Pick my wheels

Keechi_Kid · 05-27-2008, 06:28 PM

All right, I have a white '06 4x4 2500 with a leveling kit. Help me come up with some good ideas for tires and wheels. The thing that makes this tough is I cant go to tall because I have to park in a garage with a clearance of 6'8".

With 6'8" you can't go much higher with 4X4. I'd say Dale Earnhardt Jr. "Cannons" with 295/70 Nitto Terra Grapplers.

I think you'll be pretty limited on what you can run. Have you measured your truck with the leveling kit?

I just measured mine. I'm leveled with 285/70 on stock wheels. I had about 2-3 inches to spare until 6'8". Whatever size wheels you go with your tires can't get above 33".

Correction, about 1-2 inches to spare.

With 33's should I go with a 17" wheel or 18" wheel? thanks for the help.

I guess it depends if you're looking for a tire with a thicker sidewall or not. I have 285/70 on the stock 17" rim and that's pretty close to the clearance height you mention above. It looks a little better than the stock tire but I still am going to go with a bigger tire.

Yeah I'd go with 18s as well. It will look good with 33s.
