F-ing Wheels - What is up with the selection...

Ok, here is my dilemma. I am running new Ridge Grapplers (295/55R20) and am looking for new wheels. I want something all black without the ugly frickin silver rivets that are on what seems to be every damn model of wheel. When I find wheels that are solid black to my liking, the offset pushes the tires 2 to 3 inches outside the truck, which to me is ugly.

Soooooooo, anyone want to help me in this unbelievable dilemma ...

I am no expert in wheel offset and how it effects the the positioning of wheels so your expertise is appreciated. If you have PICS, I would love to see them.

Are you looking for 20"? The SCS stealths are sweet with no bolts. +12 offset seems close to what you are looking for. https://www.stealthcustomseries.com/products/stealth-6-model?variant=26571912899

 

I like. The kid at Discount said I should be looking for a 36 offset. Does that sound right?

 

Ignore the dirt, but the fuels I have don't push the tires out much. They sit pretty close to flush. Fuel vectors, does have the "rivets" but they are black and blend into the wheel quite well.

 

I think that will sit inside the fender-well. I think +25 is about flush. The +12 should be <=1in outside the wheel well.

 

Thanks Bobbilly. Those look great.

 

I forgot to add. I looked at a few Black Rhino wheels with a 25 offset and they told me they would still out 50mm which is close to 2 inches.

 

These are real F-ing wheels I thought

 

HAHA!

 

295's on +25 offset will stick out this much.

 

Joonbug, that is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!!!!

 

Mine will be up for grabs shortly. 20x8 +60 offset Toyota Carve wheels . Powder coated black satin. On 275/60/20 BFG Ko2's with TPS sensors and lugs. Currently running 1.25 Spidertrax spacers as well that gets me to a +28 offset I was told. Basically even with your fender.

 

This is what -12 looks like. About 1.25 past fender

 

-12 or +12?

 

+12

You're right. Had to look em up. They only make -12 in 17s

 

I agree about the rivets. Enough already with that crap. There is like 1 out of 20 without rivets available now.

 

-25 offset about 3 inches past fender for sure

 

Why not just paint your stock wheels black. All black wheels look the same if you move more than a few feet away anyway, haha.

Some of you must be shopping at different places than I do. I was recently shopping for wheels (for my wife's black Nissan van). I wanted black wheels with silver accent around the edge. I didn't like Method because they don't seem to make hub centric wheels. Most wheels that have the offset I wanted were all black. I finally ended up with American Outlaw Bunker.

 

Shit ..... Now I am feeling guilty

 

Is that a hurse? JK bro...looks good.

 

That's one of the things we hear. Some people call it the FBI mobile. Most common response? WHAT IS THAT THING?

 

Just tell them it's the official family mobile command post

 

Haha, that's a new one. I gotta use that.

 

they're wrong. 25 offset will sit pretty flush with your fenders, maybe stick out less than half an inch.

 

Man, that is good to hear. Never in my life did I think buying wheels would be this difficult....

 

That's why I'm a part of this forum! I don't trust salesmen/women. All they know is what they read in the brochures, the rest is speculation LOL

Much rather the word of a guy who actually has/had first hand experience

 

Law323, that is no joke. The shit they spew is amazing. Half the time I bite my tongue and shake my head.

 

you ain't wrong!

the things they'll say for a sale!

of course, there are those that fall for it, hook, line and sinker.

 

Check your local laws. In PA, you can't have tires stick out beyond the fender (even though I see people driving crazy vehicles all the time). You could probably be okay with 25 mm offset without fender flares. If you go lower (I have 18 mm), you probably want some fender flares.

I have four children. My middle son (13 y.o.) is already 5' 9" and wears size 13 extra wide shoes. He was the bottle neck for Sienna. When he was no longer able to seat in the third row seat comfortably, we had to trade in for something bigger like Nisssn (my daughter and youngest son get car-sick, so they had to ride in the second row).
