I actually change the Wheel to this!

Those are nice, but played out from others over the last few years. I still like them though.

What is the weight per wheel/tire with your current set up?

hmm according to falken's website the 35x12.5R18 is around 74lb and the Method website says the 305NV are about 33lb. so about 107lb per corner

18x9 -12 with 35x12.5, sits pretty much flush on a truck with the small fender flares

Dam that seems pretty heavy. You seem pretty knowledgeable any recommendations on light weight wheels?

you want light weight? ah say no more! I happen to know just the right ones!
The first two are on the list are the ones that if I ever put them on the truck will not see dirt anymore lol

Awesome thanks!

Had no idea they had grams for trucks. I used to have a set on a civic.

i almost pulled trigger on a set of grams because i can get them for slightly more than the Methods.
but i can't bring myself to scratch those while out on the trail lol

Holy sh*t..you just blew my mind!!

Talk about taking me back to my JDM days!! Had a boosted 1995 Mitsubishi GTO (3000GT VR4) with 18x9.5 Gram Lights and 275/35-18s. Loved the car and the light wheels! I always wanted some TE37s on something..and if they made 20x9s, this would've been that chance! My G/T is a "road warrior" so want to stay with 20x9"-0/1mm...Method works for me, but my heart skipped a beat when I saw your post (probably don't need this coffee now)!!

Ah crap...now I'm sitting here TOTALLY rethinking what I want to do with this truck (just to be able to get those TE37s)!! What is this "overlanding" thing again ...I drive "overland" on the highway, I think that counts

 

[Ready Go]

These are my two picks that I'm "whittling" down...they come in bronze and "grey" (the Method pic looks lighter than they really are).

Since I'm not offroading/overlanding, these don't have the beadlock look to save on weight..they're mid 30lb range.

(Man, I REALLY want those TE37s, my day(mind!) is ruined..can't stop thinking about them!)

The Fuels look bad a$$! Haven't seen those and now these may go on my list too. Like you, if the Grams came in a 20" those would be my wheels.....

Here's another Fuel wheel that "replicates" the TE37 look that I've also been giving some thought too!

@boogielander
You can see by the two Fuel wheels why your Rays & Grams post blew me away!!!

 

[Ready Go]

The Fuel Rush looks very similar to the Rays Volk TE37, and the Fuel Variant looks very similar to the Gram Light wheels!

I guess subconsciously, I've been channeling my JDM days...recently I've been trolling eBay for an L78 Nova/Chevelle/Camaro, maybe it's time for a turbo car again!! Oh boy, I'm in trouble now

 

[Ready Go]

I looked up the Fuel wheels for weights on Fuel's website.....

Fuel Rush 20x9-0/1mm...40lbs
Fuel Variant 20x9-0/1mm...33lbs

Looks like I'm most likely going with Fuel Variant (Titanium) and Falken Wildpeaks 285/60-20s once I get my exact lift height settled in (still dialing that in).

I’m a fan of those bad boys. I could be persuaded into them if they came in a flat black matte finish.

What did you use for the lift?

They do!
Pretty much all Fuel wheels come in matte bronze, matte gunmetal/titanium, and matte black.
Check out Fuel's website..if you have an hour or two!!
I've got a list of a dozen now, but Variant is #1 and Rush is #2 on my current list.

What did you use for the lift?

I'm just getting started on a long journey, I imagine! I LOVE dialing in suspensions!

Right now, I've got:
ES 5.516B poly bushings on Front sway bar (and will be swapping in Maxx endlinks when I decide on final height).
Progress Technologies 25mm Rear sway bar w/poly bushings set on Tight position. I have a pairs of PT endlinks in 10", 11", and 13" that I'll decide on, also based on final height.
Right Rear spring is cut ONE FULL coil to give me almost perfect level R/L height in rear (within 1/8" depending on gas tank fullness).
Airlift bags in both rear springs with minimal (~3psi) air pressure.
Eibach Pro-kit Rear shocks (the inverted style, not 2Rs).
My ride height with stock tires is:
37.0" F and 38.75" R

**Below is pics of my truck with a jack under to simulate possible ride heights once I swap in the Front Eibachs as our weather warms up.**

I'm leaning towards setting the Front to 1.2" Clip #3 and will have ~0.5" rake.

I have a pair of McBay 0.5" billet rear coil spacers, a pair 0.125 "hard" poly spacers, and a pair of 0.25" "medium" poly spacers to help dial in the rear to the final front height to help balance the "center of gravity" feel, as needed.

I do just purchase a whole set of ORP Springs that are "matched" to my OEM springs that I am going to swap in after I dial this in..I thought this would give an extra 1" lift ( for a total of 2.2"F & 1.0"R), but I hearing that the ORPs are actually 0.5" lift and the other 0.5" is the 33" tires compared to my 32" tires. I have a new pair of Mopar 2" Lift UCAs to swap in if I get to 2.2"F lift.

I'm starting to think that I may switch gears and go to the Mopar 2" Fox setup for 2" F lift and use my ORP rear springs (if they are really 1" lift) or Eibach 1" rear springs..I want a little rake yet. I really want to most comfort (I feel this is Fox's strongpoint)..I've got the sways, etc for handling.

Once I settle my lawsuit (my SEVEN DAY OLD 2023 Laramie G/T was totalled back in July 2023), all of this will be for naught as I've always planned on eventually going to the 3" Fox 2.5 Adjustable F/R Setup as I also love dialing in valving..it makes so much difference when combined with coilovers! I'm even thinking if getting some "jack plates" for the rear springs to be able to "weight jack" this truck better.

At the end of the day, I should probably just trade in for the 2024 TRX my dealer has in transit that is same color as my G/T and stop F-ing!! Nahhh

(**included pics of the MeisterR GT1s I put on my wifes ND Miata. Cambered to -1.9° F&R with TONS of suspension parts..go cart on steroids! Took 6 stages of setup and realignment to get final dial-in)
