Just got these in the mail:) 13 inch wide wheels, need advice, thanks:)
Hey guys,
really happy to get these , they just came in this week, thanks to MC3 Wheels
They are 20 x 6 , ive got two of them.
My current wheel set up is 20 x 9.5 in front and 20 x 10.5 in the rear, I will be moving my 10.5's to the front and re lipping the 9.5's with these and moving them to the rear.
if my calculations are correct these lips will turn the 9.5's to 13's.
I know nothing about tire sizing and fitting so my question is what size tire should I be running in the back?
I would like to minimize the amount of fender mods that I will have to do as much as possible , so I would like a pretty agressive stretch and im wondering if I should go with /30's instead of /35's.
Also I am planning on doing the re-lipping myself, Ive done the research and seen the vid's but has anyone here done it themself?
Thanks in advance

i personally wouldnt go smaller than a 285/30, but it depends on the brand/type of tire. but there really isnt any sense in limiting what you want to do to your fenders. either way its going to have to be done and it isnt necessarily going to cost more to widen it more.
rebuilding a wheel, like anything, is easy/straight-forward if you have the proper tools.
good luck.

thanks man, ill look into the 285/30's, im hoping at that size ill get a decent stretch, and yea im just hoping to get away with a good solid roll and pull, I would like to avoid doing serious work like you did to yours before you went wide body,although it looked really good it's just alot of work and if not done perfectly will end up as a major disaster.
