They'll rub too much and since you're running Toyos (are they 35's or 37's?) the 37's will break your air susp. sensor. On the other hand, the rockstars would be easy to rattle can for touchup.

I just thought that the Rockstars would look good without the bling and maintain function of occassional off-roading. Don't have alot of canyons or hills in this part of Florida. however, I'm hoping Nevada, or Cali will be our next move, and I know opportunity will be there. I like the other rims as well, but its something about the Rockstars that looks good to me. I have 35's now, are you saying there is a possibility that they may rub or is it just the 37's. I currently have Dinamo 20in. Thanks for the help....Jamie

This was just a recent toppic. the 37 13.50's on stock wheels will break your air susp sensor faster than moderation in the Land Use section. A wider rim will make it worse yet...esp if the rim sits in as far as stock.

Your 35's should be OK though...they are only 12.50 wide...even when aired down. Make sure (before you order) that the rim/tire package you go with will still be functional while aired down. Once you flex that truck out all the way or even jsut turing hard left or right, you will get major rubbing. youmay even want to keep your rim/ tire setup if it works while aired down. Just get your rims PC'd. I bet those bad boys would look really sweet all blacked out. at any rate, it would be way cheaper to have them PC's that buying all new rims.

Not even sure there is a place around here that could powdercoat them. What price would something like this run on average? Thanks...Jamie

WOW, only 15 min away and never heard of the place. However, only lived here a year. Thanx a ton! How strong is PC and does it breakdown the strength of the wheel much? I def might consider this. Thanks man....Jamie

Make sure to tell them that you prefer durability to shine. There are a few powders out there that offer a decent combination of both. Temperature isn't high enough during the baking process to compromise the strength of the wheel.
