I am buying these:

http://www.centerlinewheels.com/wheel_deals_detail.php?id=510&type=vehicle&data=11

Lemme know what you guys think!! I am not a fan of polished aluminum but is the best fit i could find for my truck. I was way more concerned with the backspacing than the look.

$250. 00 a wheel with shipping and center cap

I believe that I may go to those when it is time for new rubber. I think they look good and are close to stock BS. Get some pictures up when done. That may hurry my decision.

 

[mberry]

I'm not bashing you or your choices, but to me they look like stock Chevy wheels.

 

[HeavyHauler]

I think a rim with a deeper dish would look much better, but that's just my opinion. Centerline used to make the best looking set of 8-lug wheels that I've ever seen. I believe they were the HT33 Hellcat or something like that and at the time, they only came in 16. 5 x 9. 75.



I may see if I can find those and post a picture.

Sweet... now if they will just do a 18" and 20" in that wheel.

 

[Ereynolds72]

That's not a bad looking wheel. Is this a new product for them? Can you get them "hub-centric"?

Matt- You should call Centerline for a commission on that sale!

 

[Matt400]

While I did and still am pushing Nicole at CenterLine for that wheel I can't take credit cuz Vaughn MacKenzie was the one who originally found it.

 

[Bertram65]

Look nice, be interested to see them on the truck, I would not worry if they are not hub centric as the SRW are lug centric.

Its wheel buyin' season! I bought the 17x10 AE 114's on Tuesday... . I'm feelin' pretty cool right now! :-laf :-laf :-laf

Hey Matt I'll harass Nicole too



Way to go JARichard! Keep us posted

Hey Matt I'll harass Nicole too

Cool. . I just had a couple of email's with her about an 18 or 20 in the Crossfire and she said they plan to skip the 18 and go to the 20.

The 20 will be a 20x8. 5 with 5" back space

The only All terrain 20 that I know of to fit an 8. 5" wheel is the Goodyear AT/S

I would have rather seen a 20x9 with 6" BS so the TOYO and NITTO 20's would fit.



I suppose that wheel size would work, probably stick out just the same as the 18x9. 5's with 6" back space that are becoming popular, flares will be needed.



If I understood her correctly the 20x8. 5 with 5" BS will be available in their entire Wilderness line.

 

[Scrappy]

those rims look alot like the forged AL 19. 5's that rickson's is selling now. They look pretty good! Let's see 'em on a truck.

ME TOO!!! 20x8. 5's don't leave you with any real tire options... you are stuck so something at 285 or narrower... with the 9" you could run a 325/50 or 305/55 if you are wanting 33"s, and a 325/60 for 35's

 

[Matt400]

with the 9" you could run a 325/50 or 305/55 if you are wanting 33"s, and a 325/60 for 35's

In know. . I would have liked the 305/55 Terra Grapplers.



Just to clarify. . that 20" size will be in all of there wilderness series but no Crossfire at this time.

 

[Vaughn MacKenzie]

I thought about 305/55/20s but there is a rig at work with that size and they look too wide and low-profile to me. If I had a 4x2 I'd consider it but wouldn't like the look on a 4x4.



If I could get 18s then 285/60/18" is the only tire I'm interested in, or better yet 285/65/18 BFGs, otherwise if I did the 17" rims I'd stick with 285/70/17. Vaughn

 

[JARichard]

I wasn't looking to buy rims at all!! My chrome clad rims are coming apart and at 339 a pop plus shipping it just wasn't worth it. I knew before i could finish off my next set of tires i would need 2 more rims. These were the only 17" rim with a close backspacing to stock. I really HATE polished aluminum.

As for tires i think i am gonna end up going with 285 BFG's this time. I really wanted to put 285 Toyo's but the Toyo dealer reccommended to stay BFG. I just hope the 285's sit better on the rim and don't wear out the centers like the 315's. Rims should be in next week. I can't get the raised white letter 285's until July 15th national backorder.

I hope you don't regret asking for my opinion, but WHY are you buying wheels?



90% of the aftermarket wheel installations I have seen are WRONG-- the wheels are screwing up the trucks geometry, hurting longevity of bearings, hubs, steering stuff, and suspension.



Better to stick with the stock wheels. If you just want a bigger tire, stick with a size that works on stock wheels. If you MUST ditch the stock wheels, looks VERY carefully at offset, backspacing (the two are not the same), Hubcentricity, type of lug seats, bead angle, etc.

Yes, the lug nuts are tapered but the OD of the hub is 4. 75" and the ID of the wheel or centerbore is 4. 77". Our wheels are hub and lug - centric.

those centerlines were designed to fit our dodges... they have 6" backspacing, and i don't think for even one minute about offset... offset only matters if you are going for wheels that are the exact same size. . the centerlines are . 5" wider, so the offset will be different but who cares??? i like those centerlines... i might consider getting a set of those and having them PC in black...
