hey so im having a hard time making up my mind on which wheel to go with but have narrowed it down to these 3 styles. Which one do you guys think will look the best on a white LMM, I think chrome looks good on white and I would like your opinions so hopefully I can make up my mind, Thanks guys

I like the hosses.

Out of those 3 id say hoss buy a long shot

The one in the middle :D hoss

141's they look nice and will be easier to clean.

I only see THREE pictures.

Of those, I like the top one best (Not a big fan of chrome)

I would look for a wheel that gives me an Offset as close to stock as possible. (Stock Offset = +28mm) That will give you the best chance for getting a good fit with minimum trimming or lifting.

Wheels with ZERO offset of even worse NEGATIVE offset will put a huge load on the outer wheel bearings promoting early bearing failure. They will also increase the possibility for bent tie-rods if racing, pulling or serious off-roading.

Ok so the Hoss's come in these 3 specs which offset/backspacing is the optimal to go with? (this will be for my cst 6-8" lift w 225/12.5/20 tires btw)

1) Back Spacing = 4.53 in.
Offset = -12 mm.
Hub Bore = 117

2) Back Spacing = 5.18 in.
Offset = 30 mm.
Hub Bore = 125.5

3) Back Spacing = 5.71 in.
Offset = 18 mm.
Hub Bore = 117

Hoss no contest

on a 20" rim i would run either #2 or # 3 stock is 5.125" backspacing H2 take off run 5.5-6" back spacing and are 17" rims

I like #1 the Backseat. although a lot of people are jumping on the white ride with black rims bandwagon. I like the contrast it gives but a lot of people do it these days.

Hoss in black!

I would have to go with the Hoss.

anyone know if there are pics of a white LMM with Hoss's floatin around here? i like the black with chrome lip backseats...such a hard decision..i might have to flip a quarter between the first 2

backseats....

My choice would be #2 (30 mm offset)

I definitely would NOT choose #1 (-12 mm).

BTW - The BS dimension you posted for the wheel with +30 mm offset doesn't seem to jive with that offset. A 9 inch wide wheel with +30 mm offset comes out to 6.18 in. of backspace.

How wide are these wheels? Are they all 9 inches wide? Are all of those wheels for 8 lugs with 165.1 mm bolt pattern to fit a Chevy or GMC?

You might want to go to this website [ http://www.rims-n-tires.com/rt_specs.jsp ] and play around with different wheel sizes to see what works best for you.

They are 9" wide and bolt pattern is 8x6.5

OK.

I would pick the wheel with +30 mm offset which comes out to 6.18 inch backspace. If for some reason that doesn't work, I would them pick the wheel with +18 mm offset.

I suggest to have them let you try them out first, to make sure everything fits correctly, before you agree to buy them.

The HOSS is going to be available in Black.

See HERE (http://www.rims-n-tires.com/rt_wheelfit.jsp?wheelid=123843&brand=XD%20Series&model=XD795%20Hoss%20B).

ok now i have narrowed my decision down to the hoss or this rbp wheel which i just saw on a chevy which looked sweet

Hoss and rbp both would look good. rbp looks like it would be easier to clean.

Chrome Hoss...

Hmmmm, after looking at your post those KMC Backseats look great with that clean black/chrome look. I would definately consider going with those.

KMC Backseats, IMO.

I have Black w/ a little silver on my white LMM and looks good. I had black on black on my dodge. Once u go black u never go back. There are all kinds of black to choose from, I researched for days before I chose. I just think black looks better on certain color trucks.

I agree on the hoss also. I suggest going with the 4.53 bs and -12 mm offset if you are lifting. Most kits require atleast 4.5" backspacing to clear the UCA's and other suspension and steering components. Here is an example of the 20x9 Hoss with the 4.53 bs and -12 mm offset with the cognito 7-9 so you can get an idea.

Chrome Hoss is the best looking

Hoss by far.

the hosses....

The Hoss' for sure...plus you will want a positive offset unless you want to really trim up the front end of the truck. :eek:

there is a black lmm around where i live that has the hosses. i know yours is white but this truck looks absolutely SICK !!!!

141 (the ones in the middle) ....Kinda look like mine so my opinion is of course biased...:cool2:
