A LITTLE less Bling!

yeah your right they are 4.5 i have the same ones. love them ! your rig looks awsome !

This is the rim I've gone with. It's ATX Vice, 20x10 with 0 offset. I don't know what backspacing is so I'm not sure what it would be for this wheel.

[FGHT ON]

See if you can call or somehow find out the backspacing. The offset isn't going to tell you how far the wheel is going to stick out. That may help you decide on the width of the tire you are looking for.

Ok, from the American Racing website, They list that wheel as:
Size - 20x10
Offset - 0
Backside - 5.500

The tire is approx 13" wide, what's your opinion?

You should be fine, just know that they are going to stick out a bit farther and they MAY rub on full turn, depends on your rig.

I'm not very experianced with changing tire sizes on vehicles from OE sizes
Where, per say, do you think they would rub? Front fenders? Inner wheel well?

Kal

[FGHT ON]

Most likely they will rub the back (closest to the cab) of the inner wheel well in the front. The back, outer corner. Be careful becuase it can cut your tire as well as possibly rip the inner lining out. If it is minor you can always turn the torsion bars a half crank or so, not much more

You won't come close to the front of the wheel well

FGHT ON, I can't thank you enough for all your advice. You've been kind to share your knowledge and experiance with larger tires, and it's appreciated. I will post pics as soon as the wheels arrive. Hopefully they'll turn out great!

Regards,

Kal

No problem, I'm so glad I could help. I know how it is to see all these rigs on here and know there are so many people with more knowledge than your self currently has and no one is willing to help. TRUST ME, there are more on this blog not willing to help than the few that are. I had the same problem when I was trying to customize my rig as well. So what did you decide to go with, I'm sure they will look great?

[Knass34]

Well I'm just glad I was told about this site, and then stumbled upon your thread!

I went with the rims you see above in a 20x10. I've changed my mind many times on tires, but I think I've narrowed it down to just two, both of which are available locally. So when the rims arrive, I can hopefully choose the tire. Tires are same size, 325/60/20, BFG A/T KO (same as oe, but larger size) and BFG M/T KM2. Aesthetically, I'd go with the KM2's no question, but I've got no idea if I would like the ride quality. I've never had mud terrains before.

[FGHT ON]

Go with the mud, Trust me you will be happier! Being BFG they will last plenty long and you will be happier in the long run. The ride won't be that much rougher. Nice choice however you go! Make sure you post pictures when you are done.

[Knass34]

Thanks FGHT ON! I'll let you know how I fare when the wheels arrive.

Regards,

Kal

I am running 37x12.5x18 BFG KM's. My offset is Stock. My T-Bars are Mildly Cranked "maybe 1 inch but no more than 2". I have no rubbing EVER. Also keep in mind that when you increase your offset you also will tend to eat up your hubs much faster.

Just my $0.02

Thanks for your input Eric. The new rims have 0 offset but a backside of 5.5. Would you mind explaining what "hubs" are?

Much appreciated,

Kal

FGHT ON, your opinion is needed. I put a hold on my order, I just noticed this morning that there is an all black teflon coated version of the rim pictured above.
What's your take on the two choices?

Your opinion is highly valued,

Kal

[Knass34]

Teflon coated version:
Which one do you prefer?

[ROX]

Very nice! Love that color!

[FGHT ON]

It just depends on the look you are going for. Before the H2 I had a tahoe that was completely blacked out with no chrome except for the lip of the wheel becuase I wanted some contrast. The H2 has a little bit of chrome so I didn't care for the xtra accent on the wheels. Also, keep in my where you live and the weather and how ofter you wash the wheels. The chrome lip is going to need a bit more of attention than an all black to keep looking good.

The Teflon is also going to last longer and look better, scratches and wear and stuff . . .
