New wheel
So, I finally got the 22s off the other day and put the stocks back on (22s are for sale btw, if you're interested PM me!). Loving the way it drives again. Been running 33s (32.5... something) with 3.55s this whole time and it feels like it too. Got her oomph back. Anyway. Once I get finances in order and do a few other little things first (finish off LED conversion, retrofit projectors, etc), I'm going to be looking for a new round of rims.
I'm not on the up-and-up as far as makes/models of wheels are concerned, plus what kind of tire would be a good match. I know that I like the look of MT Classic IIs/Locks, and their competitive equivalents (American Racing, etc). My girl doesn't really like them, but after perusing the forum here we found a set of Fuel Off-Road (I think that's what they were called) rims in black that were cool... shown on an all white Harley or Lightning I think.
Currently, the truck is not lifted OR cranked at all. I had a bit of rubbing in the front on full lock and after removing the rims, I noticed there was a little in the back too... perhaps from going over bumps as the bed is moving up and down? It is in the plan to do a full-on suspension lift (I'm thinking 4-6"... advice?), not a body lift. I've been told stories of trucks being more unstable with body lifts as opposed to suspension lifts and regardless of whether or not it's more common than I'm led to believe, it's not a risk I am willing to take. I'd rather spend the extra $ on something that I know theoretically won't increase my chances of automotive death.
Note the italics.
So... any advice on what I should be looking into? I do a bit of work for an online company (linked in sig... clicky on picture!) which has access to hundreds of brands and thousands of parts (brakes, rims, intakes, turbo kits, and more), so I'll be getting things cheaper if we carry what I'm looking at getting... I just need some direction. Please and thank you!
And thank y'all for your patience with me over a variety of stuff as of late. I'm still in the learning process and any help is greatly appreciated. I like to think I absorb information quickly and I'm not a complete idiot, but I need to start somewhere. lol
