What is up brethren?! I'm having trouble deciding what set up I want to go with, wheel-wise. I'm looking for an aggressive stance (more than 1" past my fender). The wheels I've been told to look at in packages are a 17x8 with a -13mm offset, and then anything x9" with a 0 offset to a -12 offset will put me at an inch and a half to 2" outside of my wheel well, and is black/machine-faced or chrome. What do you all suggest?

I'm finally getting some bills paid off, so my mods will be coming soon. I just want to have a pretty good idea what I want, and have y research done. That way I can just pull the trigger. Thanks in advance!

 

Check out customwhheloffset.com. There are tons of pics with each set up as far as size, and offset given on each one. Good luck, I've been staring at offsets and sizes for 2 week and am barely making up my mind.

 

Hahaha same here! I've been on the site for a while. But I can't make up my mind. And on the site it looks like some 18x9 +0 are sticking out a good 2.5" from the fender, while others are only .5-1" from the fender.

That's why I started the thread.

 

Custom Offsets is probably your best bet for finding an affordable wheel and tire package so kep up the searching. Does your truck have the OEM fender flares on it? Some of the trucks on their website have them and appear to not have the same stance as another truck with the same offset. Personally I say you go with a -12 or -18 and call it a day. A 0 offset will be nice but you will always catch yourself looking at it wishing you had gone wider. It happened to me so I'm speaking from experience.

 

Thanks, man! I actually have had Mr. Wheel Deal and BB Wheels online beat Custom Offsets on the regular. I use CO to do the research. I actually don't have flares. Just my regular fender. I'm thinking you're right about the -12, though. I just want to make sure that they'll fit with the set up.

I'm either looking at Ranchos or Pro Comps to level it out. A buddy of mine bought Billies for his truck, noticed the tack welds, and took them to his friend who's a welder. Welder said that the weld on the bilstein was a piece of ****. So I'm staying away from them.

The pro comps are $389 for all 4 corners, and the Ranchos are $400 for 2. Pro Comp seems a bit more in my budget.

 

I havent seen a lot of guys running procomp levels on here or I'm just ignorant and choose not to acknowlege them. I prefer the Rancho myself because of adjustability and ride quality. However many have said that the Bilstein's are even better. I dont know what happened with your friends set but that is literally the first time I have ever heard a gripe about a bilstein shock.

 

I guess the weld is a concern from people, but that's about it. I've always wanted the Rancho, but they're just too damn expensive. There's was a dude on here selling his for $250. But at the time I couldn't (and still can't) afford them. Once I build up some fundage I'll purchase the struts and shocks. And hopefully my wheel/tire package at the same time.

 

Also, you're thinking I should go with a 9" wheel and stay away from the 8"?

 

Ttt

 

Any luck on your wheel decision? I've got sterling gray, so anything will go with it. I want to stick with black and machine faced. Certain black rims will POSSIBLY please the wife (I'm including her in the process of decision making... stance and size are my decision). She loves black and machine faced, and likes certain chrome wheels.
