 Subject: 18" wheels
IP: Logged
Message:
I am planning on getting a set of 18" rims, but don't quite know what width(s) I want.
I've seen trucks with wider tires in the back which looks really tough lookin'. I would like a 45 series tire. I was thinking of 18x9 in front with a 245/45 and 18x10 in rear with 295/45. Finding tires that match with both sizes is a chore! Any suggestions? Stay with one size all around? What backspacing and offsets? Does the tire rub if it is flush with the fender flare?
I have a `99 reg cab with fender flares ( not lowered yet, but will get the Hotchkis kit)
Thanks, John

if you want to keep the same overall diamiter, do a 245/45 in the front and a 275/40 in the rear.

how much backspacing/offset would I use to get the tire just about flush with the fender flares?

everything on scotts truck is bad ass. if you do a 8" wide on the front do about a 5 1/4" BS, if you do a 9 1/2" on the back, go about 6 3/4" of BS.
this is all pretty much a guess, since i dont know how far the flares stick out.
call intro wheels, they did scotts wheels, and they might remember or know what he has

well if the gen II's are the same as the gen III's get 6 1/4" of bs on the 8", and 7 3/4" of BS on the 9 1/2".
on the gen III's the fender lip where it is rolled under into the wheel well needs to be trimmed a littls, so you will probably have to do the same on your gen II.
if you are getting 17's they might tuck on a gen II ( the wheel wells look smaller from what i remember), but on a gen III, the tire comes even with the wheel well (when running a 245/40/17 on a 17x8" rim)
good luck
Eric
