Go wider---definitely don't stick with a wheel similar to your current specs. I'd even go slightly wider than the wheels I have. They are 20x9 with +18mm offset and 5.71 BS.


Between study breaks tonight I'll see if I can't PS some up for you.

second one looks great :cheers:

What are you looking for exactly?

I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for... but here's the basics. I'd prefer a black wheel, but machined faces are cool too, no chrome wheels here. I'm going to stick with 20" wheels so I can use my current tires. They've got at least another 25k miles on them, and I'd like to get rid of the spacers as soon as possible.

I think my ideal wheel would have around 5" of BS.

I'm in total agreement with you, after all the driving force behind the idea of new wheels is to get rid of the wheel spacer up front. At the same time, I don't want them sticking way the hell out there either.

So far the best I've found is a 20x9 with +10 offset. If I can find one with a 0 offset, that'd be great too. I'd love to see the 2nd set of wheels I posted on the previous page PS'd on to my truck...

Kinda like this one too: Black Rhino Dune

It's a 20x9 with -12 offset, or about 4.5" BS.

For a 0 offset 5" BS, an 18x9 would be available.

Problem is 18s is that I'll need to get new rubber too. I'd rather get 20s and continue running my BFGs for arother 25+k miles.

Makes sense, I thought you were planning on selling your current package so thats why I said 18".

I think it might be a fairly new wheel. :dunno: I'm also looking to get a wheel that's easier to keep clean. There are lots of nooks and crannies on my current setup.

I posted a link to a youtube video that dropped the f-bomb, a few times, more then I remembered. :lol: I think it was probably BJ who banned me for good. The only comment I got was "suspended for circumventing the language filter, suspension lift date: Never"

Makes sense, I thought you were planning on selling your current package so thats why I said 18".

I could sell the wheels and tires together, but that'd still mean I'd have to pay for new wheels and tires right now, which I'd rather avoid. I mean, the BFGs were $300+ each, and I doubt I could find someone who wants to buy the wheels and tires for $1,400, which is what I'd need to get out of them at this point.

I think I'd have a better chance at selling just the wheels for $800 or so.

That's just plain shi**y! Sounds like they could have just taken it down and said hey, don't do that.. guess not!

But Yeah I think you might have a hard time getting 1400 for wheels and tires.. especially since you can't post them in the classifieds on the other forum so you wouldn't get a lot of traffic for them. Not sure how many 150's there are on this site.
