Aftermarket 18" wheels, what fits?

[ColoradoCub]

I know when these trucks fist came out some owners found out the hard way that most aftermarket 18" wheels will not clear the calipers on these larger brakes. It seems a while back I read where if you used enough offset Fuels and others could be used. Has anyone worked through this issue and upgraded their 18" wheels?

I really wanted 18” tires with my lift but sadly I had to go up to a 20” Fuel wheel for my lift.

Did you try any 18's, it seems that as long as you go with 0 or 1 offset the 18's fit, just not much info out there. I really don't care for the ride or look of 20's personally.

18" Fuels fit on my truck.

I just installed Method 18” wheels on mine. -12 offset. Everything clears fine

Husky what offset did you go with?

 

[PorBoy]

My 18” Blitzs winter wheels are -12 offset.

I have fuel Beast at "0" offset in the 18", they clear, not by a lot.

 

[ColoradoCub]

Rain do you have and down the side views of how far they stick out with 0 offset?

 

[RainDesert]

I will get one

I looked into this at great length... I’m dead set on running 18” aftermarkets @ the stock +18mm offset (with 35’s) the only wheel I could find that would work was the Method NV (according to customer support @ Method).

You get a few more options if you go 0 offset, and even more when you get into negative offsets.

I ended up mounting my 35’s on my stock rims for now, I like the NV’s but see too many these days and really don’t want all black wheels on my billet silver (w/ chrome bumpers & grill) truck.

I’m hoping that someone puts out some more options in the near future.

I’ll also add that when getting that close in tolerances, you really need to verify with manufactures that a certain wheel will fit.

I had a set of Method grids (titanium +18) in my cart ready to buy from Customer Offsets. According to their site they fit my truck, I called them to see how long to ship and verify fitment - they said yes they’ll fit, but 2 weeks to ship. I decided to wait and check my local shops to see if I could get them faster than 2 weeks. My local shop said they would not fit, I called Method and verified that they would not fit.

Saved myself the time and hassle of having to return a set of wheels (that I possibly might of ended up mounting tires on not knowing better) to Custom Offsets.

Yes since lifting I couldn’t use my oem 18” wheels hence why I’m on my current set. My winter set will be a 18” wheel but with a -12 offset and sadly they will be black.

thank you, that’s a good fit. I have some quality mudflaps (DURAFLAP) that would protect against that little bit they stick out.

hey Clyde. Any issues with upper control arm clearance with stock 18s and 35s?

Replacing the black 22s" that came with my limited with 18x9 -12 Fuels here soon. Here is hoping I don't have any issues with the brake caliper!
