Newbie to the forums and hoping to get some advice on how to make my truck look better with the aftermarket wheels.
I bought the truck last year and was really eager to not have it look stock so I threw on some 12 offset Fuel Trophy Wheels with BFG Tires. The problem is that they are only the 9.5" rims and honestly the tires look all tall and skinny and doesn't have much of an aggressive look. It was basically what Discount Tire told me they could get right away and I didn't even think about the width like an idiot.. I've been thinking about getting some spacers maybe to push them out a bit or maybe do a lift with bigger/wider tires if possible.
Trying to not spend a grip of dough either but sure would want this truck looking better...
Spacers should help big time and keep the costs down. Its hard to tell but it looks like the wheels sink so getting them flush or just a touch past the fenders will look more aggressive imo.

Agreed. You think 1.5 would do the trick? Sounds like Bora is the only way to go..
Not necessarily, I'm running 1.5" Fred Goeske Spacers. I was going to purchase Bora but a set of FG spacers came up at the same time so I went with those. I would probably suggest Fred Goeske if you do any towing, but even if you do, I'm sure the Boras would be fine.
You need to measure how much space you need. Take a tape measure and lock it out to about 5" or so, now grab your level and hold it up vertically against your fender and once its level measure from the level to your tire to see how much space you have. Figure out how you want the tire to sit and then order from there. The reason why guys run thicker in back is because the back sits in about 1/4" more so you'll need a thicker spacer to get the tire to sit the same as the front. Measure front and back and keep in mind that unless your wheels have pockets in the back of the rim you will need at least an 1.5" to clear the OEM studs.

Fred's like the originator. Nobody makes better spacers than his company. They were first engineered to work on several-thousand-hp drag cars
I bought a set of spacers from him for my dually(lifted it, and needed 'em to split the rear wheels so the 35's wouldn't rub together), and placed the order with him directly.
He was a righteous dude :-)
Wheel spacers maybe?
