What size Centerlines do you have? I've been eyeing up the Wildcats but not sure what backspacing to get, I wouldn't mind the wheels poking out past the fenders up to an 1" but no more. How far do yours stick out? Thanks.

These are what I'm looking at.......
17x9 with 5.25" backspacing or
17x8.5 with 6" backspacing


Those Hankook tires look sweet the center tread looks much like the old Goodyear directional m/t's, do they have anything E rated?

LOL. Yeah I know. I am just about looks. I am not worried about making my dodge fast like you guys. I have exhaust, a K&N filter and a DiabloSport Power puck. Its all I need. I just want a good looking set of tires and wheels to offset my dodge from all the other ones. Make it look a little different. here are some pics of what my dangerous mind is considering.....

I just bought the ATZ's 2 weeks ago and love them so far. I was debating about the mud grapplers and the MTZ's as well but heard that the Grapplers are extremely loud and felt like jello when towing. I've heard great things about the MTZ's but that the ATZ's wear a little better and with how much they cost I figured that it will be worth it in the long run.

Go with the KMC's if your deciding on those 2 wheels. Also go with Toyo MT's. Quieter than every other tire, and will last longer. Are pretty agressive looking and do well in snow/mud/sand. Goodluck.

I have been looking at the Mickey Thompson MTZ's also. I am undecided. I have narrowed my search down on the wheels though. Either 20x10 Mazzi Hulks or 20x10 KMC Backseats. The tires will either be The MT MTZ's, teh Toyo MT's or the Nitto Mud Grapplers.

Appreciate your help guys.

My two cents. I love the toyo tires they are little more money but they ride awsome and they have lasted for ever. I have three trucks in my company the others are duramax's I have 35" AT on our dually for about 35000 miles now, they still right as if they were just put on and they are wearing real nice. Out other truck has 37" Mt and have 20000 miles on them and the same thing ride awsome and are wearing great. again my 2 cent There are lot of opitions to go with, I have found what works good for my trucks and dont ever see myselt changing. GOOD LUCK

I have the d-16's and mtz's, haven't had any problems with the diamo wheels, I like the toyo mt's I had on my ford, over the mtz's. Pics are in my gallery. Check out www.trucktoyzperformance.com they had some good looking dodges with different wheels and tire combos, there are a few on www.bayoucityoffroad.com also. Pm me if you have any questions.

I have heard nothing but good about the Toyo MT Tire. That will be my next tire....if these factory BFG's ever wear out! As for wheels, thats up to you man. personally, I like a more old school "beefy" look. I went with the Eagle 186's. To me, it doesn't look right with a 7000 + pound truck riding on wheels with pencils for spokes. just my 2 cents.

ProComp XAT's are far quieter, last longer, and out perform Toyos IMHO...and IMHE (In my honest experience??? lol).
