24" rockstars

shaggy1234 · 03-06-2008, 02:33 PM

Im thinking about buying some 24 inch kmc rockstars for my 2004 titan and i was wondering if they would fit without rubbing or anything. Im going to a store to get the tires so they can make sure i get tires that fit but im gonna buy the rims on the internet so i wanted to know if 24s would be to big or not without lifting it or if affects the handling or anything. thanks

That's funny.

Seriously though, other people have ran 24's on lowered Titans I think. I wouldn't especially with the Rockstar just because it looks more like an offroad wheel IMO. Some 18" or 20" Rockstars with 35" mud terrains would be hot.

First off, welcome to TT! There are a few around that must have forgotten their manners and think that everyone should do what they think is best, just ignore them. I wouldn't go with the 24s if you plan on lifting it simply because your only tire choices would be 33"s, 37"s or 38"s. IMO the 33"s will look way too low pro with a lift, and you'll need more than 8" of lift to clear 37"s. Maybe consider going with 20"s or 22"s because there is a much bigger selection as far as tires go, and they make 35"s which will fit fine with an 8" lift.

On second thought, please do not be gay and lift a truck with IFS 15", especially a 2wd with a half ton rear axle.

Ok ill probly go with the 22s then but they have 22by12 and 22by9.5 so would the 22by12 fit fine because on mine they are smaller and i dont no if the width of 12 is to big.

Depends on the offset and backspacing. Are you planning on running low pro's, then upgrading to 35"s once you get the lift?

hahaha
sorry that was a bad way to start you off

but honestly 20's are plenty big, 22's are fine, but 24's are stupid, ESPECIALLY if you are lifting it..

hulian · 03-06-2008, 08:28 PM

it does depend on the back spacing, i am running a 305 width tire and have absolutly no rubbing, but i think the rim is only a 10 inch width. if the wheel is 12 inches wide then the tire is going to have to be about a 13 inch width and that may rub just a bit depending on the tire of choice.

Dude, I wouldn't even go with the 22's, they're too big to get any kind of sidewall on your tire with the lift you're looking at. I have the 20x10's and I had to cut the pinch weld and I still rub a little. I'm sitting a little higher than the 8" CST lift. I have a bunch of pics in my signature and what I'm running as well.

I think with the 22x12 Rockstars and 35" tires, you're going to have to cut off half your wheel well.

i had 24s on my armada w stock suspension no problem

Geezus_Aach · 03-11-2008, 08:47 PM

^^^ but ya, those are street wheels/tires.

rockstars are more for the offroad application/look. i would do 18" or mayyyyybe 20"s at most. then get nitto terra grapplers tires, be done with it.

yes right you are. That Armada was a South Florida ride. I just traded it for the Pro-4x as I am going to be in TN for a bit and the Armada and those 24's were not gonna last long there.

But the ? I was answering was would 24's fit - the ans is yes
Should he - no

MXtitan24 · 03-13-2008, 08:26 PM
