Magnetic Metallic '19 XLT ---- Stock Magnetic wheel vs. Aftermarket Black wheel?

[610MagneticRanger]

Forum,

I've been going back and forth between different wheel and tire options, so I thought I'd jump on here to see if I can get some third party opinions. Here's week 1 ranger:

I want to give my Ranger an aggressive stance, but didn't want to go as far as a 0mm offset since I'm sort of a newb and didn't want to overshoot my first wheel purchase. I am currently running Black Method 703 17x8.5 at a 35mm offset. Stock magnetics that were on the truck are 55mm offset.

I am soon going to bump up from stock 255/65/17 to 265/70/17 nitto grapplers and a 2.5 inch eibach pro kit, but am debating which tire and wheel config works best with this color Ranger, black methods or the OEM magnetic wheels? If OEM wheels are the move, are there any spacers I should use to toughen their stance and make them closer to 0mm(but without full commitment)?

Is this a 2WD or 4WD Truck?

I'd say the black wheels and definitely with the bigger tires like you mentioned.

Your call on the wheels. If it were me I'd stick with OEM. With no lift the 265/70-17 will fit on the factory wheels and no modifications (no spacers either).

As for tires, if you have no plans at all to go OffRoad then I suggest a good All-Season tire over an All-Terrain. All-Terrains are ok if going OffRoad, but not a great idea if only staying on the street (even if it means hitting a dirt road to get to a person's house).

That be my input here

Excited to get the bigger tires on soon, will probably do them closer to Fall in order to wear out the ones I've got on now. All Seasons came on the truck when i bought it last year and are great dailies no doubt, but not my #1 choice and limiting when off road/snowy mountain driving, AT all the way.
