Default Moto Metal Wheels

Hello:

I am interested in getting some new wheels for my truck which is a 2006 XLT 4X4 with 18" rims. Specifically the Moto Metal 951 Black wheels.
Can someone help me out, I am not sure on what is the proper lug sizing/spacing for these wheels that I should get? I want to keep the same size wheel.


Thanks

what tires are you gonna use? they only come in 18x9, they have 2 to chose from, 1 that will stick out and what that will tuck in. your lug pattern is 6x135

want them to stick out ?

if you want a wider stance, get the ones with the -12 offset, 4.53" backspacing

if you want them to tuck inside the fenders like stock, +18 offset, 5.71" backspace

Thanks, I think I am going to go with the Moto Metal 951 Black 18x9 6/135 with the +18mm and 5.71 backspace, I want to have it simalar to stock. I like the Trxus M/T tires 35x12.50 would these be a good tire with the wheels I want and a 2.0" leveling kit?

Thanks

interco's does last long, more of a offroad brand tire, i've have thornbirds and boggers in the past, looked great, wore like crap. i would go with the toyo muds personally of the ones you listed.

thornbirds are intercos worse nightmare. they look good but that's it..

the boggers are a mud only tire and will wear very fast if used on pavment.. the SSR and radial iroks are good longer lasting tires..

the truxus are a softer compound so with maintained pressure and rotations they can last 40,000 miles..
