Big Ride -

I like those ATZ's. What backspacing are you running with those wheels. Looked on their website but it didn't say. Reason I ask is it looks like your tires are sticking WAY outside of the truck! How many inches would you say they are outside of the wheel well??

Nice looking rig though -

The Welds are my favorite. They are as shiney as you want them.

BIG RIDE - I am also interested in the ATZ's. I've heard they are impossible to balance. Tell me thats not true. I'd like to get a set.

"I hate trucks w/big flashy pimp wheels that look like they belong on an Escalade or Hummer or even a car."

Then you go on to ask where you can get some pimp wheels to fit your Superduty, yourself

Are you kidding me?

Why in the world do you want to put 20" rims on your ford superduty truck in the first place? There is no practical reason or purpose from them. You not going to do any serious offraoding with 20"s or hauling gravel, or pulling a horse trailer or someone out of a ditch with 20's. The only reason to go to big rims is they ride better. did you buy your truck for the ride quality? Like you first said, other than to draw attention away from the Escalades, with you new sweet flashy pimpu lookin 20" rims in the mall parking lot cruise off. I am sorry I just dont get it. Guess I am much a hillbilly.

Bigger rims do not ride better. Quite the contrary. Less sidewall, means its a firmer ride. While I went with 16" wheels for my 37s, a guy I work with went with 39.5" Iroks and the new RockStar 20" Wheels. He went with the 775 Rockstars. Although I do like the 765 Deisels.

33" ATZs

In response to the couple of posts above ^^^^^
Tires protrude 2 7/8" at rear fenderwells, and the protrude 3 5/8" at the front fenderwells. Backspacing measures in at around 6", and it's a good thing too... brakes on these things are HUGE.. .

The tires ARE tricky to balance, they are heavy, heavy. Took a couple of attempts to get them dialed in just right, but all is good now. They aren't all that noisy, and they DO handle superbly, nice wide footprint, corners like a dream, and YES, the lower profile sidewalls ride a HELLUVA lot better than stock------ BAR NONE!

Are you sure that the BS is 6"? Doesn't sound right because they are sticking out so far. Might be right if the wheel was 12" wide but the factory wheels are around 5, I believe, and if those were 6 then they would be further into the wheel well then the factory 18's. By the pics and measurements, it sounds like it would be more like 3.5 BS making it stick farther out. Don't mean to make it sound like you are wrong but it just doesn't sound right to me. Regardless, still looks awesome!

Have you tried those tires in the snow??

I run Eagle 20x10s with nitto MTs, the Eagle rims are pretty cheap and made in the US.
