9.5 or 12" wide rim?

ROUSHDEMON has a good picture of one of his H2's that has 20x12 rockstars and the stance they give the truck is badass. If I didn't already have a nice set of wheels those would be the ones I'd buy :D

Yup.... but dude dont go 9.5".... that's too tiny... that sh*t is for Jeeps! HA
20x12 (-44mm offset) with 35"s, no keys.

God I love that color in an SUV. I almost bought an SUT in that color but couldn't deal with the color.

And now, a year later, I love that color on an SUV. Go figure.


Of course, it probably has a lot to do with Rousch's stance, it looks great.

Mine rubbed with keys, I guess it depends on the offset. :shhh:

Yeah, when it comes to buying new wheels for this 2 or any other I may own in the future I'll definately be going with those 12" rockstars, and I'm not even a rockstar fan! :perfect10s:

Offset makes a hell of a difference in any vehicle, cocaine is a hell of a drug.

I'll guess and say a minimum of 2, possibly 3.

My truck "Ma Deuce has an agressive stance too. It looks cool but car washes don't last long:crying:

It's a stock size tire..? Or are you more so stating that due to the extra weight of the tire and the force it takes getting them to turn? My 35" Toyo AT's on 20x10 Mazzis average 12.4 on the computer, highway at 70 is right around 15 and up to 17 on nice smooth roads.

Dude...you had me at the 'that sh*t is for Jeeps' comment, and the pics sealed the deal. Your grippers look sweet!

Re: 9.5 or 12" wide rim?
 
I'm sorry, I lost my mind apparently. I thought we were talking about going up to 37's.

My bad... 35's are actually 2" taller than stock tires. (even though stock tires say 35's, they actually only measure 33" tall)

2" taller tires will reduce the gear ratio a bit and on the highway, it's very possible you go up a couple of miles to the gallon. It would be like having 3.90's instead of the stock 4.11's.


Again, sorry for speaking out of turn, should have read the whole damn thing.

Oh...I missed that too.

Okay, so how do 37's do on 12" rims? I've got a Cognito Leveling Kit and am currently running 37" BFG Mud Terrains on the stock rims with no rub.

What should I expect if I move to 12" rims?

I have had no problems, but I have a fabtech on mine. 37" toyos with 22x12 rockstars.
