Default Rim Shopping!

Well I'm looking around for new rims and just want to make sure im looking at the right spec of things. 18" x 9" with a bolt pattern of 5 x 139.7, however, with the offset is my question. I want to make sure I get an offset where I'm not hackin' away to make it fit in front. Thanks in advance!

Closest to stock would be +18 offset on a 9" wide wheel. That offset is available on a bunch of wheels.

Hey guys, been doing a bit of rim and tire shopping myself. Was slightly disappointed when I found out that my Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor wasn't part of the recall, so I'm gonna have to pony up to get new tires...that is if I end up keeping my Dak.

Speaking of which if you or anyone you know is in the market, if I decide to sell her (and or part her out) I will be doing so in the next couple months. Be nice to line up interested parties if she goes. If I do a part out, other than what you see in the pics, I can give yall a break down of what she's got.

Getting back on track with the thread...I was looking at new tires and rims last night. For a while now I was drooling over the BFG TA KO's (an off road standard) but I came across the Mickey Thompson Baja STZ...don't know much about them (except they are friggan Mickey T's) but I was surprised to see that they were going for about $176 a piece. So, if any of you know anything about them, feed back would be great.

As far as rims, I have always liked a more rugged look. Got on tirerack.com and saw some pretty nice rims from Ultra Wheels. Fell in love with their Goliath all chrome rims. 18x9 goin for $234 each. If I went with there tire and rim (with free mount and balance) package, and had them throw on some new Goodyear Silent Armor shoes, with shipping would be looking at about $1,900...not tooooo bad I guess. What do you guys think?
