Default Rims

I am familiar with all accessories you can put on a truck, except rims. What is a good make, webisite to view them at. I will be using them with 33' tires. Looking at either a 16, 17, or 18' rim. Pictures will be greatly accepted. Thanks

well to start with you have to run at least a 17
do you have a stick or auto? With a stick I would reccomend taller than a 33 I have 315/70/17 equiv to 35
on H2 rims with no lift. It all depends on what look you are looking for. Take your time and look around keep in mind backspacing is key if you do not want the tires to stick out alot of guys keep the stock rims and just change out the tires I saw one guy with 37s on stockers.

All kinds of deals on-line - some vendors have very informative websites that will help you with backspacing, what fits without mods, etc. But for quality wheels, check out DISCOUNTTIRE.COM - they spec the wheels they buy from vendors to tighter specs for roundness and balance - issues that sometimes the cheaper wheels struggle with. (and with the bigger wheels any out of round or balance conditions tend to be magnified)
