What dimensions and offset are stock 16" wheels

BrowningSCrew

Probably like a 16x8 or 16x7.5 with 0 offset. You'll want a 16x9 with a negative offset to gain some stance.

Well since my trucks a 2wd I'm thinking about giving it more if a sport truck kind of look with some 16-18 inch rims and probably get the truck leveled to what the front is. It will still get used as a truck, just a little lower with some sportier style rims.

Nothing wrong with that

Nope. I love the idea personally. I want to go with some black rims though that almost have a beadlock look to them, with an aggressive look like with Offroad rims, but some that will also look good on street tires. I like some of the fuels and I saw one or two from American racing that I liked.

Got my exhaust all put together in one place, going to get dropped off today.


I had half a can of VHT Header paint leftover from a previous build so I figured it couldnt hurt.
Next work to be done: new battery terminals, the big 3, then rocker panels. Down the road I'm thinking about cranking the t-bars, getting some wheel spacers, and when I need to get some new rubber I'm looking at 285/70r17 Goodyear DuraTracs.

Wha exactly is the big 3?

NVRDONE

You upgrade these main wires to a larger gauge than OE:
Battery (+) to alternator power wire
Battery (-) to ground
Engine block to ground

I'm going to 2 gauge wire considering I dont have a massive sound system, a huge winch, On Board Air, or other power hogs.

Excellent writeup here:

I went with 0 gauge and am very happy with it. I just have some HIDS in my aux lights and a system but now my lights dont dim no matter what im doing.

Now someone tells me after I already bought terminals with a 2ga. opening. What do you think the chances of 0 gauge squeezing in there are?
