    Opinions and help on Tire Sizes and 18s


    Support FSC and see no ads! - Click Here
    Ive found a couple rims I like, but im not sure if I need 8" or may 10" wide rims for 325 tires which are about 13"s wide. Also, im not sure of what backspacing I need, I dont want the tires to stick out at all. Anyway, I have these in mind:

    Mickeythompson classic lock 2 18x10 (have this now in 16x8)


    Helo-Maxx6 Chrome 18x9


    Zinik Wheels Shogun 18x8


    Ultra Wheels StarGazer 18x9


    Boss 304 18x8


    they are all chrome except the MT which is polished.

    Please help guys, since the SC idea didnt fly too well with the folks and they said they would rather get me hydrolics, so I figured i will shoot for some new wheels/tires for christmas. Thanks.

    I vote for the Helo Max 6s or the zinik wheels. I'm anti-Ultra wheels. I've had nothing but terrible experiences with their wheels. Chrome peeled and flaked really badly and very quickly. Definitely chrome tho, so no MT Classics.

    Re: Opinions and help on Tire Sizes and 18s

    I may consider 17s at this point. Its just so much easier to find tires for that size.

    Any suggestions for that size?

    i love my 18"s with 35"s it looks sweet. not to much rim and it still has some side wall on the tires.

    deff. an eye catcher tho.

    Re: Opinions and help on Tire Sizes and 18s

    if you are going with a 35" tire, stick with a 17" rim or smaller. Lifted trucks look cheesy with big rims on them. You will want a 10" wide wheel with those tires. Might stick out of fender an inch or so, but that will look sweet. I had a big bronco on 33/12.50/15's with the mickey thompson wheels you like in a 15x10 stuck out just enought to show off some wide meat...really will compliment the truck
