The Spy's would look great. Hope you have good luck being able to buy them without hassles. Seems like I heard somewhere that they are having center cap problems (ie holes on caps don't match the holes drilled on wheels). They probably have that fixed, just make sure you can return them if you run into problems.

For anybody still following me on this....looks like the spy is unavailable. I have a few more choices now

American Racing ATX:



MotoMetal 958:



Or..a Diamo wheel:


on


Keep bringing the opinions!!! I'm liking the ATX wheel myself although the backspacing is really low....not sure how it will fit.

Dude you got almost the exact look I'm going for. What size tires and rims are those.....in mm terms if possible? 325/60's?

He's got 20x9 XD Hoss for wheels (I really like). As for the tires, I'm pretty sure they're 305/55/20 Terra Grapps. They stick out a bit due to the -12 OS.

About your new choice in wheels, it's funny you're looking at the Diamos because I'm selling the set I took off mine. Although my truck is white unlike yours, this still may give you some sort of idea on what they look like on our NBS Scabs. Only difference is I've got the 8 spoke.

Pictures are of 18's on 35's. 18x10, -12 OS, 5" BS.

Everything I look at that looks really good to me usually has a 35" + tire and suspension lift. Not trying to go that big right now really. I'm hoping I can get an aggressive look with an 18 x 9 on a 305/60...with a 2" leveling kit only. Bout to roll the dice and just see what happens.

Thanks so much for the input.

Just for your info those Moto Metals are actually 951's not 958's. All of the wheels you have looked at would fit your truck well..... especially in chrome. If you're set on the Terra Grapplers get some 325/60/18's. They will fit/look great with your leveling kit and wheel specs.

I've been going back and forth b/w the 305/60 and 325/60. Not sure which one I'll go with yet. I have the rest of today to decide. I'm ordering everything tomorrow.

I have another question if anyone is still willing to help. My plan was to go with a 2" Readylift leveling kit which is really just a spacer. Any feedback on those kits?? Should I go with something different or maybe add some new shocks? When all is said and done, I'd like to still have a decent ride.
