GEN 3 (2022+) Wheels and Tires Photo thread

Rough country N3 2” leveling struts and Icon shocks in rear with ARB 2865 spring. Have a C4 bumper in rear and haven’t had time to install the icon fronts yet.

 

Just put the new shoes and Wescott lift. 18x9.5 20mm offset looks perfect. Fuel Ammos & 35” Nitto Grapplers.

 

Beautiful truck outcast…The Westcott is a very nice kit. Tons of trucks have them and no issues. I would recommend the black.
Having bare aluminum over time will corrode. Unless you’re in AZ or Texas like me get the powder coated black. Takes a little longer but it’s worth it.
Especially with road salt in the winter and bare aluminum they would get eaten literally lol.
Good luck
Tell the wife you felt really bad when it bottomed out because she looked scared so your taking care of her lol

 

Very nice truck Rays

 

Nice looking truck. I think that's my favorite color.

What shop? I'm in the east bay and would be interested.

Thanks,

Thanks Jinkx, appreciate the advice! I like that excuse! Great way to put a spin on it

 

Do you have a leveling or lift kit on it?

 

So I’m thinking after the 3.5 RC lift, I’ll put on 1.5” spacers or 2” and run the defender flares. Thoughts?

 

Brother I would just check with your dealership. Would be a pain if you had to remove them everytime u wanted a oil change or tire rotation
Just a thought
The other thing is I talked to RC because I too was going to do there 3.5 lift and asked them since both were the same price what they recommended 3.5 or the 4 inch kit.
i was surprised when they said do the 4 inch because with the spindle change the suspension angles are much better on the 4 inch over the 3.5…
Now obviously the 3.5 is fine but they were both the same price so I asked.

Ended up with the 4 inch and I’m very very happy. It def maintained the factory angles because my alignment was dead on post install and one plus if I ever decide to go 6 inch lift it uses the same spindle. Basically you just change the front spacers.
I also like using the factory springs and front struts. It rides just like factory. Smooth.
Again just an idea. Can’t go wrong with either kit. My shop was very impressed with the RC parts. They said well made and simple install…

 

What’s your offset now on your wheels?

 

Thanks!

 

Love this! Your truck is my inspiration, going to get the same wheels and level kit. Thanks!

 

Since it’s asked a lot fig this may help…
Tires are Nitto Recon Grapplers on
Fuel Rebel 6 wheels 20x9

 

In other words getting into single car garage will be a challenge or not at all.

 

A fellow Duratracs guy !

 

I’m down to two options 20x9 +30 offset. Can’t seem to pick between the two. First one is gloss and second is satin. Who has an opinion? Wish I could figure how to post the pictures instead of the links.

For me the 5 star design doesn’t look right with our 6 lug pattern

 

Go with the lighter one

 

If you were to go 11.5 width vs 12.5 width would that benefit you here? I ask because I'm new and lookint at 2 different wheels, 1 is +18 and the other is +1. However, I'm looking at 11.5 width.

 

whichever is lightest

 

11.5 you will be fine with either wheel.
I like a little poke. If you want less poke and def clear everything including mud flaps go +18 in the 35x11.5x18 or 35x11.5x20 depends if you want more sidewall or not. Either one will look great.
20 and 18 on the same style wheel. I will say I loved my 18s but once the 20s were installed the bigger rim really pops!
I noticed no diff in ride quality. My truck is ultra smooth.

 

18

 

The 20 inch wheel with the 35 just looks like a beast in person. Hard to explain have to see it. Again if it’s for street I’d go 20 for off-road def 18

 

Yeah I'm trying to build this truck with the Fuel Trigger d757s which are +1. However, I've been a little apprehensive about the poke so I found these KMC Tecnic last night that look similar in +18.

Fuel Trigger in +1

KMC in +18

 

That set up right there looks pretty darn good.

Cd3 here’s the thing and don’t say never because I did that and it cost me!
If you ever ever think you will go beyond a 3 inch lift get the 20s…
I had 18s with a Ready Lift 3/1 and loved it. Then I got bored and saw a few 4 inch lifts luv luv. You wouldn’t think an inch could make that much difference lol it does…
So I ordered my 4 inch all happy then found out the 18s wouldn’t clear the Tie Rods with the new spindles!!!! Argh

I got lucky and sold the 18s to get 20s without the wife fining out lol.
In the end it all worked out because I also was able to find the light weight tires from Nitto and once I saw the 20s installed I was surprised how much better it looked in my opinion!
Again the TRDs as the wife call my truck lol have the Amazing ability to make a large rim or large tire look normal like it was meant to be there!

love that fuel wheel you showed!
Here’s a pic of my girl with 18s & 20s
Plus the 3 inch and 4 inch lift!
Can I get an Amen lol

 

Yeah I am sold on going with 20" wheels, I'm more going back and forth worried about the poke - +1 offset in the Fuel (which are the ones I really want) and so found these comparable KMC in +18 offset

 

If you have any worries about rubbing or the poke hurting your paint go with the +18s. The +1 do have a more aggressive look.
Comes down yo what if any concerns you have!
Either one looks great. Even the +18 has enough poke to still look good. The +1 is just a more aggressive look. No wrong decision here.
If you can’t decide then play it safe and go +18
