Rims and tires???

WILD_PHIL · Aug 1, 2012

PSA Soldiers I am looking in to sprucing the ole ride up a bit. Not really sure what size rim I want, but I would like 33" or 34" tall tire max. Width no less then 12.50 wide, and if possible I would like to avoid paying 2000.00 bucks for a set of tires. Any suggestions? I think a 33x13.50 would be perfect. What are you guys running? What would you do different or wish you would have known before buying what ya got?

I have a 6 inch lift and 37s from my 05, but I would rather not go that big, and loose that much mileage. I was running the 16.5s with 2" wheel spacers and the military good years. It was nice buying a set of tires for 250.00 every 25,000 miles, but sucked not getting good mileage.

phil i know of a used set of 35 12.50 20 pro comp xtreme AT tires that have 6,000 miles on them. They guy bought the tires and put 6k on them and sold the truck and now has these tires for sale and is motivated to get them gone

Dang. Any idea how much he wants for em? I've actually been flirting with the idea of 20s any how.

$1200 or $1400 if i remember correctly

thats a good deal to cause i paid right at 2k for mine

Hell yeah. I appreciate it Randal! I'm going to try to find some rims now. That's a bit more then I can afford at this second. I just moved from Houston to Odessa. Lol

hunt down craigslist, you can atleast find stock 20s on there all day long for a fair price.

I have some stock KR 18s with all lugs and center caps I may sell...I may even sell the Hostages on the truck now and put tires back on the factory wheels. I have no idea what to ask for on the hostages with 305-55-20s the wheels are perfect
here are the hostages...the tires have 25-30% on 3 and one has 70% or better currently

If you want a 33x13.50 tire in 20 inch rim there are only two choices, both over $350 a tire.

I'm not set on 20s. At this point its just about making the truck look better. http://www.carolinaclassictrucks.co...glebase&utm_medium=CSE&utm_campaign=feedexact
These would be perfect and I just found a set of 17x9 with a +10mm off set. What kinds offset should I go for? I want the tires hanging out. A negative offset makes them stick out more right?
