Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Sorry but this is a long post.
I will start by saying I have an 06 Mega 2500 4x4. I wanted to get 35's on it to make it look more like a 4x4 - so the search began!
I bought eagle 114's after lots of research and reading on this site and others - I went with the 18x9. 5 - they have 6" backspacing and a -22 offset.
My goal was to get 35" Toyo M/T's on my truck with these wheels. Lots of folks said you need lift to get 35's on with aftermarket wheels - so I ordered up the KORE Chase to get the needed 2. 5". I have been waiting for 3 weeks for my Chase to arrive :>( During the wait I had my Toyo's mounted on my 114's and had to look at them every day in the garage.
Well, I couldn't look any more at those big dogs sitting in the garage and pulled out the old air tools and lift. I pulled off the four roller skates and put on the four M/T's. I was amazed that I had a tiny rub on the front wheel well at about 60% turn. The rub was on the rear of the well on the plastic liner on the bottom - and such a minor rub that I did not even cut the liner - it would be about 2" max off the bottom. I even have the plastic molded mud flap that I thought for sure would be going - NOPE!
I just wanted to let all the people out there know that there is a wheel (Eagle 114) that will work with our truck and 35's - I will be posting pictures up soon - as soon as I can figure it out!
All I can say is that I am very happy with the look!
I am still going to put on the Chase - since the Boss let me get it already - might as well get me a sweet suspension!
I wanted to let everyone out there know my experience since I got so much help and advice here - this place is such a load of information it is amazing.
Good luck to you all and let me know if I can be any help!
Pictures to follow.
