Now I've always had a dream... Of owning a jacked up HD pickup and throwing on huge KMC Diesel wheels. Now as I went to the Ford dealership to buy my new 2011 F250 King Ranch, something caught my eye. Yes, just as you thought, a white Ford Raptor. After a quick test drive, I was in love and purchased it on the spot. Now the big question is... can my dream still come half true??? Do yall think KMC Diesel's, probably 20" (yes I'm a street queen :flipthebird:) Wrapped with some Toyo or Nitto 35" rubber will look good on the Raptor? I've googled it night after night and I can't even find a pic of a regular F150 rocking those wheels. I'd be happy to hear your input and even pics if anyone knows of any.

Thanks!

That ones hard to say. They could look good. The raptor is a very hard truck to find stuff that looks good. The rims could look good, but watch your tires. Too aggressive and they don't look right. The BFG all terrains look great, nitto terras look good, the BFG KM2 while being aggressive still fit very well. Obviously the general grabbers.

Loving the truck so far... But as you can tell, the stock wheels/tires dont do it for me. I really thing I'll go with Nitto Terras or Toyo A/T's for tires. Although if I can find a decent price those generals are Sweet too! I'm just nervous bout pulling the trigger on those Diesels with not a single way to see what they'll look like...

In my opinion, chrome/polished wheels won't work on a Raptor, regardless of the design. Pretty much need to be painted (and dark).

Also wouldn't do 20s, you're going to need the sidewall if you want to have a lot of the fun the truck was designed for.

So I've decided against the chrome Diesel's after Droid's advice... Gonna stay dark/black. However think I'm still gonna rock 20's... Since I'm 95% street queen... When I do go offroad as I hope too, I'll throw the stockers back on.

The KMC Addicts did catch my eye... I think they'd look good on the white truck... How big you think these are in the pics? 18s or 20s? 35" tires?

Thanks boys.

I thought you were talking about the black diesels. Yeah I wouldn't put chrome wheels on a Raptor.
