Default New wheels ordered...back ordered :(

Aww well, but it's ok. Broke down and got a set of these Granite Alloys



I dunno if they are so new they are backordered or they are so popular...


The reason i broke down and bought new rims: shredded the tread on my front right going down I-275 today. Completely gone, just a "tube". Scary

Anyway, what is the largest tire I can go to fill out my wheel well without modding or rubbing?

I only plan on adding a leveling kit in the front, nothing else. The rest will be stock

To fill you could rock a 35 with a level but some trucks are hit and miss when it comes to rubbing when turning. 33 inch tire is the only fool proof not rub tore but it will not sutff the fender wells. Its all preference. Do you offroad any?

i think we've bashed this wheel before. if memory serves me correct, its also more expensive than the rockstars.

I would go with 33's. 35's dont look good with a level. Both of those comments are only my opinion (because you asked for it). If you dont like it, pay no attention to me good luck and as long as you're happy, thats all that matters

I dont like the rockstars, and everyone has them

these we're ony $199 a piece at tirerack.com

thanks for the tire advice, though. I can probably get my local tire place to put one of each size on and see which I like, theyre good people.

they do look like rockstars knockoffs, however, I like these better than the rockstars! Good choice, what tires are you using. I would reccomend NTG's
