Stock wheels or aftermarket. Can’t decide

[JordanB7]

Hey All, Im struggling to decide to just run the stock wheel and tires? Or to get a new set of 18’s and run stock generals. Thoughts

 

[Cheif2Slo]

I actually really like the stock wheels, but their size limits the available tire options. If I could find a good 35ish d rated tire that fit I’d keep them, but to get the tire I want I think I need to go to a wider wheel or stuff a tire designed for a 8.5” wheel into our 7.5” then I f I’m buying new I may as well go 17”. But I don’t see a need to swap wheels and run stock tires unless you just really want something different which I do get! I think a bronze wheel would look amazing on my AMB and that’s really skewing my judgment!

I do not have my truck yet, but some are saying the stock tires are a light duty tire. if that is the case I would rather go with a better tire and keep the stock wheel. I have seen a lot of bigger tires on the stock wheels and they look really good.

The tires while not e rated and are sl tires are much tougher than you think. I won't be changing unless I wear these out or get a coilover leveling kit on here.

Here’s what I just put on really depends on what really turns your crank. >this turns my crank.

They did a good job with the wheels from factory but i did actually have some bronze in mind or rebels.

I am a guy who modifies his vehicles however I do think the stock wheels look good. I will keep them as is until I find something more appealing.

Hell yeah. I’m gonna put some 34” Nitto Recon Grapplers on 18” bronze Fuel rebels to go with my antimatter blue.

I keep putting 17” bronze fuels with Baja Boss AT’s in my cart and then deleting it. Over and over and over….

Personally I think Ford dropped the ball putting narrow 18" wheels on it. Should have put 17x9 or 17x8.5 on it. The off-roading gains with 17's are real...I've been places I wouldn't have gotten out of without airing down my tires and that extra flex helps. If someone wanted to stick closer to the OEM offset, I still think Raptor takeoffs would be a viable option. The non-beadlock ones can be found for pretty cheap and they look great powder coated.

I’m doing the same thing LOL. The shop I am ordering them through talked me out of the Baja bosses.

“These tires will be tight, you may want to choose another tire, we have had issues balancing these lately. A lot have come out of round. We can also gain a little more room while turning by going to a +20 offset instead of +1 on the wheel.”

When you guys do this share pics. I'm trying to decide on sizing options but the Fuel Rebels in bronze will go ony AMB. I haven't decided on tires yet but I'm thinking terra grapplers.

Good info! I was originally looking at Toyo At3’s but stumbled across glowing reviews of the Baja’s. Toyo’s are back on the table now!

I am leaning to the ICON Compressors in titanium. 18” so if i am not happy with a basic level they will still work with a BDS kit. I know 17’s are better but they will not work on a BDS kit.

Hey Captain, truck looks great! Can you share the wheel specs and offset? Picking up my Tremor tomorrow and looking at after market tires/wheel options to go on after level next week!

Currently leaning towards a Nitto RG 295/60R20 with 20x9 +18. Should give it a better stance w/o too much poke
Thanks in advance

These are definitely pushing the limits but I wouldn’t change a thing. 17x8.5 0 offset and 285/75/17 34”x11”

The bronze looks really good on these trucks. When I wear my stock tires out I'm going to get bronze methods. Will look choice on my Oxford white with the orange logos.
