if you're going with 35s you'll probably need to regear....

I'll start out by saying go with black wheels, but that would be biased. Get what you like man. Its your truck, you have to look at it every day. Even if you add something that you like and no one here does, doesnt mean its bad/ugly, it means its YOUR idea of a good looking truck/add-on whatever so who cares what we think? With 35's, I would def re-gear. I haven't yet, but by summer's end, I will have these 4.88's in! Having said that the stock 3.73's haven't been too bad, but I can def feel the difference. Your transmission will thank you as well.

 

 

Also...truck looks badass as it sits. Looking forward to see what you decide on. Good luck!

i was thinking black to, just so theres not to much chrome. i prob wont do 35 cuz i dont wanna regear. i dont no will see what happens

[J-man67]

I hear you man, it all add's up quick. I had to wait 6 months for gears b/c of that. If you aren't going with 35's, stick with the 33's you have now. I have the extreme mt's too....love them so far.

um not sure yet gotta buy everything first and stuff, let you know

Am probably going to be in the minority, but I think chrome would be ok. If you had chrome body side mouldings it would be too much, but I think it would flow having all the chrome down low.

 

As far as gearing goes, my 4.10s handle my 35s, but I can't light them up on dry pavement (and am sure not winning any races). But I do have about a square foot of contact on each tire :-). If you have 3.73s - you need to swap.

 

Another consideration is whether you are 2wd or 4wd. Having to foot the bill for the front gearset and the labor might make you reconsider if you haven't check into it already.

as was said, re gear, and as for rims, black is the way to go

[standardb1ke250]

yea prob keep the 33's now just swap them over they look a little small with the lift but there like new...dont wanna have to waste another 1,000 on tires if i dont have to. plus regearing do thar down the road.

 

 

ok now rims do 20's or 18s and do a 5" backspacing?? and what offset how does that work

[Darkanion]

I think chrome wheels would look better with the red than black wheels would. Best of luck! Post pictures as you make progress!

[standardb1ke250]

Chrome and something in the neighborhood of a 20x9 with 5.5 backspacing.
