OK, well, when I put on that XII suspension kit I found the sidewalls of all my tires were cracking. So, I need new tires.

While I am at it I want FAT tires on the rear. The truck is just to traction limited.

I know I have asked this in the past and cannot find the info, I can never find anything...

Anyway, I want to stay stock outer diameter on the tires. Want as wide as possible on the rear. Fronts are OK, but would like that offset/dished look for the rear which mean new wheels.

OK, the clock is ticking, need all this done by VIR.

Let me know your ideas on offsets, tire sizes and so on. What it all to fit, no rubbing, and good quality go real fast stuff.

Thanks!!!

9.5 in the front with 15 offset stock tire width is okay but uou could do 275 and 10.5 in the rear with 25 offset with a 295 wide tire could get away with a 305, wheel choice is always opinion

Need to ask yourself these questions. How flush do you want the tires with the wheel. As is bulging, straight, or stretched?

How wide of a wheel do you want in the rear? How much and what quality do you want in a wheel?

I currently have a 305 on my rear wheels. Is a bit of a bulge for the 9.5" wheel. 275 on a 9.5 is perfect and straight.

My plan for when I get new wheels are a 275/40 R20 & 315/35 R20. 9.5" +19 up front and 12" or 12.5" out back +53. Whichever matches the front. Your offsets will be different than mine due to slightly different fender flares. *****

Obviously yours would be an 18". The beauty of that tire combo, is that they maintain the same overall height between the two. Probably pretty dang close to what you are looking for in overall height, on an 18".

Hey G,
I think you have the 332 mm TRD BBK you can run a 17" wheel. I would look at the performance gains and cost saving for 17 X 9 or 9.5 wheel and tire package for a road coarse set up. A man whith a big warehouse has room for a couple sets of tires and wheels for different driving disciplines.
