How wide are our stock wheels and bolt pattern?
looking for some rims and tires and trying to figure out the best setup. I dont want too big. 17" is too small and I think 20" is somewhat kind of big for what I need. Our trucks are pretty high actually stock considering that a 6" lift on a chevy is about the same height as ours. So I think the 2" leveling is fine but the 17" rims and 33" tires are still small. So either 35/12.5/18 or 3/13.5/18. Whats the main difference? The 13.5 seem to be alot more money then the 12.5, I guess the only difference is that the 13.5 just stick out more? Im looking for somethings thats going to look pretty bling and a comfortable smooth highway ride but then awesome traction in the snow/west/sand.

17"= no bling, good traction, cheap
20"=BLING, not as good traction, too expensive
18"= JUST RIGHT

Get wheels with these specs:

* 18"x9", 8 on 6.5" bolt pattern
* 5.5" min., 6" max. backspacing

Mount up a 35" diameter tire no wider than 13" and with just a level kit you're set.

ok, well im looking for some PRO COMP wheels and tires, MUST BE CHROME, whats a popular one people run on our trucks? so you're saying w/ the 2" leveling, 35/12.5/18 is the most I should go? I like your truck btw, but I dont think my color which is the molten red (dark burgundy) would pull it off good w/ black rims, I NEED CHROME!!!

I like series 6001 but the wheel is 18x9.5

These will be perfect, but I heard Pro Comp bailed on the forged wheel scene...

Ehhh what does he know.






J/K Pauly. It seems like im saying the same thing all time. This needs to be stickied up at the top or something. No more than 9" wide with 5.5-6" of backspacing is what these trucks love.

What are the specs on the H2 Wheels?? They seem to fit pretty good, look pretty good and you really can't beat the price.

Someone should put together a aftermarket fitment guide for all the available add-on goodies. Show what bolts right up, what needs a little finessing, and what flat requires extensive modifications. That would be cool.....
