So I just talked to product development at KMC to see if they would produce a Smaller Rockstar Wheel rather than the starting lineup of 18". They said YES for $20,000 to have thier off-shore company make the mold. exactly what I said F*(& that. In any case here is my idea and I would like to know if this will fit with out major mod other than a torsion crank.

Buy the 18X9 Rockstar Wheel

Then buy the following tires...here is the catch

TOYO OPEN COUNTRY MT 35/12.5R18.

Will the 12.50 Rub??? Not sure if this is a do-able combo.

It's going to really come down to the offest/ backspace of the wheels. 35's fit great. 2.5 turns of the tbar make pleanty of room for full flex of the truck with the 35's. don't forge that front end alignment after the tbar crank. good luck. Those rims look great.

12.5" will fit, as that is what is on my h3 as we speak (alot of others here as well). the 315/75 16 is 35" x 12.5"

go for it. and post pics! those are sick rims. I'm trying to talk my friend into putting the black 20's on his white caddi

Aren't the 315/75's a little wide for the stock 7.5" wide rim?? All the tires I've seen say 8" min. Has anyone had any problems with failure of this size on the stock rims?

Thanks. I currently have 33" Toyo Open Country Tires. I plan on purchasing them as well for the Rim. Thanks for the info Mudd.

Haven't heard of anyone popping a bead yet. It's only 1/2" difference.

Does "offshore" mean "China"? Duck fat.
