Ok guys I've been traveling alot for work so haven't had a chance to install my zone 6" lift yet. Hoping to start once I get home but trying to get all my ducks in a row. What do you guys think of this rim and tire combo? I'm thinking about taking my chances with the 37s even tho I have 3.21 gears. Thoughts? Anybody running toyo open county rt tires? And wheels come in a -12 or -24 offset.. decisions decisions lol

Let me know what you all think

I went with 37s on mine with Bils at 2.8 and I have 3.21s. I have 18x9 -12 XDs on mine for my taste the most I'd go is -24. I'm glad I got 37s I went back and forth for a while but I'm glad I did em. They look perfect, I think 35'" with out the Bils up would've looked fine but with the extra 2.8" I think they would've looked small. Gas mileage isn't terrible, keeping my foot off on the hwy I can squeeze 17mpgs around town driving is about 14. Power is still there does downshift to 7th gear in hilly areas a bit but not bad enough to bug me. I opted to go with BFG KM2s they are a D rated tire but I wanted to keep the weight off as much as possible to keep as much strain off as possible. they only weighed 4lbs more than my Nitto Ridge grapplers in 295 70r 18.

I think that wheel will look great in either offset. Don't have any first hand experience with Toyo but alot of guys swear by em, can't go wrong there.

Thanks for your response. My other truck has the toyo mts and they have been great so that's kinda why I wanna try the rt. Does your truck sit perfectly level at 2.8 or is their any rake? Any idea how much your tires weigh? Believe toyos are 80 each. Do you have any pics of the stance of your truck from the side and front?

Thanks

If your not sure about 37's, try 325/60R20, they are 1" taller than a 35 and closer to a 13.50 in width so they'll look great on 20x10's. If I ever lower mine down, that's the size I'll run. TOYO has that size in the R/T, so does Falken, Goodyear and many more.

Here's a pic of my buddies 325's next to my 37's. Keep in mind mine has the weight of truck on the tires and his obviously don't so they will go down in height a little, but they are taller than a 35

I have about 5/8" or so of rake pretty much dead level. My tires weigh 74lbs.
