Wheel choices for 2500HD 2011+ ? to use with BDS 6.5"

topdj · March 30, 2013

Im getting a BDS 6.5" lift and I cannot use my current Denali 18" wheels without spacers. I want to go with a Nitto Terra size below. I see all kinds of wheels to choose from but want to keep the tires from sticking out too much. Any help or links is appreciated

or get some 1" wheel spacers...

you need a wheel somewhere in the 0 to +18 offset if you're looking to have the tire stick out a little or sit pretty much flush with the fender.

+18

-25

Those tires are a little on the small side for this lift, especially if your going conservative on the wheels. I would urge you to get a true 35x12.50 or even a 13.50 wide. I would also go with a 20" wheel, and let those bad boys out of the wheel well.

Hard part is telling the wife why the lift is more important than new kitchen cabinets, Gonna have a hard time winning that one.

I choose that tire because I noticed the other tires have a pressure limit on them of 50psi and I was worried about the TPMS going off. Im looking for the best offsets for it to stick out up to an inch on the 3/4 ton. Im not sure the offsets are the same for 1/2 ton as the 3/4 ton

I like this but need in my bolt pattern and offset looks pretty sharp

All three are 20x10 -24 offset 8x180

Check outhttp://rimzoneonline.com/ and I don't think there is a difference in how much the tire would stick out on a 1500/2500 if I understand you correctly.

Those are all good choices. You're limited greatly by the new bolt pattern right now. There just aren't as many choices. And offset is offset, regardless of the truck in this case.

Take my advice if you get BMF's don't get the death metal machined ones. Just get te death metal, they don't seal the bare aluminum on the machine ones mine are oxidizing like crazy and they won't offer any help at all. They don't have a solution for it either other than replace them with the same inferior product. I for one will not buy BMF's again, they look awesome but they didn't seal the aluminum. They aren't even that old and they are oxidizing...

Nice choices on rims by the way too
