37s on factory wheels or find wheels that will hold up to salt in the winter
I'm thinking about a 4.5in lift with either 35s or 37s but I was thinking about keeping the factory wheels or finding a chrome wheel that will hold up to salt in the winter time. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

My Thoughts are " He should keep that new truck In the Garage and find a beater to drive in the winter months"
J/KI find that most factory wheels are easier to clean and hold there finish better With 37" tires you will prolly have to just pick up a Cheap aftermarket wheel 9 or 10" wide to fit the tire...Thats what i would do,buy some el cheap-o chromes and spray them down with WD40 and let the Good time roll

Yeah I wish I could not drive it. My dads got a 450 pickup that never moved last winter we drove my 6.0 but now mine will probably get driven. We plow snow so we have dump trucks but I don't wanna be in one of those everyday. And I figured the factory wheels would be much easier. And not to be a dick but I'm not gonna put cheap chrome wheels on a $64k truck. I had them and they pitted bad on my 6.0

Anyone know of wheels that will hold up to salt and not pit??? or will 37s be okay on factory wheels?

If your going to do a 4.5" lift, def do the 37's b/c the 35's will look tiny. I had 37's on my stock 08 20" wheels no problems. They have plenty guys running the 37's on a stock 20: rim.

Ok thanks. I'm probably gonna do the carli 2.0 kit once I get the money and I like the factory kr wheels so I will probably go 37s. Hopefully they wont rub

im running the carli 2.0 coil over conv and clears 37's easily, as for the wheels i find the coated XD wheels last well in the salt and junk and can be had for relatively cheap. i got a set of 17" steels i will run with 37" cooper discovery SST's thought about powder coating them gray or lime green just for ****s n giggles for the winter as i F'd the finish on my current bmfs already and the need to be cut and cleared.

Ok thanks. I don't know if coated wheels would look real good on a bronze truck but who knows. So your bmfs pitted from salt? Where they black or chrome?

the wheels were scratched from mud and sand, and they got a haze.
