Help on wheel size
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hey fellas well it is time for me to redo my truck. Need some opinions on my next wheel combo when shes laid out. Was thinking of keeping 20s in front but i want to go wide out back, either a 20x12 or 22x12. Here are some pics of my truck i will be putting the wheels on. Currently 20x8.5s and 20x10s

The truck looks great the way it is. If I were to change anything it would be a staggered wheel in the back. Maybe a 22x10 rear? Is your wheel well tubbed? You can put a pretty wide tire on a 10 inch rim.

Yes, I'm curious about your 20x10's in the rear now. Would you mind sharing the backspacing you're running? Tire size? Has it been mini-tubbed or modded on the wheel lips ? Thanks

the wheels are staggared now. No the 10in rim fits in the rear fender now, will get mini tubbed for the 12in wheel.

The back space is 5 and it fits perfect in the fender, not mini tubbed. The tire is a 275/35/20

Do you have the early rear end in your truck? Would a 275/40/20 fit you think? Just for a little more sidewall, just personal preference nothing bad on your truck at all. No problems with rubbing at all? I thought a 20x9 with 5" BS is as big as I could go. My truck is not bagged, currently at 4.5 / 6 static drop.

You didn't have to trim the outer lips or anything? Wow man. I'm stoked. More pics? Please

I think it looks great with the 20's as is, but I'm not a fan of 20/22 combos. My opinion is if you go 22's in rear, go 22's in the front too.

nice truck. if you are gonna change it up i voted 20 and 22 combo. you can start off there and if your not happy then order the 22's for the front.

I would not go any bigger than 20's, although 18" is my limit.

You need a option for "Keep as is"
Sick truck. My opinon is that it looks strange to see a 12" + wide rim if you are sicking with low pro tires (which I'm sure you are). For some reason it just doesn't look right.

Again nice truck

I voted 20x8.5/22x12. I really like how staggered wheels look, considering I'm running 18/20 on mine. Beautiful truck though and looks great as is.
