I'm looking for help in finding the best wheel sizing for my application. Basically looking for offset and backspacing info.

What would be the best size wheel for a 2005 4x4 with a 2" front shock lift and using 305/65/18 BFG AT's? I would really like to stay inside of the factory wheel wells since I'm not a fan of wheels that extend past the fender flares?

I have the oem 18" chrome lariat wheels and I just bought a set of BFG AT's 305/65/18 and installed a set of Bilstein 5100 2" adjustable shocks.

Thanks

 

Forgot to add that when I went to have the new tires mounted I discovered that one of my wheels has a crack in the inside lip, so... I'm working on getting a set of after market wheels.

Any brands I should avoid due to poor quality, construction, etc.?

 

you need wheels close to the factory specs, which i think is 18x7.5 with 5.5 of back space

 

An 8" wheel with 5 1/2 inches of BS, or a 8 1/2 inch wide wheel with close to 6 inches of BS would bring you out only 1/2" more than stock. These would keep the tires inside of the wheelwells and give you more clearance in the front. I had to use 8" wide wheels with 5 1/2 inches of backspacing for my tires not to rub in the front. Same rule applies to 17 and 18" wheels.

 

I agree.
