Wheels for big brake kit? What are you running?

[siggyfreud]

Hey all,

Curious what wheel's you're running to clear big disc brake kits. I had to sell my Torq Thrust II's because they don't clear big brakes, but curious what you all are running.

I'm leaning towards Forgeline Grudge wheels, but since I'm in-between jobs I can't yet pull the trigger on expensive custom wheels. Also in the process of selling the home, so if it sells before I get my next gig I may need to look at less expensive wheels that will clear so I can move this truck lol.

Show me what you got!

Not sure what "big brakes" you have, but my Ramblers clear my 13" Wilwoods just fine.

Probably a similar size to yours. I'm running Baer's 13" setup. I'll have to look and see what sizes and backspacing they have available. Trying to run something like a 285 front, 305 rear, but some off-the-shelf wheels have some limited sizings.



PS. Your truck looks awesome.

Mine are 18x9.5(5.25" bs) with 275/35/18 on all four corners. That's the only backspacing offered in this wheel. There's not any real options for wider wheels without going custom 2 or 3-piece wheels. Rocket makes the Attack wheels, but they don't offer the correct backspacing in a 5x5 bolt pattern.

Eventually, I'll upgrade to 18x11 wheels and 315s all around.

Thanks for the compliment, also!

What are you running in the front suspension? I'd love to stuff like a 295 or 305 in the front, just not sure if only specific aftermarket suspension setups support it, or if generally most do.

I have the TCI Engineering pro-touring front and torque arm rear suspension. https://totalcostinvolved.com/produc...evy-c10-truck/

I actually have room for 18x12 and 335s upfront, but the stepside is the limiting factor on my truck. I can only fit 11s and 315s in the rear which limits the front to the same.

Does their crossmember drop the front in and of itself, and if so, by how much? I just see "provides a lowered stance."
