My leveling kit is complete, just need to get my wheels and tires now. Going to go with the Fuel Assaults, 20x10 with a -18 offset and either Falkens or Coopers in a 33x13.

With that rim offset and tire width, you're going to need fender flares or sling crud all over the sides of the truck.

Definitely not worried about that since I don't go mudding. This truck is for looks only. I would never take a nice truck like this off roading. If I was to go off road and go nuts I'd take some POS that I didn't care about getting damaged.

My truck is a pavement princess and just the little bit of road grime after a rain and it's nasty as hell looking, also if you use any tire shine it will sling all over the sides as well. Unless you can find some that sticks like glue. Which is why I put the fender flares on my truck, I still get some crud but not nearly as much as without. Rocks are another concern, they will inevitably ding the hell out of the paint when they sling out, those offset wheels you are going to use stick out even farther than mine, my wheels are -12 with 11" wide tires.

Falkens aren't even a tire compared to Coopers.........Coopers all day every day over Falkens, its a no brainer.

I have a nice set of cooper snow tires from my 2010 I traded. I only run snow tires Dec - March then pull them off. And only for two winters then onto Craig's list they go. My 2015 has the same size 17" tires. As I see several XLTs on the lot with 18" and 20". So I'm looking for a set of 17" wheels to fit my 17" snows. I'm sure I'll come across a set of factory take offs eventually.

I like the Coopers a lot actually. What's wrong with Falkens? Wear badly?
