Question Wheel recommendation for Rancho Lift...

I'm toying with the idea of adding a Rancho lift this winter or early spring. Of course, that requires wheels with a different backspacing, rendering my tactical edition wheels unusable.

I'm looking for wheel recommendations that would match my rig's look. Any suggestions? The wheels would have to have some black in them and be well-suited to off-roading.

I would personally go with a 17" wheel for better caliper clearance.

If it was me, I would look into something like the Cragar soft 8
Cragar 3978860 - Cragar Soft 8 Black Wheels - Overview - SummitRacing.com

There are very few aftermarket wheels I like the looks of but I actually do like the looks of the Helo HE791 MAXX 6
Helo Part W/P7917960312AA - Series HE791 Wheel by Helo

*edit
Also if you went with something like the Cragar Soft 8 or Pro Comp 98 posted above, you could use a set of H3T center caps.

Oh man!

A lift on your truck would be awesome.



I like the crager wheels a lot too... I played with the idea of putting them on my truck when I got new tires. They are very simple, no-nonsense wheels.

I'd like to throw a Rancho and beadlocks on it, but dang, 17" wheels will cost me. I just bought these 31575R16 BFG KM2 about 7 months ago. I may wait until they're worn more before I do it. Expensive change! Lift, wheels and tires!

What about running a wheel spacer to clear the new knuckles and keep the Tact wheels?
