Need some help in looking at purchasing wheels. Can u tell me the difference and why I should pick one or the other of the two sizes below. Looking for wheels for 2005 Mounty. Thanks



Size 16X8.5 5-114.3 -6MTB


Size 16X8.5 5-114.3 18MTB

Really just trying to figure out that offset will be the same or at least ok? Any help?

Let me get home and look up my wheel info so i can assist you better

Ok-I understand the -6 size offset will make the wheels and tires sit out a bit from the body. Will this be too muh with 265/70's on a stock setup? Planning a 1.5 body lift soon also.

Shouldn't be too much. Here's an older pic of mine with a 1.5" body lift, 265/75/16 tires with 8 inch wide wheels that have 0 offset (so sticking 6mm further out than the wheels you're looking at):

Spacers along with new wheels are on the Mounty. It really wasn't bad project at all getting the BTF spacers in. I enjoyed it. Looks great. I am thinking a new UCA may be needed once the ball joints start to wear? Any suggestions? I see BTF has them anyone running them with spacers?

Um...the only ones running them are people with spacers.

Man a guy gets hammered for mis-typing a bit. Thanks for the input.

I hate to dig up an old zombie thread but does anyone know what size tire Kazer was running on these rims? 285/75R17's maybe?

Thanks in advance...
