new truck help me with rims

oneturboforme · Feb 4, 2013

So I picked this up about a month ago it’s a 350 lariat I already tore the badges and fx4 stickers off of it. It will get the rear blocks pulled from it and possibly gas coils for the front and either 22s or 24s main question is black and machined or chrome…. I was set on black but now I’m leaning towards chrome.

Nice truck! I'd go with chrome 22s, I think that'd look good

Both,,, black back grounds with chrome high points. love the blue trucks

Chrome 24s!!

24s were the worst thing I ever put on my truck. 22's are where it's at

Besides the hostage part this would look good..

im looking at the american force inferno ss and a few others, problem with the fuel stuff is its getting played out kinda like rockstars the AF look pretty sweet and the have a 0 offset so it wont stick out 5" personally i think that looks dumb but to each his own..

Chrome hostages look great though. AF are starting to get really played out as well. Seems like people don't mind spending 3k on rims anymore. Not for me lol.

hey there only 2720 for a set :swordfight: i know there some coin but honestly besides shows i have never seen a truck with them on it... i did some math an with 325 tires this is what i cam up with

22x10" -20mm will stick out 3.5" further then stock 5.98" lip
22x11" 0mm offset will stick out 2.6" 5.5" lip
22x12" -40mm will stick out4.1" 7.5"lip:rockon:
they have a 14" but i know thats way to much.. now all i got to do is measure and see how far in the stock tires fit in the wheel wells unless one of you gents want to help a fellow PSA member out

I can tell you the 325 wont fit with the 22x12 wheel - you would need a 305/45 and it'll still be close.

If you're set on the 325 then go with the 20x10 or the 22x11 with no offset

I need to get my new set ordered - I'm going with the 22x12s with 305/45s

why? to tall? i think dustin and someone else are running 325/50/22 and there on stock height no levelings kit ect.

but no im not set on it just needed a size for calculating how far they will stick out.

Strokin6.4 · Feb 4, 2013

Or level it and squeeze 325s on 22x12s. This is what I may do if I step up to 35s

Dustin has the 325 with a leveling kit and 0 offset IIRC - his wheels are 22x9.5 also.

But I do think your on the right track - 22s look awesome on the newer trucks
