Default 18" Fuel Octane or XD Monster???

Going to be getting some new wheels and tires for my 2010 FX4 Screw. I am torn between the Fuel Octane and the XD Monster wheels. Going to put 295/70R18 Trail Grapplers and a 2" level on my truck. Here is a pic of the truck as it sits today. Need opinions!!!!

I think the Monster's are better looking than the Octanes, however the Monster's are fairly overdone. Have you looked at the other Fuel wheels? I have Throttle's on mine and love it. I HIGHLY recommend 20s but to each their own. It'll look good either way, but my vote goes to the Fuel Hostage or Fuel Throttle. Nice looking truck! I like the clean look.

My choice would be the octanes, a better looking wheel in my opinion.

Thanks guys! I am also torn on 18's or 20's. I like the bigger tire look of the 18's, and the price. But 20's look sick as well. Little more modern 4x4 look.

Oh, and does anyone know what back spacing and offset I will need? I do not want them sticking out to far, maybe just an inch or less. Thanks!!!

Get ahold of Jason Korson at Signature Performance Wheel & Tire jason@signatureptw.com is his email, he'll set you up with a whole variety of options to choose from, and will ensure that you get the right backspacing and offset for the look you are going for. Absolutely great to deal with. He sent me 15-20 emails responding to questions I had about various wheel styles/sizes/etc, I highly recommend this guy. Good prices and fast shipping as well.
