Big rims?

[redneckryder]

i am thinkin about puttin new rims on the truck, but i dont know what size looks good without being gawdy. anyone got any rims bigger than 15's on a 4x4? pics would be awesome!! thanx

 

[flareside_thunder]

I think 17's would probably look good on it.

I've seen them around my area with 17-18's not too bad. wouldn't go any bigger than that though.

Personally, I don't think these trucks look too well 'blinged' out. I don't have pics on hand, but I believe bucks77ford has 16" rims on his, mine has 16.5" rims, and I believe ranger429's bronco has 17" rims on it. So search through the galleries if you want to.

Here are Buck's...I believe they're 16" Eagle Alloys:

Here are Ranger's...I believe they're 17" Dick Cepek DC's:

Here's my 16.5" Alcoa's:

And just for reference...here's some 15's on my Bronco:

You've got to be kidden, 30's ? guess that leaves about an inch for rubber, and air.

I even heard Shaq had some custom 32" rims made for one of his H2's.

They look pretty arrogant to me . Can they even turn a corner

 

[flareside_thunder]

For some that's the most metal in the entire vehicle!!!!

I think 17's would be about the highest I'd go, but that's my opinion. I actually really like a smaller wheel like 15 with a larger tire. I would have done that, but I needed at least a 16 for my F250 to clear the front calipers.

Thanks for posting my pic Ben.

Yeah...I always like seeing the extra meat of the tire...just makes it look meaner I think. If I ever switched, I'd go to a 16" rim from the 16.5" purely due to bead problems...but I've been happy so far. As for having to go with 16" rms Buck...you ever talked to Ed (75F350)...he runs 15"ers on his one tons...it basically comes down to a lot of caliper grinding...so it is possible.

Thanks for posting my pic Ben.

I didn't think you'd mind...and it gave me an extra opportunity to drool over the truck and give her a little extra plug.

I got 16.5s on the 72 with 33x12.5s. Got em for 60 bucks so what the hell.

I have talked with Ed a few times. He's giving me some advice right now on things I need to look at trying to tune my E85 Carb so it runs a little better when the engine is cold. I've also discussed the cross over steering setup. He is full of info when it comes to stuff the has to do with axles and steering, along with alot of other stuff.

Yeah...I wish he would come over here more often. I tell ya, if it wasn't for him, the front axle on my Bronco would still be Fubar'ed.

Very great looking trucks / Bronco's! I'm drooling over here!!

 

[70torino429]

Wow, those 30+ inch rims are ridiculous lol. The sad thing is all these people that spend thousands of dollars on rims and stereo systems, neglect to do things like basic maintenance, tuneups etc..heck most of em leave the stock gears in there too..

you got some nice trucks UTfball, im jealous lol.

I think it all depends on what the rest of the truck looks like, how high it's lifted, and how big of a rubber you want to run. 20" wheels aren't that ridiculous on a tire that's 35" or more. I realize you asked about 4x4s, but 20's and bigger can look good on a truck that's slammed if that's what your in to also.

WHAAAAT...where is Paul and what have you done with him...where's the dude that believes 'bling bling'=mallcrawler...But I'll admit, a tastefully done slammed vehicle can be set off by a good set of rims.
