Good call. I wasn't even paying attention to the bolt pattern, I guess the backorder could be for certain sizes and specs too. I just saw that pic and have never seen them in that angle or lighting before and I thought they were much more flat or satin in finish, not so glossy.

Tally: (updated)
Pro Comps - 10
Monsters - 9
18" - 9
20" - 6



Blackout, yours are 35" on the 22" Monsters, right? (edit-yeah just saw your sig) I think I remember you said you didn't have any rubbing problems but I wanted to be sure. Are the Monsters close enough to stock wheels to fit 35s? If so I'll probably get 35s because your truck looks so sick with them! Also, you just have a leveling kit, right?

I would go with the 18" Pro Comps and paint over the silver highlights.

I also like the Pro Comp 7089s because they are all black with no silver. The have a -6 mm offset and a 4.75" back space. I would use Black lug nuts to match the wheels.



Not to stir the pot too much, but you can get them in a 17x9 with Toyo MT 295/70/17s for $150 cheaper than the 18" packages. The overall tire size is 33.5x12, so they are almost the same as the 33x12.5s.

Thanks bro,
22x9.5 XD Monster +18 offset with 35" Terra Grapplers
2.5" leveling kit
there is very minor rubbing at the 3 0'clock position on my fender flares.. but this rubbing only occurs when at full lock and driving reverse, basically only when i back into my driveway.

Thanks for the info! I am a bit confused, though, since I'm not too knowledgeable on the fitting of rims/tires. I was under the assumption that a wheel had to have a width of 8" or less (close to stock) in order to fit a 35" with just a leveling kit. Do the Monsters work because of the offset or is the backspacing what allows it to fit?

07fx4silver, just wanted to say that your truck is one of the main reasons why I decided to go with the 7005s, that thing is just sick. And I'd have to disagree with painting the silver highlights, a little bit of contrast makes everthing look so much better.

BLACKOUT..if you had the +30 offset would it work or is that to deep of backspacing for that tire combo? YOur truck looks very sweet.

Your truck is the first one I saw with the 7005s which is why I'm strongly considering them. Also once again you have me second guessing myself on the Toyos. Those KM2s look sweet! Time to jump back into Photoshop...





Tally: (updated to post 47)
Pro Comps - 14
Monsters - 10
18" - 11
20" - 8
