I know everyone has these wheels but I can't find anything that I like better. I live in Ga so not many people have them. We all have the MotoMetal 951's. Every other truck on the road has them. I am looking at getting 18x9's. Running a 35x12.5 nitto mud grappler what backspacing will work. There is a smoking deal on ebay right now. They have 5" of backspacing. Will that work? I know a few of you guys are running these maybe someone can chime in. I'm dying to get the stockers off the truck

The rockstar is a 0 offset with 5" bs on them for our lug pattern. So you're good to go with those specs.

I ran them with 35 12.50 18 toyo mt. Here's how they fit...

Thanks Tim! Is that stock suspension in the picture? No leveling kit? I don't really wont to crank of the torsion bars so I am trying to get an idea of what it will look like stock. Thanks man!

stock height. with the more aggressive tires I did put the rancho steering stabilizer on though, but as far as stock height, there were no raising the tbars or anything like that.

One more thing to consider if you haven;t had the grapplers yet, they look cool, but ride pretty rough and wear down quickly from what I've seen/read.

If you're looking at the guy on Ebay (RIMZONE)that puts the packages together, you may want to ask him what other deals on tires are available. I'm assuming this is your daily driver.

I've had the nittos before. Didn't really bother me that much. I liked the noise and I have about 15,000 miles on them when I sold the truck and they still looked good. Thanks for the input about your truck tim! Is it a bad idea to crank on the tbars? This is my old truck

I've got a set of 35x12.50-20's brand new Mickey Thompson MTZ's if you need tires and decide on 20's.

They are the exact height of the stock tires and are excellent tires. They have about 700 miles on them.

Let me know if I can help.

Thanks guys. I ordered the 18x9 wheels. I got the 4 wheels and tires shipped to me for $1700.00 I think it was a pretty good deal. I think I am going to take the spare off the back. Anyone need a carrier?
