Ok guys/gals most of ya know i'm lowering my truck or it's lowered 2 inchs right now....but i'm in horriable need of some new tires and rims so ok i'll give yall 4 choices of rims....and we'll see what one comoes out on top so if you'll say the number and a few comments then have at it here we go!
Also if you'v got any ideas for some rims that would look good on my truck post them up lol
and heres the most recent picture of the truck but it's sitting 2 inch's lwer than stock and stock tires all around



Rim # 1
18'' x 7''


Rim #2
18'' x 8-1/2''


Rim #3

I will find some pics of a buddy of mines Ranger who had that tire size. They looked badass on his truck. Also if they stick out, will mainly depend on the back spacing.

I really like #1, but those screws are gonna suck to have to clean around. I'd go with #3 b/c it's a nice, simple design. And they look easy to maintain.
