3rd gen Aftermarket wheel thread

i'll toss another up for the retros.
found the wheels in Idaho for 40 bucks and crusty as can be but they cleaned up nice as hell if you like the old school look.

Funny, I had a set of those wheels 15+ years ago and hated them. Now I look at them and think they actually look pretty damn good.

Solid man, and the blue is so rare!!! Love it. I'm looking at these right now as we speak and by the time you answer they prob. will be sold out...but...

Do they rub at all?

I had a 3" Toytec previously and I had Ray10s but they were just 16x8s with -12mm offset. No rubbing whatsoever. Wondering about that -38mm.

Thanks!
 
They are always sold out! Got this set used!

Minor rub full clock reverse. About to install solomotorsports LCA’s and 1.5” body lift. If these clear, will move up to 305’s for next tires. Will post results.

Believe those are the same specs as my wheels and similarly had to do a bit of trimming and hammering. For what it's worth a buddy of mine who also had the same specs told me a while back to get some aftermarket UCAs to help caster the wheels out some more, since you lose a bit of adjustability when you lift with OEM control arms. Currently waiting for a good day to install some JBAs to test this out and confirm.

Those are near identical specs to what I just posted above. With my SPC UCAs I have zero rubbing. I don't recall what setting they're on, but positive castor was added when it was aligned.

That is what I just put on mine and they were a great fit. Very happy! You will like them.

Thanks man!

I'd love to take them off but I have a feeling my wife might struggle to get into the truck after I went up with the lift and bigger wheels/tires.

I do love the look without them. Maybe someday...

They say beauty is based on symmetry, but you could remove the step board from your side and leave it on the wife's. You'd be seeing your side the most as you walk up to the driver's door, while she will have the step. I know.... I'd feel weird about it, too but you could give it a try.

Some sliders would do the trick too! :guitar2:
