Hey guys, my supercab just got a clean bill of health from the mechanic, so ive decided to keep it since i can play with it a lot cheaper than making payments on a new truck would be.

Im fairly certain i will be going with the fabtech 7.5 suspension lift on my 2wd.
Im thinking 20x10 wheels on 35's. I was back and forth on 18s but i think if i get them i will be pissed i didn't get the 20s.

This said, im having a little bit of trouble picking out the rims.

Ive seen the helo max 6 and i know that they fit and aren't too expensive, but im not necessarily in love with them. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Im a bit partial to the deep dish look (10' wide after all).

I appreciate any help, im just trying to get everything squared away before i drop all this jack!

 

Keep in mind the Fabtech lift will widen the front track width of your 4x2 so a 10 inch wide wheel will stick way outside the fenders if it has the normal 4.5 inch backspacing. THis is why most people with lifted 4x2's go with an 8 inch wide wheel.

 

will the 10' wide look stupid?

to be honest, if i do 8 i obviously have drastically more wheel choices to pick from, but i see a lot of guys on here on 10' wide, that black 2wd with the fabtech and the bodylift on 37's is running 20x10. another guy is running the helos in 20x10.

I was thinking the 325/60/20, what size would i need on 20x9 or 20x8? are 20s on 35s going to look like rubber bands? i want to definitely keep some meat, but 20s aren't even big on our trucks anymore, and budget permits getting what i want the first time/doing it right.

 

actually, instead, what size tire goes on a 20x8.5 additionally? there are lots more options it seems in this size.

 

I wouldn't say 10's will look stupid, but I didn't want you to be surprised by how far they stuck out. 35's and 20 inch wheels look fine in my opinion. You should be able to use a 12.50 (305mm) to a 13.50 inch wide tire on an 8.5 inch wheel.

 

wandell,

what does that come out to in metric?

 

LOL, sorry, had to laugh.... "help me pick my package"....lolol

Highjack over.

 

lol, i guess it does sound funny, im a newb to raised suspensions and its harder to figure out what stuff will look like when you are changing everything all at once!

 

I too was struggling with 18s or 20s. I decided to go the 20 route. I think as long as you have 35s or bigger, the 20s look great, and really add pop to the truck.

 

A 325/60-20 works out to be a 35x13.00-20 tire.

 

thats what i was thinking for 20x10s, so it should fit for anything from 8.5-10 wide? I really appreciate the help, screwing this up would cost me a lot of money...

 

yeah, im set on the 20s, they are a lot more reasonable these days. I feel like i really want to go wide though, but there are tons more rims in the 8.5 wide class.

sambandit, what wheels did you decide on?

 

for tires im looking at these kumho road venture ATs. 1k for the set in 325/60/20...pretty reasonable.

 

I am getting Moto Metal 951s in the 20x10 size and probably going to run a 35x13.50 tire.

 

Last thing before i order

these are the specs on the wheel ive picked out with the Kumho ATs

20x8.5 Chrome 5 on 135mm Acorn +14 mm 5.264


Any problems with this size with the lift?
