I have always like the look of the stock wheels with meaty tires on them....I think i saved this pic from someone on this site...

That's mine, 6" bds lift with stock Laramie wheels with 1.5" spacers. They stick out just past the flares. I would like to find a nice set of 17's. Probably go to 37's for next set of tires.20200424_183126.jpg

I like the look of the stock Laramie 20's as well - I'm a fan of how clean and not "over done" it makes the truck look. My only wish is I could run them without wheel spacers after installing the lift at 35's.

I see lots of rim companies coming out with brushed finishes in cast wheels - something that could only be found on super expensive forged wheels. I think that finish would look great on your color.

I have always kind of frowned on spacers myself as well. But truth is, they are extremely durable as long as installed correctly.


Just watch wistlindiesel’s video he makes with spacers on top of spacers on top of spacers....when you can repeatedly jump a 1 ton truck on 16” wide wheels with spacers and they dont break, thats saying something. The axle might get bent and destroyed, but the damn spacers dont break.

Check these out:

https://racelinewheels.com/collections/truck-suv/products/935g-defender

Raceline Defender comes in 17x9 -12 or 0, 18x9 -12 or +18, and 20x9 +18.

I’m going 18x9 -12 and 35s once I need to replace my current wheels/tires.

I saw the Raceline “Clutch” on a member’s truck and the (same) Gray matched the Granite pretty darn close. This might be another option . . . and they’re decently lightweight and not crazy expensive.

Looked more proportionate without the aev flares IMO. Looks like you need a set of 46’s now lol.


What was the suspension setup in the first pic (obviously big spacers and not the aev/thuren setup, but...), as in how much height compared to stock?
