    They're Enkei RT6 - 18x8.5...

    I want to paint them black, what do you think?

    I have a stock height 4x4 CrewCab, if I get some 315/70/18 BFGs or Terra Grapplers will my tires rub?

    Will I need to get different gears?

    TIA.

    No to the gears but if you change the gears you will get better mpg not sure which gears but they aren't needed but for gas mileage

    But don't try to drag race on the road with em cause you can snap a axle or your driveshaft

    And they will look great black go to vhtpaint.com and check out their wheel paint

    theres a chance youll rub with a tbar crank but if you do a BL will fix it.

    also youll really want gears with 35"s imo or atleast for the time being a tune to change your shift points otherwise your trans will REALLY hate you (also dont let bigun tell you you dont need gears he has a manual haha)

    leveling kits arent recommended cause theyre a wast of money since you can crank for free and body lifts are only about 175

    and you wont ruin it but it will pop in and out of OD when on the Highway since it thinks you have stock size tires
