Aftermarket 18 inch Rebel Wheels Victim

[Carroljb]

Well I thought I did my research enough to avoid wasting time but I fell victim.

I was super excited to get the green light from the boss for new wheels and tires after dropping a grip buying the truck. I read the forums and knew the brake calipers might interfere but Discount Tire assured me they would fit. After a week of shipping, Helo 904 18x9 0 offset, 275/70/18 Cooper AT3, did not fit.

Discount Tire tried to scramble and convince me into 20 inch set up but wasn’t keen on that. Super bummed and a little bit frustrated.

Good luck to anyone else who is trying for 18 inch wheels, wheel roulette.

Fuel Hardline 18"x9" +1 offset fit perfect on my Rebel with OEM Goodyear Duratrac 33". There is a website www.customoffset.com has a large gallery of specific wheel and tires on year/brand of truck you type in and shows successful combos by real world truck owners with description and pics. My red/black Rebel is there.There are comments If tires rub, etc.

I ordered a single wheel to diy test fit first. Worst case you’re out $250 and have yourself a new side table

The perimeter bolts really make it pop and looks larger than an 18". Nice look!!! 18"x9" +1mm offset is what my Fuel wheels are also. Lines up perfect with factory installed running board and tread lines up with flares. A small amount of sidewall beyond flares but minimal mud slinging onto paint.
