I'm not too far off from needing new tires and I have tossed up the idea of rims for a while, I've just never really looked into it that much. One of the main reasons for larger rims is brakes as well. I want to run 3rd gen pads and rotors but I can't given the 16 inch rim.

3)

4)

5)

6)

7)

I know it's a lot of black, but everything chrome just didn't seem to fit. Let me know what you think.

I vote option 3, looks real good :thumbsup: whatever u do, DON'T get rockstars...

1 or 4 both look good to me. Food for thought cause I have been contemplating what you are for the exact same reason(3rd gen brakes). If funds are limited, consider installing an exhaust brake and keeping stock forged rims. That way you have a braking system that preserves your existing oem brakes(extended brake pad service) and is a must if you ever want to hook up an RV or pull a trailer thru the mountains or if you want super fast winter warmups. Also you retain fuel economy with lighter smaller stock wheels. I know there are cooler looking rims to be had but I have always believed that "Form Follows Function"

1 and 5 look good but I like 6 the best.

2 , but I don't like black wheels.

 

[cumminsdog]

what ever you do stay away from the rockstars. unless your stuck in the early 2ks and wanna look like a douche

 

[puff11]

I Like the spys. And I agree, no rockstars

[Carbur8tr]

Agreed on the rockstars. I like 1 and 6, but I honestly cant decide. Most of these have tire options of 285/60/18 if I believe.. don't quote me on that. Do y'all think I could go for a 305?

 

[Ramitt]

I choose number.....3

 

[Lucan89]

I vote for 3rd gen aluminum wheels, and if you want black, have them powdercoated. Hard to beat the looks of them

 

[CumminsGuy01]

I like number 7 and agree with everyone else on the rockstars. Everyone and there brother has rockstars nowadays and its really annoying.

One more

I say #3. :thumbsup:

 

[kountrymike]

#3 all they way. Where are you looking at getting the rims from? I am in the same boat.

Probably find a good price online and get Discount Tire to match it. I am also looking into 305s or 315s.

Depending on the backspace, I ran a 315/70/16? And couldn't turn at all. I had to get out a grinder, that was with a 2" leveling kit and 4.5 backspace.

[Carbur8tr]

Yeah I have 305s right now and they rub the control arms. I don't know how it would be with the wider rims though.

 

[puff11]

Depends on your backspace and offset. I have stock 3rd gens on 315s and they rub the control arms bad.

I'm honestly afraid to do 315s and aftermarket wheels. But its all about offset
