Rims

[MidnightBlue]

I was wondering what would be good off road rims and off set for my truck? It's a 2012 F-150, color Blue Flame and it has a 2.5 leveling kit. I am staying away from fully chrome rims.

What size tires do you want to run?

I'm looking at Fuel Off Road Hostages (18 x 9) with 4.5" backspacing in satin black then upgrading to 35 x 12.5 R 18 Toyo Open Country MT's

Yep, them are badass Joe, tell ya what, send 'em up here and I'll break 'em in for ya and send them back in the spring ;)

Haha. I don't think the at2 R for u brother. I think u are in a n mt world up there lol. But I'll send em up if u need em lol

MT's are decent in deep snow and undeniably awesome in mud, but they have about as much traction as a hockey puck on ice lol. Goodyear Wrangler Duratrak's with studs in them are the off road tire of choice for a lot of guys around here in the winter. I'm gonna keep rocking my BFG AT's till I can't go anywhwere in 2 wheel drive anymore, then decide what to do, but I REALLY love the Toyo MT's.

Dura track is also a great tire. I think they all suck in ice. I'd spend my money on a toyo product over anything

Yep, they all suck on ice. I think tires are made from the same rubber as a hockey puck. lol

Depends on what kind of look you R going for. And another thing. I had an f150 with an offset. If u like the paint? I wouldn't get the offset I didn't want those big @$$ fender covers. Tore my paint up. Anyways. If u have a 2.5 lift you can fit 35's np. Depends on what wheel size and depth u want. So what I need to know is. What wheel size Do you have now?

Ya but it looks cooler when your tires stick out from the fenders Joe, you know that! how do you think companies like Bushwacker stay in business? lol

@RexRied - I take it you haven't played much hockey. If your tires were made of the same rubber compound as a puck they would be pretty useless in temperatures below freezing. Winter tires and some better quality All terrain tires are made from a softer compound that allow them to remain more pliable at colder temperatures which allows them to grip the road surface better in icy conditions. This will cause faster wear in warmer temperatures and on dry pavement but they are much safer on ice & snow.

To the OP - what ever you decide to go with, show that baby off and post some pics!

True, but then again I would probably dump the truck for whatever I could get out of it and buy a new one if that happened.
