What's the reality of selling stock wheels and tires to upgrade wheels and tires/offset cost of same? I have the standard Raptor aluminum wheels, and would like to upgrade, probably sooner rather than later while tires have full tread. Is there any non-ballchafe way to sell/ship such huge items? Is there any vendor that does a trade/exchange? Just trying to get my mind around the logistics of such an upgrade. TIA.



Actually that’s a problem for us who like to personalize our vehicles.
I have 8 sets of wheels and tires in my warehouse, factory take offs and customs for other vehicles I don’t own anymore

Shipping complete wheel and tires isn’t that bad roughly 60 bucks per wheel and tire ups or u can do motor freight for about 120 for a set .

When I bought my 2017 I got some method wheels and had the stock BFG KO2s put on the new methods. I then sold my stock non-beadlock wheels on craigslist for $550. I listed them for $600 and the guy talked me down to $550. He had a blue FX4 and wanted "raptor wheels". I remember that they were going for about $600 powder coated black on eBay at that time. He drove a long way to get them as well. Shipping on wheels is expensive. Shipping on wheels and tires is even worse. There are some tricks to make it a little cheaper. Do a little research and remember you have 5 stock tires and 5 stock wheels counting the spare under your truck. Good luck.

I sold my 4 stock non-beadlock wheels\tires without TMPS on craigslist for 1400. I wouldn't think about shipping these anywhere.

$120 for the set?!?!?! Can I sub all my freight through you lol? I'll give you $170 for every pallet of wheels shipped. The fee add up quick. Coast to coast, residential surcharge and liftgate to top it off. We have some that get around $400 a pallet. And we ship a lot.

Back to wheels, looks like SOTA offroad will be offering a forged beadlock wheel. The SKUL-R (built by Weld)

Side note, bumper built by LGE.CTS. Hit up Sarah if any of you are interested. She should be back in the office next week.

I would be interested in these as long as the offset doesn’t make them stuck out a country mile. I’d much rather them fill the inside of the wheel well than stick way out. This is what makes me a little nervous about going with 20x10

Personally I'm considering doing 18x9 bronze NVs - with the +18 offset and slightly wider wheel/tire, it'd only stick out I think 1 inch more than stock

A bit more aggressive stance but nothing too crazy

Exactly what I put on my truck about a month ago.. Love the look and stance. It does throw dirt, water, etc. all over the truck. But I put a set of Rokblokz mudflaps on and it does a good job.

Nice, looks great! Are those are 18x9s? And if so, did you go with 325/65/18s or 35x12.5/18 tires, and is there any rubbing?

Sorry I misread the post I replied on. I did stock tires so went 17×9s. I'll post a head on and tail on pic to show the offset.

I had significant rub on the driver's side. Had to do quite a bit of trimming and then even more with the Rokblokz.
