Wheel decision on a stepside
 
I'm wanting to get black wheels on my green stepside. I'm definitely going to get 15x8's to mount 33's on them but the backspacing is whats getting me.

Cragar d-windows have a 4" back spacing and matte black mickey thompson classic 2's have 3.312".
I want to have the wheel/tire stick out and not be tucked in and rub on the swaybar.

what do you guys think?
Whore out your truck if you want, pics are always good haha

Find some spacers on craigslist ;)

99offroadrngr 03-15-2011 12:38 PM

uh... no

Vonhanson 03-15-2011 12:46 PM

Mine are 3.75, stick out just perfect with 33/12.5 tires.

i have the Dwindow ones but they are a different brand.

Naughton 03-15-2011 12:47 PM

I'd go with the Mickey's just cause they look freakin' great, plus they'll stick out further.

cragars are gay. You might as well buy them with foodstamps. Have some class and get mickeys or equal quality.

99offroadrngr 03-15-2011 09:20 PM

lmao. I probably will go with the matte black classic 2s even though the truck is a pos haha

morris 03-15-2011 09:32 PM

gah, i think you'll stop *****in about the truck when you go wheel it for the first time and be like "OMG i missed this sh!t mang!!!1!!11!"

i'd also go with mickey's.

99offroadrngr 03-15-2011 09:40 PM

haha idk. it will never be like my red one solely because of the mileage. i wont put as much into it (although im saying this now i'll prob do it anyways lol)

definitely not getting a front end swap haha

btm757 03-15-2011 10:27 PM

Do a front end swap anyway. Then get a Projector Retrofit done

I liked the way my cragers stuck on with 33x12.5's. They were 15x10

Here is the best I have that show how they stick out.

fourliter dan 03-16-2011 07:41 PM

i need to swap to alum wheels, my steelies are heavy as hell...even without the locks on

Clinton 03-16-2011 07:53 PM

I got M/T's with 33x12.5 and depending on the brand of tire, the winter firestones stick out about 3/4 of an inch and the summer tires are good year wrangler silent armor and they stick out almost 1.5 inches
