Build Categories

Pick the direction you want to take this truck. Each section has wheel styles, colors, and specs that work for that build.

Street & Show

Big wheels, deep dish, show-truck stance

The build for guys who want their truck to be the loudest one at the meet. 22" to 26" wheels, deep dish or aggressive concave, large offsets, low-profile tires that put the wheel barrel on display.

  • Wheel sizing: 22-26" diameter, -18 to -44 offset
  • Tire pairing: 305/45R22 or 295/35R24 - low profile for show stance
  • Suspension: Stock height or 2" level - too much lift kills the show stance

Wheel styles that work

Deep dish, aggressive concave, or directional designs that look like they belong on a show truck. The wheel itself is the centerpiece.

Color recommendations by truck color

  • Black truck: Bronze, machined, black, or red accent wheels
  • White truck: Anything works - gloss black, gunmetal, bronze, machined, chrome
  • Red truck: Black, grey, or machined finishes
  • Grey or Silver truck: Anything - most flexible truck color for wheel pairing
  • Blue truck: Machined, black, or grey - neutral wheels let the blue stand out

Lowered

Dropped stance, street performance, sport truck

Drop kits and bagged setups for street-leaning trucks. 2" to 7" drop kits with 22" or 24" wheels and mid-positive offsets. Less common on some trucks than others.

  • Wheel sizing: 22x9 or 24x10, +18 to +30 offset
  • Tire pairing: 305/40R22 or 305/35R24 - performance street tires
  • Suspension: Drop kit (Belltech, McGaughy's, DJM) or air-bagged setup

Wheel styles that work

Street-performance wheel designs - directional, mesh, or split-spoke patterns. Show truck designs work for static drops too.

Color recommendations by truck color

  • Black truck: Bronze, machined, black, or red accent wheels
  • White truck: Anything works - gloss black, gunmetal, bronze, machined, chrome
  • Red truck: Black, grey, or machined finishes
  • Grey or Silver truck: Anything - most flexible truck color for wheel pairing
  • Blue truck: Machined, black, or grey - neutral wheels let the blue stand out
