Default Lightning Wheels??

Hey guys I've got a 02 FX4 with some factory 17's and just got a hell of a deal on some brand new Nitto Mud Grapplers in a 35x12.50x18 ($400) and am in need of some 18's. i have heard the i can fit the 35 on stock wheels and minimul lift but if i go aftermarket, I'll have to lift a little more because of offset and what not. My question is, can I use a set of 00-01 Lightning wheels since they are 18's and have the same results as my stock FX4 wheels? Thanks.

They should be the same and they'd look sweet with the nitto's. But you can get some wheels in the same backspacing as stock, mine are only a little wider than stock.

those are the best looking lightning wheels, but I think they are wider than the stock 7.5" fx4s? I have no idea what the width or backspacing is on them, but I know another member on here had them on his lifted 2wd with some 35s on them

Yep they look pretty sweet, I might have run them if I didn't have to have 17's

So I'm guessing they will be the same lol. I'd love them 03's but got a guy locally selling some 00's for $200.
