: I think I've made up my mind...

Alright, after weeks and weeks of tossing around different tire/wheel choices, i think i've finially made my decision. I'm going with a 18x9 Procomp Extreme Alloy Series 1069 in polished Alum. They have a 4.75" backspacing with a -6 offset. I want them to stick out past the fenders, so i think those will do fine. I'm going to put a set of 325/60/18(33x13.50/18) Mickey Thompson MTZ's load range E tires on. I have a 2" leveling kit and i'm not affraid of trimming, so those should work as well. Anyone see any problems with the backspacing and offset. I'm no wheel pro, so those terms are pretty greek to me. Will they stick out past the fenders? Let me know what you guys think, pros and cons! :ro)

m/t makes a wheel similar to that, and can be had with a simulated bead lock

So does the backspacing and offset seem to be ok? I'm no wheel expert though, so i just wanted to make sure.

That'll look good. The spacing sounds ok- I'd call 4wheel parts or someone like that and ask. Those guys do lots of wheel/tire combos and have been real knowledgeable when I've talked to them. I've ordered from them several times-

The only thing I don't like about polished is that road salt and dirt will dull the finish. I had some of the MT Classic II's on my Tundra and had to polish them every spring. I went with chrome on my current wheels for that reason, but they are more expensive.

Enjoy!
