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

Those wheels are going to look good with the blue, and throw some black N Fabs on there for steps. I had some and loved them, http://4wheelonline.com/NFab.91166

 

I had the black cab length version

Plans sound good. Trails look much better than Terra's anyway, and the wheels are just alright for me. They need some lip.

Well I already have full running boards 5" SS here is the photo of the actual 8 lug wheel no they dont have a lot of lip but the spokes are not flat. http://www.twt.co.za/wheels/207/black-rhino/moab -12 offset

Truck is in the shop as of today, I hope I can keep my factory painted mud flaps, should have it back lunchtime on , monday. I test fitted the wheels to see how much stuck out and it was perfect, I just couldn't drive it with them on I had like no clearance

Bet you're excited, looking forward to some pics man

They will stick out further than that once your new knuckles are on.

no they should not the 2500hd 2011+ maintain factory wheel tracking that was one reason I went with the BDS, I stopped at the shop today and gave the 2 mechanics 20$ each a tip or should I say incentive. I'm sure they barely get that an hour. They sure were happy.

I just stopped and measured mine at the shop. BDS 6.5" kit with 3" blocks about 46.5" all the way around. its headed to the Alignment shop tomorrow. I was at 40 front 41 rear before the lift 1.5" of the lift is the tires. so I only gained about 4.5" I think I will be ordering some 4" blocks.

On a good note the CV's are almost flat so are the the tie rods, so it should handle very good for a lifted truck.

Looking good

[blackout07]

Looks really good. Your sitting low because the shop didn't crank your keys. It looks to me from the pics like it has some rake already, so if you're going to get bigger blocks I would crank the front up a couple of inches before the alignment.

They took my factory painted mudflaps off the front. Gee this lift is designed for 37" tires and I can't leave my GM flaps on with 35's

The cap and the factory takeoffs are in the bed so I have about 550lbs in the bed
