Hey guys, since i have been looking at wheels the past couple of days i have found some i really love.

18x9 matte black Moto Metal 957 wheels.
6x135
-12mm offset
4.5" backspacing

Set of four brand new in boxes for $560, plus $80 for UPS shipping. Chrome wheel locks and lug nuts an additional $25.

Do you guys think this is a good deal?
And what size tire would i buy for these?

 

Look at this website. I ordered my Moto Metals from them and if you order just wheels the shipping is free unless you get a wheel/tire combo. They had the best deal I could find. Talk to Jim thats who I did my business with. Very professional group for over the phone business. Would highly reccomend!!

 

Hey thanks man, they ended up being $6.60 cheaper through that site you gave me. Granted its not much, but its still cheaper which is always a plus. And the place i saw them first was on Ebay, which to be honest always sketches me out a bit.

Thanks

 

Yeah the more i look at these wheels the more i love them. These are the ones for me. I'll be ordering these very soon.

Well i now i need to focus on different size tires all together, no more 70/17's. So how about 285/65/18 or 305/65/18, will these size tires and that wheel fit on my truck?

285 would be 33"
305 would be 34"
325 would be 35"..........correct?

 

yeah that all looks correct. I think you would be pushin it with the 305 and 325 because of the back spacing of the wheel. You could run a 305 or 325 if you could find that wheel in a diff backspacing. I have 5.71 bs with 35x12.50 toyos with 2.5AS and had to do some cutting in the fenderwell. Do you have a leveling kit or anything?

 

I think you would be safe with the 33's though.

 

I Dont have a leveling kit, but i do plan on getting one at the same time i get the tires and wheels. To bad the 305's wont fit, i figured maybe they might, but i guess i could look for another wheel. All though i'll probably just go with 33's if i have to because i really like that wheel.

 

Ok, so if the 305/65/18's wont fit on my truck with a leveling kit, and with the moto metal 957's with 4.5" backspacing. Where would i find these same wheels with a different backspacing?


Edit: Nevermind, i just called the place i was looking to buy the wheels. They told me those 957's will probably stick out way to much for my truck with the -12 offset, and are meant more for trucks with lift kits. I guess the 957's are only made in that one size. They told me i'd be better off finding a wheel with a +30 or +18 offset.

 

Sorry for posting up a storm guys, i'm scrambling because i want to pick something this weekend. So the moto metal 957's with the 4.5 might be out of the question if they stick out so much. I dont mind if they'd stick out a little though.

But i noticed the 951's come in a 18x9 with a +18 offset 5.71 backspace, and a +30 offset 6.18 backspace. Which one of those wheels could i fit some 305/65/18's, 325/65/18's, or 325/60/18's.....if any?
