Default Help me!...wheels

Okay ive finally made up my mind on what im gonna do. lol. Im gonna get new 20 inch wheels and new and bigger tires. Im gonna get the wheels first. Which are Atx Artillery 20x9 rims. then im gonna get my truck leveled. then i was planning on getting new nitto terra grappler tires. but i need help on a few things just to make sure this setup will work. So anybody who is good with tire sizes and stuff please help me.
The first problem is i wanna make sure the tires i want will fit on my wheel. The tire size is 325/60/20 and the wheel size is 20x9 here are the websites to both the wheel and tire in which ill be buying from so you can see the specs on both.

http://www.tirebuyer.com/tirebuyerwi...Specs/page_0/6

i just need to know if that will work

and my other problem is if i get those tires and wheels, will they rub any with my truck being leveled??


Please help i just wanna make sure all this will work before i buy something that doesnt fit lol

Thanks!

the tires will fit on the rims. I dont understand what their bolt pattern states (you need a 5x5.5)

you are really pushing it with that width/heigth on a 2in leveled truck. You will have rubbing, even with that backspacing (IMO). I just dont know for sure how they will fit. I think these are what OE has on his 6in lifted Ram

BTW, please put the thread title as a subject, not just HELP ME. Everyone either needs help or is showing something off. It will help you get more answers and keep people from thinking you actually have an immediate problem

If you are going to buy 20" wheels, 18" tires will not fit.
Make sure you order 325/60R20 tires for your 20" wheels.

I am sure it was just an overlooked typo, but wanted to make sure.

Okay thanks, and i dont know. I called the number they have on their and they said those wheels will work on my truck? if they dont i guess ill just send them back. lol and what if i got a 3 inch body lift? would that help the rubbing problem?

Yea a 3in body lift will work. Ive actually got a 2.5in level and a 3in body lift on my truck with 35/12.5 r20s and HAVE gotten a rub out of it once. Not normal driving conditions though

If they said they will work then they should. A rim company should know bolt patterns! On the site, they are 35.2in tall (not a problem w body lift) BUT 12.9in wide. REALLY wide. With 4.5in backspacing I THINK you can get it with a tight fit.

I think its Marx with the 4x4 level and 35/12.5 r20s (or 33s) but width is what matters. His rims have +18mm offset making them have around 5.5in backspacing, so an inch more than you. He is a hair away from rubbing.

I think you will be close but it will work. You can always buy spacers like me!

okay sounds good! and i want them to stick out a little i like that look. and what brand of body lift do you have? and how much did it cost?

but since you said it will work im pretty sure thats what im gonna do. ill get the wheels first then get the level and body lift then get my tires. hopefully it wont be too much for it all. i was planning like 3k.


But thanks your alot of help bro

I have a zone but thats only for 06-08 you will need a PA body lift, around $350 normally. And you can put it on in your garage.

3k is way over what it will be. IMO, the place you are buying your stuff is overpriced. You can buy combos cheaper than that for sure. First of all, 20s are too expensive. Less tire, so a rougher ride, less off road performance, less towing. Not that big of a look difference but $100 more/tire.

I dont know what your truck looks like i.e. color, trim, etc

but if I were you, I would do this (im somewhat biased lol) level, body lift, 18s on 35s. I would have this package on my truck but its all black http://www.rimzoneonline.com/product...570R18-Load-E/

now mine has 20s, they are the stock rims, but heres almost an exact idea of your stance with what i gave you, for less than 3k.
