Need wheels help
Hey fellas. Over the past couple weeks I have done an extreme amount of work to my truck. I just got it back from paint I could not be happier. I am looking for a set of wheels. Looks like a lot of guys put 5x4.5 adapters on their trucks. I'm assuming that fits a bigger variety wheel. I want a classic wheel with a 5spoke in Gray. My question is what size offset wheel do I get I want to run 18s. A little bit wider in the rear than the front

4-inch BS in front, 4.75-inch BS in back.

The more important question is the tire size......

He's gonna need more backspacing then that with using adapters.

That's the resulting back space... his call on using math to figure out the spacer thickness.

Right. I just wanted to make sure he knew that before he spent a ****load of money on the wrong wheels.

Love that color and the rim choice. Thinking of going with a set like that for mine.

Offset 2? Offset 2 which way?

Regardless, I see a problem of it not being aligned right.
