Scoti what kind of Rim are on your orange truck? I really like them. And a Link would help.

Well I'm not Scoti, but I can tell ya what they are. Those are American Racing "Torque Thrust II's" on his truck. He has 18's on the front, and 20's on the rear....

as far as i know, for the larger wheels(18"+) you will need to call the company up and special order them. i know you will for 20's

SCOTI · 01-11-2004, 01:57 PM

Thanks guys........ Yep, TorqThrust II's. I actually ordered them through my local Discount Tire as they had the best pricing. Don't forget custom offsets are extra too (anything bigger than 17's is considered custom btw).

They are 18x8 w/5.25"bs up front w/255-45 Dunlop SP9000's & 20x10 w/6"bs out back w/295-40 Dunlops. I would rather have 20's all around but I drive it daily now & I fear a 40 series wheel/tire combo would get torn up quickly so I compromised & went w/the 18's.

Anything else, just let me know.

FYI..... that's GM's factory color, Crimson Red.

Ok I will try and remember that. But i dont want 2 different size rims. What you gonna do when you need the rotate them? 20's in front and 18's in rear? lol I Just want a set of 18's like 18 by 7 or 8 in front and 18 by 9'1/2 in the rear.

SCOTI · 01-11-2004, 05:30 PM

18x7 & 18x9.5 are 2 different sizes as well. If you put the same size tire on those size wheels, one of them won't be ideal.

I've never rotated tires on any vehicle I've owned (& I've owned @ least a dozen cars/trucks). If your going to rotate, they should be the same size wheels & tires all around.

ok yea. LOL dont know what i was thinking. But ii dont like putting 2 differnt Sized rims on. Like an 18 and a 20. I would rather have all 18's and a little wider rear. and i was looken for those rims and couldnt find any at Discount tire. here were i live. could you give me a link to some where i could order them from?
