Rim Decision Help!
 
Hey all!

Got a 2.5" HBS leveling kit along with some 325/60/18 terra grapplers
I am having a tough decision on the rims, I want something that sticks out past the fenders to give it a beefy look.
I've got a Srew FX4 in black so you have an idea

I had the XD Diesel (black 18x9) as a first choice, but only has 5" b.s. but am unsure to if they would stick out past the fenders?

Next are the 18x9 Moto Metal 951 Chrome: I am actually leaning more towards this rim

Then the pro-comp rims

or

please give some input:thumbup:

stock backspacing is 5.5 inches, 17/18's are 7.5 wide, 20's are 8.5 wide...

i would go with the moto metal 951's personally, one of the sharpest wheels out there and looks good on everyhing

Ive always been a fan of black on black. However I like the look of the diesels...can't go wrong IMO. I'd black it all out.

That was my original plan. But i might just get the chrome rims, then blackout all the lights anyway:thumbup: Can anyone chime in as to whether these would stick out or be flush under the fenders? (im talking about the diesels here)

the moto's are good quality, i had the 954's on my f150 last year....they would stick out 1.5 inches further than your current setup

Thanks for the advice. Ill probably end up picking them up soon and having everything mounted and installed. Sure are pricey at 270 ish a rim from 4wheel parts
