How to Decide ???

carlos02 · 02-08-2008, 04:21 AM

I've been looking at getting some new tires & wheels and would like to get some opinions on the following selections .
I'm looking at 20" wheels with 35" rubber , my mega cab has a 4.5" lift .

1- Weld Racing - " Dune 8 "
- " Cheyenne 8 "

2- Jesse James - " Lawless 8 "
- " Widow 8 "

3- Toyo - Open Country M/T

4- Dick Cepek - Mud Country

5- Cooper - Discoverer SST

6- BFG - Mud Terain

Forged Weld wheels (I have Raceline forged wheels) - make sure you get the correct backspacing. Tire depends on how you use the truck, I have BFG AT/KO's 325/60/20 with a 3" Kore lift. I have a little rubbing, you will clear with your 4.5" lift.

I think they are the older version of the current Renegade 8 wheel.

Specs are 20x8.5, 5.25 backspacing. I wanted more backspacing, but this is the most they have. I love the Weld Cheyenne 8's, but the 20" wheels are almost $800 each (chrome version)!!! I got all 4 of mine for that price....
