Wheel and tire question

[ams2737]

Ok so I'm wanting to get new wheels and tires for my truck it currently has 16s on it but now I'm debating on either 17s, 18s, or 20s. The truck is 4x4 and the 16s just don't fill the wheel well enough so which do you prefer? And what's the biggest size tire set I can go with and not have any rubbing issues. I just want to fill the wheel well more

Do u off road?

If you get bigger wheels you won't fill the wheel well, you'll just end up lifting the truck. You'd have to think about total tire/wheel size.

I don't off-road but I want an aggressive tire tread on the truck I was looking at Goodyear wrangler authority tires for the truck but they only go up to 17 I think

 

[ams2737]

The rims I was wanting to get are 17x8.5 or 18x9 or 20x9 the offset is 0

17s with 285/70 will be fine. 19-20" wheels on a non lowered truck look awful

 

[ams2737]

What about 18's?

i disagree unless youre referring to them with an aggressive tread...they come factory with 20s and 22s...

 

[ams2737]

So if I go with 20s at stock ride height since it is 4wd what size tire should I go with that won't rub?

 

[Canadian Expy]

Just do what most do 3" body lift cheap $$ and 2" leveling cheap$$
then you can have 35" tires and whatever rim size you want I had 35" with 20" wheels.
You'll end up lifting it down the road anyways , we all do...

 

[ams2737]

I actually wasn't gonna lift it at all honestly lol the only thing I wanted to do was either put a 5.4 in it or rebuild the current 4.6. And get some rims and tires.

 

[GAINMOB]

what are the plans for rims/tires...

 

[DetroitDarin]

...they come factory with 20s and 22s...

...and they look awful from the factory

 

[GAINMOB]

the style or the fact that theyre 20s and 22s

 

[DetroitDarin]

the style or the fact that theyre 20s and 22s

Probably both, but specifically the latter.

 

[ams2737]

I am wanting to get a set of either 18s or 20s MB TKO matte black wheels but I'm trying to figure out what size tires to get to go with them. That's my plan and I was trying to get everyone opinion. I don't want to lift the truck.

 

[DetroitDarin]

don't buy 20s then. 18 TOPS. 33" tall tires will rub, probably, on a stock truck. I had mine on for a week and it was dicey.

 

[ams2737]

So 275/65/20s would rub? What about 275/65/18?

 

[GAINMOB]

go 22's...

Maybe start talking in total tire size instead of the size coding. Would help you.

Go with 15s.
