Just installed the Rancho 4" on the truck. Looking to see if you guys think I should do rims, XD Addicts or Monsters. Or tires, Nitto M/Ts or maybe BF KM2s. Of course thers the 3rd option, give the wife extra back rubs and just do both at the same time. But seriously, if I had to choose, what do you guys think, rims or tires.

i like the truck the way it sits to be honest. id do tires before rims for sure. throw some plasti-dip on the rims if you want something different.

thats what i plan on doing soonish.

The lift looks good! If I were you, I would definitely go for some black wheels. I'm not a fan of 2-tone trucks. Your mirrors, brush guard and side steps are all black so some black wheels would be fitting.

Thanks for the input so far guys. I am quickly becoming a fan of the black rim look. Anyone have expierience with that plastic dip stuff, I've heard of it but havent seen it in person yet.

If done right plastidip looks good and will last several years from my observations and experience. I recently put black xd hoss wheels on my truck (9 wide wheel instead of the stock 8.5) and a few days later was already pricing different tires because the lowered quality of the ride.

I personally would wait until the tread you have now is low and buy the tires and wheels at the same time if you want to go biger on the wheel size. If not, new tires and plasitdip is prob your cheapes option.

I am totally agree with you. You are 100% good here that your mirrors, sweep secure and side steps are all black so some black tires would be suitable.

I wish I knew you were looking for some black wheels...I pretty much just gave away my XD Misfits to a co-worker.

I rocked the Rancho with factory wheels for a few months and like the look but wanted the wider stance of aftermarket wheels. My Misfits were -0 and my new wheels are -12 and perfer them over the -0. I would say go with the Addicts just because Monsters are just about as common as *ockstars. :lol:

I'd suggest tires first as well to complete the "lifted" look. And [MENTION=41727]RadoRage[/MENTION] does make a good point if your tires still have plenty of tread left. However, instead of waiting, you may want to look into trading your tires in on some new ones. After I lifted and changed tires, I got $300 credit towards my new tires for my old tires and free mounting/balancing for the new ones. It may be worth looking into.

BTW, Truck looks great with the new lift. You've come along ways with your truck since first joining the site.

This weekend I found there is a pride issue between being "Stuck" and "Hung". Stuck leaves you on the frame, Hung is being caught by your "Pumpkins". Don't get caught by your pumkins, add some tire height for that little "extra" clearance.

Well I had my stock rims and my Duratracs on Craigslist. Supposedly I'm meeting a guy on Wednesday who wants to buy them. So as long as he comes through with the cash I will be ordering rims and tires on Thursday. As of right now I'm leaning towards Nitto trail grappler m/t's size 295/70/18 with XD addicts or spy's. it seems like I've seen the spy's with a chrome center cap, anybody know if You can get a black center cap? I like the accents on the spy's but that chrome center cap is just a little much.

I don't like the drop stars "monster" wheels. Frackin heavy. As for the km2's, go for nitto. They'll last longer in comparison to the separation tendencies the km2's have.

Ok, so here's the latest. I've gone through so much B.S. with Craigslist trying to sell my rims and tires I could start a whole new thread about it. So I decided to order my rims and tires today and worry about selling my stuff later. The shop I deal with is good enough to order Spy's and Addicts for me to see which ones I want, both in 18x9 with -12 offset. And the tires, well, you all can wait till next week to see pictures. Just picked up the truck tonight from getting detailed. Man did it need it. So after rims and tires next week I'll take some real good pics and get em posted.

Definitely go with the tires first. The lift looks great. Bigger tires will really set it off. Rims can wait, but them I'm a fan of stock rims anyway.
+1 what he said!
