I Need some major help

Guys, I am very ignorant when it comes to vehicles, so I am hoping some of you will help me out without ripping me in the process. I have a 2006 King Ranch 4X4 with the 20 stock OEM wheels and Pirelli ATR tires. I would like to put a new wheel on the truck and keep the Pirelli's that the truck came with. I am absolutely clueless as to what will fit on my truck, and where to go to find this information. I do know that I do not want to put any type of lift or levelling kit to accomodate these new wheels. I really appreciate any help you guys can provide, its helped in the following mods: (Airaid Cold-Air Intake, Borla Exhaust, Access roll-up Tonneau Cover).

You should be fine with an 8 to 9 inch wide wheel with 5.5 or 6 inches of backspacing. I believe the OEM 20's are 8.5 inches wide with 5.5 inches of backspacing.

Wandell, Thanks for replying, I was hoping you would offer some help as you seem to know alot about wheels. I am looking at the Moto Metal Custom M0951 wheel. I assume that I would need to get the 20X9? It says that it offers -18 to +30 offset. What does that mean? And what should I be looking for? Again, I am sorry I am so ignorant about this subject.

Go with the 30mm offset, that gives you about 6" of backspace which will put you close to stock.

I love the look of your wheels and tires. Although I really do not want to spend the money, I might actually go with the exact same setup you have on your truck. I have a white/tan 2006 King Ranch that I think that would look great on.

Check out RIM-ZONE, they are an ebay store, along with TOMZWHEELS. They'll get you a good price. They are classy looking aren't they?

They look awesome, Did you go with +30 offset on yours? I will check out EBAY and see what I can come up with. Thanks for the help.

Yup! +30. Since you have a 4x4, if you put on a leveling kit, you can fit 305/55/20's (33x12.50) easy. Mine are 305/50's (32x12.50).

Need More help!

Alright I ordered the 305/50/20's and the Moto951's today. $2450 for mounting balancing, lugs, tires, wheels, etc. I was hoping to get away without putting a 2" levelling kit on the truck. The tire/wheel dealer THINKS it will be close but I will NOT need one. Do anyone have any experience? Do you think I will need to put a levelling kit on with this wheel/tire combo?
