I'm having a hard time trying to decide what wheels I want to buy (when that time comes).

Here's my current choice: XD Revolver, 18x9, Matte Black

(the center caps are totally gay, I'd do something about them if i bought the wheels)


-I've thought about getting the existing wheels widened to a 9-10" width (havent done any research).


garage patrons, what do you think?

[Edited on July 28, 2008 at 12:43 PM. Reason : the truck will be painted Blitz Black when the wheels are going to be purchased]

Something to consider, regarding widening your wheels. Aren't the centers of these actually the outer lip as well?? I don't know if those could be widened the same as a wheel with a standard center welded into a rim shell.







I like the wheels you posted.

that would force the increased width to be added to the backspacing

c'mon man I'm tryna tuck some all-terrains

7/28/2008 12:47:48 PM

Get some big rig rims.

7/28/2008 12:49:19 PM

someone photoshop a picture of that model wheel onto my above picture

7/28/2008 12:51:32 PM

Wheel tucked into fender.

Keeping in mind, truck is at full droop in the picture above.

7/28/2008 1:00:17 PM

sans gay center cap, those wheels are sexy as hell

7/28/2008 1:01:24 PM

yeah, see, I'd be trashy enough to run the wheels without the center caps.

also, tire size of choice is 285/60-18's. very common size, can't go wrong there

7/28/2008 1:40:56 PM

haha i was actually referring to the XD revolver wheel in my photochop statement


but none the less... i can't help but stare at a dually with 22.5's (or larger)

7/28/2008 1:42:51 PM

ha google result. get them you tard

7/28/2008 1:47:31 PM

i saw dually sized wheels, but it was on a truck with WIDE one piece tires. why don't they have more of those.

7/28/2008 1:47:56 PM

^there's an ad in Diesel Power mag for those things... extreme

12/6/2008 10:58:30 PM

yeah, ive been looking at the M/T classic II's in the 20x9



now my issue lies with the fact that im currently rubbing at full lock with 29" OD tires. 20's would get me around 31ish with a 285/50-20 which is a common size, and cheap ($130ish).

I could go 18's, but to match the 29" OD i'd have to go 285/50-18... but those are $180 each.

12/6/2008 11:06:26 PM

well im sure you can fix that with offset

12/6/2008 11:27:54 PM

sorry, it scrubs the inner fender area that faces the tire, not the area(s) on the inside of the well where typical scrubbage occurs. bigger OD or more offset would increase the problem... but it might not be anything a BFH cant fix

I marked the location in red, in this random picture:



EDIT: so my tires are really 30" OD, My dumbass measured from the ground up, not across the undeflected diameter... where's that carlface picture at

12/6/2008 11:33:52 PM

those pro comp alloys are hot... that's my pick thus far hands down. i like the mt's also as was mentioned in the other thread, but it is SUCH an old, worn out look. the only thing saving them is being 20's. who are we kidding though, if you were any kind of real baller you'd be up on dem fo's right NOW.



on the rubbing issue, unfortunately that's a common problem with dodge. they have huge 'wells, but never fit that big of a tire without some work. i dunno if it's an issue of optical illusion, scrub radius, ackerman, or what. anyway, you can get a little room back there. you can't just trim them though, there is absolutely no way to make that not look like absolute shit with all the multiple walls and shapes those fenders have. first, pull that gay ass plastic liner if you have it. that's like 1-2" there. then. commence to beating the shit out of it with a bfh. cut out/tub areas as need. i know you ain't skeered of meltin metal.

tire (dick?) measuring 101- the general rule of thumb for measuring height with them still on the vehicle is to add an inch to the reading you get.

12/7/2008 1:39:26 AM

yeah, i think my dakota will scrub at full lock with anything wider than a bicycle tire

12/7/2008 12:03:03 PM

what gen. dak? you can cram 32x11.50's on stock 2nd gens. 33x12.50's if you crank the t-bars. dunno about newer ones.

12/7/2008 12:11:41 PM

I've decided Pro-Comp 6007's (6-spoke above) or the Classic II's either in 20", although I believe that Pro-Comp has a typo on their website for the 20x9 (which leaves out the 8x6.5 pattern... the rest of the text in that line leads me to believe it is indeed the 8x6.5 patternhttp://www.procomptires.com/procompalloys_specs_6007.htm)

12/7/2008 12:42:10 PM

yeah, have a 97 dakota and it scrubs with 31x10.50's when making a sharp turn

12/7/2008 2:29:19 PM

it's a 2nd gen. yeah, you can fit them in but they'll scrub at the locks like ^ said. if you try different offsets you change the radius the tire moves at and end up scrubbing the front and rear of the wheel wells when turning. it's nothing terrible, they just scrub and you back off the steering a little

[Edited on December 7, 2008 at 2:39 PM. Reason : love my dak though. shitty ball joints and transmission and all.]

12/7/2008 2:37:32 PM

^^something isn't right then, assuming it's all stock. 31x10.50's came factory on slt dakotas/durangos.

12/7/2008 4:00:44 PM

yeah, mine is an slt and they've scrubbed since we got it. only time I really notice it is when making a u-turn. Have over 150k miles on it and the only thing that's given me trouble were the ball joints. Think I've replaced them twice already and getting ready to put some more on it. Great truck other than the gas mileage but gas is cheap now so that doesn't really matter.

12/7/2008 6:17:52 PM

odd. you might want make sure the torsion bars are adjusted right and/or not worn out. i might also be curious if it's ever been involved in any kind of accident (unless you're the original owner).

12/7/2008 6:26:16 PM

you dont have the factory wheels on it do you?

12/7/2008 10:26:20 PM

Someone please delete this thread Hurley is being a bitch and will never have anything but the stock steel junk on his dodge.

12/8/2008 8:45:12 AM

iswydt

12/8/2008 8:45:57 AM

yeah, here in another 6-8 months, you will have a mod revive this thread once again, and still not buy any damn wheels


STEELIES FOR LIFE, SON

12/8/2008 8:47:10 AM

DONT YOU HAVE SOME WALLS TO SCRUB?

12/8/2008 8:58:00 AM

got so mad i let the hammer down

12/8/2008 9:31:26 AM

good choice what is the ETA? did you order tires?

12/8/2008 9:34:46 AM

didnt check on the ETA.....


getting the tires from my local shop in States-Vegas... bout $600 mounted+balanced

12/8/2008 9:36:57 AM

^^i do like those wheels and thought about them for my shit. however, i couldn't find any procomp wheels that had the offset i was looking for. they all either a 0 or -xx offset and would cause them to stick out. mine are a +14 which helps them tuck in a little.

12/8/2008 9:38:33 AM

these are +6mm offset, 5.25 backspacing
