Help me choose a wheel - Can't decide.

Mossyoakglock · January 7, 2015

So I'm thinking I want new wheels for my truck but I am having a hard time deciding. I have a 2" level kit and they will be 20x9 with +20 backspacing. Thinking of going with the new BFG AT KO2 in 275/55R20, maybe 275/60R20.

Which do you like better? I did have more but have narrowed it down to these three. The Hostage is the Antracide grey but would consider it in black too.

i'm an oe type of guy, i have yet to find after market wheels that I like as much as what oe has come out with in recent years.

That's why I'm leaning towards the 3rd option. It is from OEWheels.com but it is a GM wheel. I might just get new tires first and then go from there. Still can't decide if I want to go with 275/55's or 275/60's.

Personally I love the look of the 20-22" stock wheels for a level. I am not a big fan of aftermarket wheels without a lift. A nice level with good looking stocks and some beefy wheels gives the truck a mean but classy look. Aftermarket wheels without a negative offset just don't look like they should, looks more like an attempt at a budget lift.

The only thing I would consider is one of the Escalade replicas out there ion 20-22's, I see them on trucks from time to time and they catch the eye nicely.

I actually like all 3 options, but I voted for the OE replicas because I think they'll look best with your setup. They should also allow you to run the 275/60's, since they'll have a more conservative offset/backspacing.

I plan on getting XD Series Rockstar 2 17' rims with -12 off set and Nitto terra grappler m/t 285/70/17 tires.

Replicas in a 22" flavor. 33x12.50 Toyo MT. Close thread.

OE vote here too. In a 20 though as you're planning. Don't listen to ^^^ this guy.... Although the Toyo MT is a good call.

What is with everyone obsessing over large wheels? Anything over a 20 inch looks like crap. 22's with 33's looks like a ricer car with rubber band tires, no sidewall! Wheels with a huge deep dish look like crap too. Don't have your wheels sticking half a foot out of the well either unless you want scratched paint and yearly wheel bearing changes. Anything on the positive side is good, +18 is perfect on these trucks.

I vote for the Hostage, which is a very nice wheel. Keep your wheel weight down too, as that will affect your get up and go factor. I would suggest an 18, but definitely don't go over 20 inch, unless you want a 60 pound wheel with a 70 pound tire, and a pig truck!

Don't sugar coat it. Tell us how you really feel [emoji38] although I am a fan of lots of rubber.

My vote is for the 2014-2015 split spoke '18 OEM wheels. Not a fan of any after market wheels. I love the way mine look.

Because we like the look and don't buy into the antiquated ideology spouted about harsh ride and rubber band tires. And some of us have actually owned 22" wheels... There was a time when it was all about 15s, and People used to say the same thing about 17s. Then 18s, then 20s. Just let it go man.

Love the Boost!

The Fuel's will definitely standout. I also like the Rockstar xd wheels - http://4wheelonline.com/rockstar-wheels.227301 though looks like they are common nowadays especially on jeeps.
