Wheels That Fit With Leveling Kits The typical wheel size that we see people running with leveling kits are between... - 17x8.5" - 17x9" - 18x9" Depending on the tire size you choose with one of these wheel sizes, you may need some minor trimming around the bumper, specifically the stock trim under the bumper, to avoid any rubbing from occurring while driving or turning. This is a very common off-road setup because it's running a smaller wheel. That allows more room for meaty tire size. More tire = better grip for traveling outdoors. Also, we understand you may not want to cut up your truck so just be mindful of the wheel size relative to the tire size. These are just the most common that we are seeing, and it may be a good place for you to start with your build if you're thinking about a leveling kit.
