Advice and Vote on Rims

Just thought I would solicit some opinions on rims for my 2004 FX4. I have installed a 3 inch level kit and have been running nitto mud grapplers 35/60/18's.....I want to get away from the mud grapplers (wear quickly) so I opted for terra grapplers. However, I went with 325/60/18's.....which is more rubber than I can run on the stockers.

SO......which should I go with in the way of aftermarket rims?

XD Monster 18's bs 4.52 offset -12

XD KMC Rockstars bs 5.00 offset 0mm

Pro Comp 7005's bs 5.00 offset 0mm

Also...which would be better given the fact that my tires are almost 13 inches wide?

thanks gang.

I'd go with a 9" wheel with 5 or 5 1/2 inches of BS

I'd go with the Pro Comp, but that just because i went with the Pro Comp so take that as you will.

Went with the procomps....however I have been waiting 4 weeks on backorder with no end in sight. Thinking about going with the monsters 18X9.....which would be best as far as backspacing given the fact that I will be running 325X60X18s.....4.53 or 5.71? I just want the doggone things to fit without hacking....don't care if they stick out past the wheel wells. The BS stuff really throws me. Thanks gang...

ok no body said anything about this so ill say it.

get rid of the 3" leveling kit unless you like replacing ball joints and other parts on your front end. put a 2 1/2"

Right now that is the least of my concerns. Besides, standing the cost of additional parts and labor is not an option. I have had not issues with my current setup with over 30k miles. My current question and request for assistance is with regard to wheels/tires/BS.

No doubt pimp...and they look sweet on your ride. However, I am not getting an ETA from 4wheel parts on the rims and other distributors are saying ProComp won't even given them an approximation. I mean it's not like these rims just dropped. I would be more patient but when I mean my tires are bald...they look like slicks and here in NY with the weather coming.

Thanks all and Wandell....I'm going to go with the 5.71 BS, XD Monsters Promis pics when I'm mission complete.

When i ordered my Pro Comps from 4wheelparts, they sort of did the same thing. I got 3 in one shipment and then 1 in another. Reason being they came from different locations. Now i need a replacement wheel because come to find out one of them is badly out of round and needs about 17oz of weight to balance. But 4wheelparts just keeps telling me they are on backorder. They keep giving me dates, and when i call on that date, they say try back next month. Very very frustrating. I love the wheels, just wish i could get my replacement wheel sometime this year.
