Default Rims

Need new tires and I wanna go ahead and get new rims while I'm at it. I have 17s. I want bigger but I don't wanna look to "G." any suggestions? Size and/or rims? I want mainly black rims.

18 or 20. You can never go wrong with 20. They aren't too getto depending on the type rim you get. 18 look nice too

If you go off road, 18's would be better, more sidewall for the tire to flex, and cheaper tires.

18's for sure, just got the G-FX OR9's from DiscountTireDirect for 129 each, usually 223 each. Here is a link-

http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/wheels/g-fx/product/submitProductSize.do?pc=23341&tmn=OR9&typ=Truck

They are 18x8.5 and from what they told me of the backspacing should be able to run 35x12.50 tires on a stock 4x4 or 33x12.50 on a stock 2wd truck.

These rims are matte black, and they can sell you a set of black locking lugnuts as well.

They also offer these for 199 as matte black 20's or somewhere in the 160's for a chrome 20 with black lip.

I feel like those would let better on a car, but who knows. You should post a pic when you get em!

I definitely will, they should ship first thing Monday, for the price I couldn't really beat them, especially since it would have cost me about 100each to powdercoat the rims my truck came with(the chrome is flaking bad from salt up north and not being washed after multiple mudding experiences).

They wont look amazing cause I will be mounting my stock tires, but I'm sure if i can get some 35x12.50r18s on em they would look even better...I will be sure to post up some pics for you guys!

I was looking at some very similar. I'm gonna do the combo so I may have to do the 33s! That's what was on my 90 f150 on stock suspension and rims.

I think I've got 31's stock (275/65/r18) and they have a lot of tread life left, as soon as I need new tires I really want to see the truck with 35's. IMO DiscountTireDirect is a great place to buy from, if you order from them do so over the phone, they can negotiate the price a bit over the phone.
