Seeking new wheels - 18's
Hey All,
So i have my Lariat 250 crew cab 4x4 and want new wheels... my concern is that on my truck, I have front locking hubs... do I need specially designed wheels... want chrome 18's... any expert assistance out there? Also, if I want to match the stock wheels / tires, what width do I want? I believe I want to keep a narrow width... what are the advantages of keeping narrow vs going wider?

The caps I posted if you have a new 2011 the hubs are auto or manual.
tires are like women they come in all sizes and do some things better than others
I run a wide tire for the soft mud & sand in Fl that I hunt or unload my airboat, pull cow trailers etc. We unload the airboats just about anywhere do not use a ramp much. They suck in snow but do not have much of that in fla heheheh, !!!!!!!! Hell did freeze over last November !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watch the offset of the wheel the factory are negative so the wheel is inside the fender mine are positive so I can run 13 inch wide without hitting when you turn sharp. Then I had to put flares on "Just another thousand " is my favorite saying
Just find a local wheel shop that knows their trucks and they can help you, you pay a little more but have the option of "Nope that combo sucked lets try another"
Have fun
