20x14 Fuel Hostage

Well everyone said it couldn't be done, but I did it
I have always loved the Fuel Hostages but everyone has them, but I got a real good deal on this set! I mounted them on my Trail Grapplers that I already had, and I love the way they look, I just wish the tire was a little wider. I know there's gonna be more people hatin' on this then people who like it, but I aint trying to get an approval from anyone!
I just posting this if anyone wants to try, it can be done
I have a Pro Comp 6" lift with the Stage 2 coilovers cranked up an 1 1/4 higher in the front with 305/55R20 (33x13.00R20) Nitto Trail Grapplers on 20x14 Fuel Hostages that have a -76 offset and I do NOT rub

No rub, thats good. Are you going to get a wider tire when those wear out?
Maybe some 35's? Thats wear you might have a rubbing issue though

Wow, those tires do look wayyyy too skinny for those 14" wide wheels! But otherwise, sweet truck. It is all about what you want to do.

Thanks guys, I would do a 35" but I would rip my front fenders off
I had 35s on my 20x12 wheels and I would have to back up and pull up back up and pull up to just get out of parking lots! I just wish a tire company would make like a 33x14.50r20 or if there were more choices for a 33x13.50r20 besides mickey thompson, pro comp, **** cepek and iroks

Yep probally the first turn out the tire shop would destory your rig. Could anyways take it another inch or two to resolve that problem. Anyway truck looks good. I like it bc its differnt, dont see to my of the lincon trucks especially lifted.

Between the HotWheels looking wheels, clear mud flaps and wanna-be diesel exhaust tip I am not sure what to think. But hey, it's your truck.

IMO these are the best looking wheels out there. I wish Toyo, Nitto and Kumho would come out with a 33x14, 35x14, 37x14 and 38x14. I would have loved to either keep my 22x14's or buy the Hostages in a 22x14, but I didn't like the stretched tire. The down side to running a x14 wheel is you have to run a small tire so they won't rub which will leave you with a large fender gap. If you cranked the coilovers to where you had 8" of lift up front would the 35's fit?

Here in NJ I'd prob get about a block from my house before I got pulled over and ticketed.
