Getting new wheels
 
I will be getting new wheels this weekend. I want a low offset so they stick out. what is the widest rim i can run with a 265/70/16

ranger024x4 04-23-2011 07:47 AM

16x8's

RLong31 04-23-2011 09:28 AM

Are you sticking to black rims? Or going a completely different direction?

I think the mickey thompson classic locks and classic II's have 3.25 backspacing... so they stick out a little farther than most. Most 8" rims have around 3.75 backspacing. I think you can get the mickey thompson's in black now too.

04RangerDave 04-23-2011 09:47 AM

i cant say what wheels i'm getting.

PAShooter 04-23-2011 09:48 AM

Why only 265/70's?

04RangerDave 04-23-2011 09:49 AM

cuz thats what i have on my truck

04RangerDave 04-23-2011 10:01 AM

will this stick out at all
# Size: 16'' x 8''
# Bolt Circle: 5 x 4.5''
# Rear Spacing: 4.5''
# Offset: 0mm

RLong31 04-23-2011 11:46 AM

no... less backspacing means it will stick out farther... more backspacing means more tucked in

01RangerEdge 04-23-2011 11:49 AM

Why can't you say what wheels you are getting?

Vonhanson 04-23-2011 11:51 AM

just go with 3.75 backspacing on a 16x8 rim, it will be perfect.

RANGER_620 04-23-2011 12:28 PM

My wheels are about flush with my flares with 15x8s but im running 33x12.5s

Masteratarms93 04-23-2011 12:33 PM

Yeah 3.00-3.75 is perfect. My Eagle Alloy 058s are 3.25in like Mickey Thompson classic lIs.

I found a new wheel I want lol MT classic II. going to get something done to them tho. Could somebody post a link of where I can buy them with the 3.25 spacing please

SteelDirigible 04-23-2011 04:38 PM

Www.summitracing.com or direct from mt, mickeythompson.com or jegs.com

They only come in 4.438 in. Backspace. Mickeys aren't known for sticking out.

My favorite thing guys do with MTs is get the classic locks and have the lock ring color matched to the truck. Not sure how it would look in black on black but red and blue are badass.

polished aluminum is the only thing ill get. Chrome is gross big wheels are dumb.

SteelDirigible 04-24-2011 07:38 AM

I wouldn't consider 17 or 18 a big wheel I'm going to a 17 if/when I get new wheels. I do think a black ring would look good though. Also you have the option to get spacers if you want them to stick out a little more

Masteratarms93 04-24-2011 09:57 AM

I say 17 is the max on 4x4s. That's IMO of course.
