Not exactly what you're looking for, but here's mine with 18" fronts and 20" rears. I've also installed Willwood's front and rear.

I don't want to buy rims and have rubbing issues.
Thanks!

18x9.5 US Mags Rambler (5.25" bs) 285/40/18 tires. 4.5/6.75 drop.

GMJimmy · 04-12-2016, 09:15 PM

Thanks very much for the info. My truck is like yours only a dark green fleetside and should look good with those wheels. I was going to go with an American racing salt flat wheel but at 600+ for each wheel I decided to look at something a little cheaper!
Thanks again!

What is your LCA ground clearance? I'm guessing about <2" with the 27" wheel diameter.

Never actually measured or even bothered looking.

68Stepbed · 04-13-2016, 07:33 AM

I only paid $840(US) for all four wheels.

oldred · 04-14-2016, 01:59 PM

Same setup with TT2. Posting pics from my phone...not sure how this works.

OregonNed · 04-14-2016, 02:54 PM

Mine came with 18's, but they were soon replaced.... uck! (these wheels, I mean) Couldn't even give them away with decent Toyos on them.

70blackfish · 04-17-2016, 12:53 PM

Nice. Wider the better for me

70blackfish · 04-30-2016, 01:00 AM

DBK81 · 05-01-2016, 07:42 PM

My 18's, thought about 20's but so glad I went 18's.

69stepper · 05-01-2016, 09:10 PM

Love your ride height

69stepper · 05-01-2016, 09:15 PM

Switching to bags, should be able to get another 3" all around.

Lancialonnie · 05-01-2016, 09:50 PM

Hopefully the picture attached, I'm not so computer savvy. I just got these torque thrusts with 235 55 front 255 55 rear nitos. Now I really need to figure out what I want to do about lowering it. Spindles or springs and shocks for now? Not sure yet.

Do a 4/6 drop with spindles & springs.
