Raptor Wheels on Tremor

[Squatch]

Those Raptor wheels look great on the Tremor! I am looking at that setup or the Roush wheels.

I ordered a set few days ago... I think it'll add a nice touch.

I installed the stock Raptor 17" wheels on my Tremor. It definitely drives more like a truck. My mileage looks pretty much the same or maybe went down .2mpg. But that could be me just geting on it a bit more. No rubbing, nothing at all. I have the RC 3" strut to level it.

Have you experienced any issues rubbing after having them on for some time? I'm about to pull the trigger on the identical setup

Hey there. Hopefully you still see this post since it’s been a while. Did everything held up good with your set up? I just got a 2023 Tremor and I’m doing the Rough Country leveling kit with their M1 nicer tube. And I see a lot of opportunities to buy new take offs of the raptor. Just like yours. How is the handling ? Comfort? Noise level? MPG? Thank you

I have a '23 with Raptor Take-Offs and 315/70R 17 KO2's.
Changed out wheels and tires at about 800 miles and now have over 15k.
Did a ReadyLift 2" Level Kit and have absolutely no issues. No Rubbing, tires are wearing evenly. Mileage may have dropped slightly, but noting that significant. Running 36 psi Front and 32 psi Rear when not towing.
Truck rides and drives pretty much the same and noise level is also about the same. Bought tires at Discount Tire and have them Rotated/Balanced about every 6k.

Awesome. Thank you for the detailed reply. Have you noticed the odometer reading different speed ?

Looking at one of the Internet tire change calculators, it comes up to about 1.2 mph at 60 mph (33.6” tire vs. 34.4” tire). I have a Banks iDash Gauge that adjusts for tire size and it shows 61 mph when the truck Speedo shows 60 mph. It’s a little over 2% differential. Nothing that is really noticeable.

Makes sense. Im not worried then.
I’m hoping that once the Rough Country level kit and the raptor tires in I can still fit in my garage. Mine is 83 3/4 in tall. Wondering how much the actual cab goes up including the shark fins.

Your truck looks way nice with them. Congrats

Got a chance to measure mine this afternoon. Highest point on my roof is just shy of 80”.

Thank you Andrew. This covered everything I needed to know. Much appreciated

Hey,
What PSI do you run when you do tow? I have a TT that maxes out at 5750 lbs GVWR.
I am getting my set up Tuesday. I will post some pictures.

My TT maxes out at about 7k. I run 38 psi all around when towing. That’s with the 315/70R - 17 C-rates KO2’s.
With my Load Leveling hitch, I’m right on level front to back (measured at wheel wells).

I love the OE Raptor beadlocks, particularly the later ones that kinda mimic the first gen Raptor SE wheels....it's just that they are so freakin' heavy!

 

[dangerdan87]

Defiant DF04 wheels are raptorish design, but lighter. +12 offset

I really like those. Definitely has a raptor beadlock look to them. Those will probably be my choice when it’s time for tires.
Great looking rig

If you go offroad regularly (I do...for work), get fender flares. Keep most of the mud down and prevents slinging rocks forward

Has anybody seen these on a tremor? I believe they are off the raptor R.

Just the wheels not tires.

 

[Rabidtastic]

I do believe a little birdy down south of me just got some Raptor R wheels

I don’t understand why they poke out so much at the rim. Is that so you can buy the ring and actually bead lock it?

I’ve heard not so fun things about bead locks, and i never air down THAT much

Edit: I guess they are just “beauty rings”.
