New Wheels 18x9 -12 PERECT!

[SPDY ZR2]

I purchased the below wheels and they came out PERFECT! I included a few pictures along with the box showing the specs. The truck has a leveling kit installed which help with the overall appearance. I was able to use the stock tires that came on the truck. It looks 1000% better! Hopefully this info helps you guys.

Looks really good! They make the tires look bigger.

What kind of leveling kit did you install, looks really nice!

Yeah which leveling kit and how has the ride changed?

 

[Brkhrt]

SPDY do you think without a leveling kit the tire/rim combo you installed would rub?

Thanks! I had Allen tire Co. in Huntington Beach install the kit for me. Here is what they installed.

I don't think it will as the wheels got "pushed" outward from the fender with the -12 offset. Worse case scenario, you install the wheels and if they do rub... you can always add the leveling kit.

Super happy with the ride... I only noticed it's more "nimble" in the handling.

Thanks for heads up

They were good with installing? I wonder why 4 wheel parts and pro comp say not to use with these pickups that already come with 2” lift? Allen tire co felt comfortable installing? These are just questions I have before I move forward because looks great but what’s downside.

Well the kit says it won’t fit a trail boss or the AT4, but they did it anyway. Weird.

 

[Brkhrt]

I am sure they looked it through and figured it’s fine.

The installer I mean

Could you post up a picture of the CV joint angles?

OK, here's the pictures I JUST took. Remember guys, I'm only posting to show you what I did in hopes that it helps someone else out.
For me, the work is warrantied by Allen Tire, it looks spot on to me, rides perfect and handles great. In the end, that's all that really matters. Good luck.

They said worked great, and good install sounds like the way to go!

I have an update after emailing ready lift and looks like their website reflects the update that their 1.75” leveling kit is approved with alignment specs and the upper a arm will not rub the cool springs when wheel travel lengthens. Hope this helps.

Great choice on the wheels! The new stance looks awesome
