Default rims/tires?

Is anyone running xd black rockstar rims on their rigs? I really want to put a leveling kit on and ad beefier tires. I am thinking about dropping down to 18inch wheels from the stock 20's. Is that possible? I found a wheel/tire combo with 18x9 rockstars with 33x12.5x18 Toyo MT's. Will this combo work? What do you guys think?
thanks,

Being that your truck is a 2wd I think it may rub. Depending on the offset of the wheel it may or may not work. Regardless I think your gonna be close. Your best bet is to call a place like 4weelparts. They can tell you for sure.

Also call West Kentuky Costumes.

I called these guys when I was looking for wheels and tires and they were very helpfull. There prices are the best I found and fortunately got my local 4wheelparts store to match there price.

My memory was just jogged on something. When I was researching ways to get larger tires on my truck I came across the new ready lift.

http://www.readylift.com/c-233-dodge...-lift-kit.aspx

With this kit they claim that you can run 35" tires. Only true if you are running a 0 offset wheel and an 11" wide tire. This kit will give you an inch more lift then the DayStar leveling kit in both the front and rear.

I bet you would be perfectly fine with a 33x12.5 with this kit.

Sorry about that, I thought I read that yours was 2wd. I believe I was looking at my profile in the right corner.

It should work on your 4x4 depending on the Offset of the wheel. Your best bet is to call a reputable performance truck shop who can tell you for sure if it will work or not.
