Anyone tired of their Rockstars yet?
 
I want to buy a set of 20 or 22's in black. I am so affraid of getting the wrong back spacing that I rather buy a set with pics on the truck. Anyway I have cash in hand if anyone wants to make a deal.

dude, no question about it, get the 20x12 with a -44mm offset.

Roush,

Do you have any shots of the 20x12's from behind and up front? I'd like to see how far they stick out.

i love my 20 inch black rockstars, but honestly, if i had a chance to buy all over again.. i might be tempted to get 22 inch instead.. and still go with 37 inch tires

Yep have my 22's mounted on 37" Toyo M/T's and they look good and the back spacing is not to bad on them.

Has anyone done the center cap mod on there Rockstars yet? Supposedly you can shorten the bolts and place the center cap closer to the center of the wheel? I do notice that there is a hell of a gap between the cap and wheel.

Mine caps stick way out but a friend of mine has them on a f150 and his caps are tight to the rim. he said they came like that when he ordered them. but i do remember seeing a member who cut his caps down so they fit tight to the rim

very easy mod to do. All you need is a dremel tool. That is what I used. I cut the bolts down and the plastic legs. I put mine about 1/4" from touching. This way dirt and stuff can still get out and they won;t rub on the wheel itself. I also took one fo th ebolts to Home depot and bought a nut that fit those bolts. I threaded the nut on before I cut it. If there were any burs left,, when you unthread the nut, it should take care of any issue. This way you don;t mess something up on teh wheel.



go for it. it hides the rusty hubs better if you didn;t rattlecan them.

Will do Timgco? Yep I sure didn't rattle can my hubs and you can see the rust LOL. Anyhow did you just measure 1/4" and cut? I'm planning on doing the mod as soon as I get back into VA. Also can you get a pic of your wheels and post up? Thanks:excited:

i still have to do that mod to bring the caps in closer.

18X9 35 12.50 18 Toyo MT/ Ths truck has been gone for a year and a half. I don;t have any close up shots that I can find. Here's a couple though.

hellz what did you paint the stars with. i love the look man

Hellz 12-19-2009 04:21 PM

Re: Anyone tired of their Rockstars yet?
 
used a 800 grit sand paper sponge thingy
completely sanded the whole star then used 2 coats of matte black
think it was a rustoleum.

let it dry over night, then put it back together

Re: Anyone tired of their Rockstars yet?
 
I would run some clear over those too. It's easy to touch them up of you need to, but run a flat clear or gloss clear over them, and you shouldn;t have to touch them up.

Looks awesome man.. Do they rub at all? I'm so friggin stuck on whether or not I should get 20's or 22's.. I'm being told that I'll definitely need a lift with a 22 or 20 by 12 inch tire. I found a nice set of KMC Diesels 22 inch on a toyo MT 35x12.5x22's. They look good on this site

but I'm afraid that they may look too "low profile". Who knows man.. Once I get it all together with your brush guard it should look sweet either way!

Thanks again for the pics..
