Tire/Wheel size w/lorenz bilstein lift

[SSalzer]

I'll be putting the Lorenz bilstein kit on my truck. I plan on putting Diamo 17 karat 18x10 wheels on it. I would like to use the Toyo AT tires. I'm not sure what size I need. 325 60 18 or 325 65 18? Or do I need a different size all together? Anyone with that lift, can you give me some advice? I'm still not sure what all the numbers mean on tire sizes. I think the 60 and 65 is the width of the tire??? Thanks.

The 60-65 is the percent of section width to height. With that wheel you will be limited in tire height due to the backspacing/offset of the wheel. If you must use that wheel have the tire shop mount one on the front and do a fit test before mounting the entire set.

I have a Rev Tek Leveling kit that yielded me 2. 5 inches of lift. I have 325/60/18 Toyo open country AT and its tight by the lower front in plastic fender well but has never made contact. My wheels are the Eagle Alloy 114"s 18 by 9. 5 with a 6 inch back space and the look is perfect. Back space is crucial with these trucks. Go to the Toyo web site click on specs and youll see the differences in sizes. Good luck!

18x10's probably will not fit.

You want 18x8. 5's with 6" backspacing. Your tire size looks ok depending on the wheel you end up with. The 10" wheels are the issue.

Like bob4x4 said. Make the tire/wheel shop earn thier $ and test fit it for you if you want to go with an odd ball wheel size. 17x8. 5 with 6" backspacing is what your shooting for.

Yup I had to get 18x9 with 33"13. 50's with the Lorenz Level Kit.

My issue is that I want black and silver wheels. I don't want all black or all chrome. Dick Cepek has those DC1's that I like but not in 18". The Diamo's are the only other wheels I really liked. I think the BS is 4. 5". Does anyone know of any others I should check out?

They make a Dale Earnhardt Jr. wheel that is two tone in 18"

Look for them.

 

[Sky]

These are 18's 18x9

Little closer look.

SKY- That is the exact look I'm going for!! Your truck is awesome!!! Are they Diamo wheels? If not, what kind? Do you think you can PM me on your set up (tire size, etc. ) Do you have any rubbing issues? Are those ATS fender flares? Please let me know all the details. Thanks.
