Dick Cepek wheels

Ok been looking around and have found a set of dick cepek dc-1 wheels that i like. was wondering tho what size to get. want to stay as close to the stock size wheel as possible without having to put a lift on the truck or a leveling kit due to i use it alot for work. They won't stick out from under the fenders to far either never liked the look of fender flairs.

I have FC IIS and like them so far. About 500 miles on them. They are louder than the BFG AT KOs (Had these on all my work trucks)but look better on my fun truck. 285/70R17 - 33" x 11.50"

What size are your stock wheels and what size tire are you planning to run?

What size wheel are you wanting to run, 16", 17", 18"? That will help us choose your width and offset options.

valves, thanks for all the pics, but if you had read his post he's asking about WHEELS, not TIRES.

On a '99 you'll have no trouble with them sticking out, the offset is almost the same as stock on a '99. bldog's '05 has about 1.25" more backspace needed so that's why his stick out. Go with the 16x8 or 17x9 and it will be about the same as stock offset, the 10-12" wide ones will stick way out though.

The 16x8 DC-1 has 4" backspace, which is within 0.5" of the stock offset, so it won't stick out.

Yeah, the wheel will be just 1" wider than stock so they will fit. A 285 will fit a little better, but you won't have any problems running the 265s.
