Hey guys,

I need help on deciding which wheels should I purchase. Below are links for the rims I might purchase. They are all BOSS rims. Also, can you help me decide which tires to go with them? I don't want to lose ride quality so I'm going for 20's

I like Boss 301. How about BBS. Check the link here. http://www.1010tires.com/wheel.asp?wheelbrand=BBS&wheelmodel=RD-Truck

I think the 3rd choice being black wheels would look awesome with your silver Armada. That would be pretty unique.

I like the BOSS 309. I think that the black rims with the chrome lip is sharp too. BUT Don't know if i would like the black rims on Silver. MMMMM? I would have to see it to really know if I like it.
GOOD LUCK!

I also like the 309. :3d_004:

I like this one as well. Simple and not too much bling.

BTW, do these wheels compatible with the TP sensor? I spoke to a tech guy in Discount Tire when I had my wheel road forced balanced and he adviced me to becareful when choosing the rim since it might messed up your TP seonsor.

Oh yeah! Totally forgot about that, thanks for reminding me lol. 301 is not bad, i'm gettin $275 CAD. for the superfinish rim (each) and without tires. But i know I can bargin more with them. Black would look pretty nice on silver..hopefully..if i get them lol. The BOSS 309, i'm gettin a price for $335 for the chrome ones (each)

so now i'm debating over BOSS 309, 301, and 303. hmm...will i lose any ride quality????

No contest

Hands down it's the 309's. Distant second is the 303's just cause their black. 301's don't match the lines of the Mada IMHO. Hullio, tell me at the ripe old age of 14. How do you plan on paying for all of these mods. Oh yeah, you can't even drive yet (legally). My bad.... LOL.

My dad drives it :duh: lol and he's gonna pay for all the mods. He hardly has time to search around for products like rims and stuff so I do it all lol I know a lot about cars and so I always look around for the best deal. Also, I think 309's will be the best set of rims to buy. And i drove the Armada once...hard, but fun..lol...Next year I'm gettin my license, since i'm turning 15 soon...then we'll see who'll be laughing Thanks for all the help tho.

 

[hullio]

Oh yeah..also...which set of tires will be good for the 309 BOSS rims? Which brand, size?

I'm purchasing the wheels and other mods (like billet grille) at Van & Truck World in Pickering PM back if u need directions and stuff...they are :awesome:

 

[hullio]

ok..so..i'm probably going for the 309's, but will i lose any rde quality with the 20's? I guess the kind/type of tire also depends on ride quality, so which tires should we get?

Ride quality will most likely improve with the 20's/New tires. Tires are going to depend on what you prefer. Could go with an AT tire or the Street tires like the Kumo Ecsta's like most are getting with 22'/24's. Either one will give you improved handling over the Contis. Important thing is to keep the overall outside diameter as close to stock as possible as to not affect your speedo, and mileage, etc.

Thanks, what is the diameter of the stock tires?

 

[armoody]

32.6 Inches
Here are a couple tire size calculators. They make it easy to figure out tire sizes and how close to stock diameter you will be.

Depends on how big, not which design. Bigger, yes you will.

Read this for help on sizes, etc.

Personally, I love my combo. Looks mean, quiet, handles better than stock. Loose a little acceleration due to larger size rims and heavy weight, but they still kick but.
