I'm thinking about getting the Eagle 114's in the 18x9.5 size.

They have 6 inch back spacing.

If I ran BFG 285/65 (33") tires with these wheels, would they fit ok?

With the 6" back spacing would they stick outside of the fenders?

I think the diameter of the tire will be ok but I don't want them to stick out.

Is there anyone out there running this combination that can let me know?

I appreciate it.

Thanks

Yup.... I have that exact setup. 114 Eagle 18x9.5's with 285/65/18 BFG AT's. They fit fine. Little trimming to the front air dam and I tunred up the torsion bars 6 turns. I have pictures if you are curious what they look like on the truck...

I have those rims on my truck, but with 325/60's..... I also have the green keys installed. I am actually going to buy those tires next as these rub a little too much for my tastes, just too wide. I think the 285/65's will fit much better with no rubbing.

Post em!!!

Chebby03HD,
Install a 1/4" wheel spacer up front. You would be amazed on how much sway bar rub is reduced. You still will notice it at a hard turn, but very, very little. It's a huge improvement over not having them. I used to have the same set-up on my truck.

Post em!!!

Ya Ben... Post them! I want to see my next present for my baby!

Here are some pictures (sorry theyre so big) of the 18" Eagle 114's with 285 BFG rubber...

:funnypost Yeah Im just pretty unsafe in general...

ABQFirefighter-- haha thanks for the compliment!! They look kinda similar to the wheels on your truck in your avatar, no?):h

--Ben

Figured you would get a kick out of it! I was hoping you didn't get upset!

Nice job with the whole truck. It is something some can only dream about.

It takes taste, not only money to build a nice custom rig.

Thanks Yaz...I really appreciate that! I guess working every summer since 7th grade and then having 3 jobs per summer for the last 2 summers (complete with no social life :) ) pays off...

Thanks for posting the pictures.

I really like that look. Perfect stance for a non lifted truck...in my opinion anyway.

I definitely think that's the setup I'm going to go with.

Thanks again!!

No problem! Its a good thing I love those BFG AT tires because they're the only tires avalible in a 285/65/R18 size!!

Yeah I've read about doing that, but my Nitto's only have a few thousand miles left in them, so I'm defintely gonna go with the BFG's now seeing them on a truck. As I still would like to have a 33" tall tire, just not as wide.

BTW, Truck looks great Ben.

Thanks ChebbyHD. Like I said before, I LOVE the tires so far. They are great off road (well compared to the stockers), rated for "severe snow service", and with my MBRP cool duals and no cat, they sound NO louder than stock tires.

Looks really good ben, but bfgs great off road? Only compared to stockers.. Stay away from mud with them, they fill up right away. They are great in snow and ice though.

Like those wheels though...

Great looking truck! Love the wheels.

-P.

I did not get a chance to weigh them...I think they are around ~35 pounds tho?? ABQFirefighter might know...they used to be his wheels.

Yeah they dont like mud...otherwise theyre good for what I do...im just used to trying to off road with the stockers.:)

my set gets here next week, just in time for christmas.
dang that looks good, i cant wait...

Phatty

I'm curious...did you buy them locally?

nope...I bought them from DP member ABQFirefighter

I really like the look of the 114s. I am considering them in the 20x8.5s for my truck.:)

I'm thinking about the same rim. What finish are they? I was wondering what the super finish looks like.

Mine are chrome...much more durable and will look good for longer than the Superfinish IMO...
