Anyone running deep lipped 18" wheels?!

I'm trying to decide if I should pull the trigger on 18x9 - 12 or if it will be way to much poke rocking a 2.5 inch level from dealer

Found a few more pics from before the lift was put on.

Damn!! That's awesome lol i have been tossing the idea of a 4 inch suspension lift but is it normal for it to only lift the rear about half of what the front is

Yep, because the ass end is already sitting higher than the front. If it lifted the front and back the same height then the truck would still sit with the back end higher than the front. Typically a lift kit will level out the truck

Everyone runs 20s now... And I want more tire then rim but I do enjoy a nice set of 20s as well

Couldnt agree more, Im planning on something very similar. 4in pro comp lift with 33 mud terrains with 17 or 18 in wheels. I guess from my research that i found, is that its hard to find a 18in wheel with a deep lip without having at least a 6in lift. Apparently the backspacing makes it rub with anything shorter.

The Fuel's I'm running have a -12 offset with a 4.37" lip. Don't know how big of a lip you are looking for but I think these are just about perfect. 20's are nice but tires are way cheaper for an 18 and I like the look with more rubber than wheel.

Nice wheel/rubber ratio choice. These are on my list of possibles. I almost need to see them in person to gauge how they look with the Tungsten. Plan is to do a 2.5" level with these wheels and a 275/70r18 for now. I wonder if that backspacing will be an issue.

These wheels look awesome in person, especially in the sunlight. Try asking your local discount tire if they can get one in for you to take a look at. It never hurts to ask and I doubt they will turn you down if it means they may make a sale by letting you see the wheels.
