Wheel you help?
Hey guys need some help deciding what size wheels I need to go with on my shop truck. I have my ECE 3/5" drop and will be installing it soon and I have tubbed the rear 5" on each side with factory tubs. My delima is I don't know whether to need to get an 18x 8 or 20 x 8 for the front. I am definitly going with a 20 x 12 w/ 7" backspacing for the rear with a 335/35/20 Nitto drag radial for the rear. I do like the raked look with the staggered wheels but don't want too much fender space up front. Give me some ideas. Please!
Going with these wheels Billet Specialties " Vintec"

Re: Wheel you help?
I can't help you on the pics, but I'm with you on the racked look. I would say 18's up front 20's rear should look pretty bad a$$. As far as the space between the fender, you can always run a little taller tire or go with a 4" spring up front.

Re: Wheel you help?
Well thats the thing I dont want to go too low because I still want the truck to transfer weight fairly well so I can try to have a little traction off the line. My truck has around 650 hp so I need all the help I can get for traction.
