American Racing Slider or Atlas?
Hi
Just wanted some opinions of some wheels. I have done a lot of searching and I have my choices narrowed down to two styles...the Atlas and the Slider.
Anyone have opinions they would like to offer?
Also I have been searching online for places to buy wheels, just so I can get an idea of ordering price vs price at a local tire/wheel place here in Omaha....
My second question is what is the stock wheel size for my truck...I know that they are 17in wheels, but are they 17x8 with 5x135 lugs. I am a little confused with all the wheel numbers....I have never purchased wheels before. What does the Offset number mean, for example the Slider is 0mm while the Atlas is -0.05 mm.
I currently have Goodyear Wrangler AT's (P265/70R17)and would not get new tires.....they are only about 2 months old.
Thanks in advance

A place by my house in San Diego will do the nitro chrome for 175 a piece and the polished for 140 a piece. Not that much of a difference so I'm going to def go chrome, and some of the online places were going 220 for chrome and like200 for polished, so its just a matter of finding the good deal, the place is called Evans Tires if anyone is interested.

How far will it stick out?
