Default Help picking aftermarket wheels

Been thinking about buying some aftermarket wheels for my 04 but i seem to be picky. Ive seen many styles that i like but not sure what they would look like on my truck. Anyone willing to post some pics of theres to help me out?? I def want black offroad style wheels either 18s or 20s (leaning towards 20s) but not sure, with 35 or 36 inch muds. Im not a big fan of the kmcs or motos even though they look really good i seem to see them every where. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Appears you just have a level, to clear 35s, you will need a positive offset. +35 would be ideal with a nine inch wide wheel or +18 with minor plastic trim required. Not sure where you got the idea of 36s, but they are not too common and 35s just barely fit with just a level.

I am able to clear 35's with a 2.5" level. It rubs a lot but I had to trim it a little bit and so did the shop that installed them. I have the -12 offset. So you could defiantly clear the +18 with minor to no problems at all. I personally wanted them tires sticking out the side not tucked up under. I also have a 9 inch wide wheel to so that helps. Other than the little rubbing they have, I love them and love the look of them.

Your correct all i have is a 3 inch level and i have some 35s on it now with the stock wheels. I didnt have to trim anything and only rubs a little at full lock on the uca and lca. Been looking at some lifts and if i lift it at all i want more tire thats where i was getting 36s from.

Probably a common rim but I gotta say they look sweet on the truck! XD Monsters, mine are 18x9" -12 offset and running 34s.

Common indeed but your right makes the truck look badass! I'm running a 2.5 level with 20x9 monsters +18 offset and 35 nitto trails. Had to do minor trimming on the lower valence and lower part of the fender flare. Sticks out just enough for me.

And he doesn't rub much? How far can he turn the wheels. I have seen one guy on here with level, 3 inch body and 37s. Not too common, but whatever floats your boat.
