GEN 3 Official Aftermarket Wheels Thread

Any feedback on the TIS 556 rims? 17x9 +25 should give the same backspace as stock 37 rims with just a little more poke. I haven’t seen much on them except from a few posts and pictures on line. Any negatives to this brand or rim type I should consider? I’d think I could run any brand 37’s with this offset. Is my thinking correct? I saw another person on here claim they were only 29 lbs after weighing his. Seems like a good weight, price, and versatile backspacing. Makes me wonder why I haven’t seen more in use?

I'd never heard of TIS and don't know anything about them in terms of quality, but these did pop up in my search because of the 17x9 ET25 fitment ... which is more what I was after; I did NOT want a 0 offset wheel. I ultimately skipped these, being an old school cast wheel, as I wanted fully forged.

Worth noting that Raptor is clearly on the 0 offset version though, so +25 would be slightly different aesthetically.

I also have a 22 35" and never had an issue with my 37s. Have I full sent it? No ...but it's seen enough travel for me to be confident enough in saying you don't need a spacer lift of any kind if you run an offset close to stock.
I wish people would stop speculating.

Not speculating thanks. Why are you opposed to any sort of level? I had BFG 37's put on at delivery with 0 offset methods. It rubbed and some trucks are different sure. Raptorbert's version of offroading may be different than yours and if he wants to improve his suspension and keep the same travel then as a community we offer feedback vs shutting them down.

So,

An SDI top hat, paired with a foutz 1" rear spacer and a level up suspensions rear 1" bump stop spacer to mimic a 37PP is $830ish before shipping and tax. It ends up technically being 1/2" taller than 37PP up front and 0.1" rear (thats a wash obviously). The index suspensions is basically $350-400 more to add the rear shock eyelets to maintain that rear 15" travel the same way the SDi / TSW / whatever else maintains the front. I think at $850 vs $1250 the additional money is worth having a complete billet package.

Index Looks like a great kit for sure. Whichever way you go, I'm sure another way will come out and gather attention.

I oppose things that are not necessary to achieve desired result.
I've proven it's not necessary with my results so the desire must be for looks and not function.
"Improve" may not be the right term since ride height would increase but overall function will be not as specified by engineers.
There's a good chance the ride will be more harsh but if height and looks are the intention then he may choose to the ignore the negatives.
Im offering my feedback based on experience and not "shutting them down". I dont need to agree to provide feedback.
Sheesh the snowflakes are accumulating on here.

If you haven't "full sent it" as you yourself said, then you haven't proven anything to be frank. I mentioned doing this because I want to fully jump my truck and not have to worry about anything at all. The only other "proof" was EXO running 37 KO2s with +6 offset wheels and a front top hat with no issues. But that was with top hats.

Agree on those likely being the 0+ version, but the only pictures I could find of the +25’s are from a member on here with all black wheel and not in the color pattern I’m considering, and you really can’t see the wheel pattern in all black. I’d like to see more in +25 like these below, but I haven’t been able to verify any others are +25’s, and not with 37s. These pictures are with 35s.

I jumped mine a dozen times with RPG level and foutz spacers and then again with eibach pro lift kit. I will add an improved Top Hat once I can get out more this summer. The stock shocks are great and youll be fine with the index kit. There are plenty of real world experiences and needs for the change in height and they have been around since the first raptors to add bigger tires.

Search YouTube. A few guys doing your full send with 35 trucks on 37s. Make sure you post videos when you do it.

Agree the design gets lost in all black (true of most wheels). It’s a good looking wheel. And +25 to +18 are the sweet spot IMO for. 8.5”-9” wide wheel and 37s, both aesthetically and functionally.
