Another quality, speedy reply! Thanks! I checked out the site. You're right about the prices, especially on tires.

What size rims/tires & suspension setup are you running in that pic? I love the way everything looks, it's the type of setup that i'm looking to do to my truck.

35x12.50-20 pro comp extreme at's
20x10 moto metal 954's with a 4 5/8" backspace
4" rancho suspension with RS5000 shocks

Now you've got me thinking that I shouldn't even bother wasting time installing my HBS leveling kit, that I should just go straight to the lift kit.

How big of a wheel/tire size can I possibly go with, with my current setup? (05 Screw, HBS leveling)

P.S. Sorry for the thread jacking folks.

35's with the right wheels. if you like how my setup was then 33's on 20x10's would fit with minor trimming

Atom, I hate to keep asking but I'm going to purchase today. Salesman says I'm ok but you seem to know what you're talking about so I'd just like to ask your expert opinion once more with the exact specs.

I want to purchse the moto metal 951 chrome 18x9 bs=6.18 offset=30mm
nitto terra grappler 325/60R18

My 09 xlt is stock. I understand the backspace side now and I've calculated the tires may stick out from the wheel wells about .82" my concern now is inside the wheel well. UCA, shroud, valance etc. With that deep of a backspace am I going to rub the UCA or any other suspension parts? I'm not really worried about trimming the plastics if I need to just the suspension has got me nervous.


Or... should I go with the 18x9 bs=5.71 offset=18 instead? That should stick out about 1.29" and would probably eliminate the suspension worries.

i have never dealt with an 09, but i know a couple guys who run that on 04-08's style which no problems...what you is measure it out to be safe....i can really see any issues, the only thing i would see for sure is have to trim the corner of the valance, but that's just plastic....your leveling it correct?

on a side note I have had great luck with the moto metal rims but be aware that them or any other chrome wheels will pit if not token care of and have had some peeling chrome... many guys that are very **** about cleanliness still have had issues.. just to be aware..great rims but i switched to black powder coated when i was having peeling chrome and pitting issues.

I was planning on leveling in the future but I wanted to put the new rims/tires on first.

I just spoke to someone at rimzoneonline.com and also someone from discounttire.com they both said that setup would work with the 5.71 backspace, If I wanted the 6.18 it would have to be leveled.

Thanks again for your help.
