[rws262]

I want to put these rims on my truck:

What kind of lift would i need, if any, for the wheel spacing? Anyone else have Mamba wheels on their truck and how are they?

 

here's a pic of the rims on the truck:

any specific tires recommended?

 

Thanks for the help.

Since it's got a pretty positive offset(+30mm), you could pull off those rims without any lift, but a leveling kit would be nice with those wheels. Mostly depending on what tires you go with though.

would those rims work with the stock Goodyear LT-2 tires?

If that +30mm offset is right, I don't see why not, they'll only stick out a tad more than the stockers. Now, the issue of the rim width, how wide are the stock 20in. rims?

I have no idea. The tires i have are Goodyear LS-2, 275/55 R 20 from factory. I like these rims but dont neccesarily like meaty tires. So i need to find out if the tires i have will fit on 9 inch wide rims?

Those tires are 10.8 inches wide, so they'll work.

Factory is 20x8.5 +31 offset

what is the opinion on the Goodyear LS2's? Are they a decent tire? Thinking about Pirelli ATR's from tirerack.com? Any suggestions/ experience with tires?

I have had crossovers with them, they are great on dry highways because they are quiet, however the grip isnt great but on a truck that doesnt really matter. In the rain they really arnt that great either and in snow just forget about it.

Look at the reviews on tirerack for street tires. I personally like the look of all-terrains or mud-terrains, especially if your getting black aftermarket wheel.

 

If your replacing the tires you should think about getting a bigger tire. Im about to pull the trigger on 275/60/20 Cooper Zeons

Agreed, street tires and black rims is a no-no. You have to have a good looking aggressive tire to pull off black rims, IMO.

Thanks for all the advice. Im very ignorant to all the tire/rim stuff.

Cooper Zeon LTZ's correct? What is the difference between 275/55/20 and 275/60/20. 20 is the rim size, 275 is the tire width. What is the 60?

60 is the aspect ratio.. it means 60% of the width.. or in your case 60%of 275 mm =165mm

 

 

the 55 series is a 32" diamter tire and the 60 series is a 33" diamter tire. You can run the 60 series tires if you install a leveling kit
