend has the cooper stt on his leveled 05 they are 35s on stock wheels. sick looking tire

 

ive been running the cooper discoverer stt for years...two sets on my current f150 (first 285/70/17; now 33x12.50x17) and two sets on my former toyota tacoma in 31x10.50x15 (first set was the old style stt, the second set was the new style right when it came on the market)...they give me great mileage as long as you keep them rotated, and i get traction pretty much anywhere i can go...i couldnt be any happier, by far one of the best tires on the market in my opinion (in stark contrast to a lot of the trash people talk about cooper tires)...just felt like sharing..awesome choice on tires!
