Rims / Tires ??????

I was wandering if anyone knows a good website or two that shows big rims (20 +) with big tires (not the low pro's but the big meaty mudder look, not mud boggers though) I'm looking for a nice rim but everywhere I look the 20 's only come with low pro's.

Any suggestions

Also does anyone know how spacers work or do they harm anything
And are they a good idea if I wanted to just get bigger wider tires for the stock rims in order for the tire not to rub. What’s the biggest tire that will fit on a stock TITAN? 2004 SE crew cab. Not off-road not 4x4 not lifted completely stock

Just keeping all of my options open. Any suggestions or pics would help. Thanks

I'm going for the same look as well...20's with mt's or at's. But I plan on lifting the truck to accomodate the larger tire size. I'd like to see how this would look...but almost everyone with a lift has 17 or 18 inch rims.

As far as leaving the truck at the factory height and putting bigger tires...not sure if this can be done without rubbing or trimming. I don't think spacers are gonna help either...might make matters even worse.

a spacer is basically a thick washer (with holes drilled out for the studs) that fits in between the rotor and the wheel. the problem is that the lugnuts will engage less threads on the studs. as you can see, you might also have to buy longer studs.


an adapter might be a better alternative. again it is a thick washer but it has openings to lock it onto the hub and will also have it's own set of studs. just imagine a ring with of alternating openings and new studs. there is no need to get longer studs.


the spacers are pretty cheap but the adapters are not. you probably can beat getting a new set of rims that properly fit the vehicle for it's intended use.

are you going with a street truck look where the wheels do not stick out past the fenders, or do you want an offroad-ish look?

I want the wheels to either sit flush with the fenders or stick out just a bit
Not too much though. Although today I went to a tire ship where they let me test fit a set of 22’s. Man I loved it. I was really going for a rugged tire at least some 33's or something like that but then I saw those 22's on the truck and it looked sweet. I was leaning towards the a/t's or m/t's or the nitto terra grappler or something like that. Who know I still might. I'm up in the air about this one. I don’t do much off reading, mostly high way and city driving so there is not much use for all terrain but I just can’t decide.

What’s yalls input on 24's or 26's ... too extreme of a rim size? would they even fit ... the funny thing is with the 22's sitting next to the stocker 18's they were the same diameter same height, the 22's were wider of course . So I figure that 24's or 26's could fit.... i just cant decide though between all terrain setup or big *** rim setup ... anyone know if there is a way to have the best of both worlds .. Big 20 + inch rim with all terrain...
