    Um. Because it's like choosing an engagement ring to make her happy to show everyone else, she said 'yes'? Because your truck came with a completely serviceable set that you want to spend almost a thou$and dollars to replace. And they better be seriously, beyond question, worth it?!! :notsure:

    'Cause a thou$and buys a lot else, and they better be f'ing perfect for you to justify this additional expenditure on a brand new truck....

    Welcome, and good luck with that, from San Diego!

    SCS wheels look Less flashy but still very unique and high end. I’m super picky about wheel appearance and after shopping for over a year, I jumped on the RAY10s when they were released.

    How do you want to use your truck? Serious offroading or staying on pavement? Do you want an offroad look or something more street? Do you tow? It will help to choose wheels by narrowing down what you are after.

    I just picked out new wheels. I didnt want the offroad look I just wanted something nicer and more aggressive. I don't like all the fake bead locks and rivets and doo dads. I went with a 20" wheel for mostly street driving, since I don't need the extra sidewall with a 17" or 18" wheel.

    Once I narrowed down what I wanted and how I wanted to use it the choice was a little easier. I went with 275/60 tires to get a little more size and it went nicely with the +25 offset I chose. On stock suspension it rubs a touch on the drivers side when backing down a hill with the wheel hard to the right.

    I really like those BFD wheels in either flat or grey. They don’t offer a 20” yet though I don’t think...

    Can't help with wheel selection because wheels are a personal choice ... what I like, might not be what you like.

    But what I can do is show you are a few different set ups I've had so far to help with any questions you might have regarding fitment issues ...

    Bone stock - OEM TRD wheels +60 275/65/18 - no lift, no issues
    OEM TRD wheels +60 with 1.25" spacers (making me at about a +28) 275/65/18 - no lift, no issues


    Fuel Nutz wheels +20 295/60/20 no spacers - leveled 3/1", cleared the cab mount by 1/2" but rubbed on flaps and liner (flaps removed and heat massaged the liner) and the tires stuck out nicely.


    Good luck!
