Aftermarket Wheels for e350...

[ohpyramids]

Looking for a new wheels to go with my ujor 6" lift. I know its important to get load range E tires for our vans, but what about load range on a wheel?

I see alot of folks running the mickey thompson classic IIIs, which have a load capacity of 3250 lbs. I had em on my scout 800- and they looked ************, but id like to change it up for the van. Im looking at the Method NV wheels.

They look ************** on a raptor, so it should be even better on a van :sombrero: The method NV's have a load capacity of 3600lbs, so I should be good to go right?

I would think so. . .I don't think I've seen alloy truck wheels with a higher rating than that, unless your talking about really big stuff for f-450's and up.

Ive been looking into this same thing.

I like some rims, then saw the 2200 per wheel load rating. 2200 x 4 = 8800. Not sure id wanna run that on the van.

Now 3250 x 4 = 13000 I think youll be safe.

After all, arent the gvwr for these vans around 9000 lbs?

thanks gents!

im cool for 4 wheels, but when i do wheelies ill be SOL... 3600 lbs. *2 = 7200 lbs

It's a Chevy, but cool wheels are cool wheels:victory:

I think wheels and tires really set off a van and make it no longer a work van, but an adventure machine.

Those Method rims look pretty much kick butt. If you get them, post some pics to the board. How much do they run??

dude that chevy looks good.

in general- im just looking to switch things up. i've had the mickey thomson classic III on both my tacoma and scout 800 (ultra 164 knockoffs).

I think those Polished NV's would look awesome on my H'airstream!!! Thanks for posting, I have been trying to figure out a tire wheel setup once I get the suspension in order!!!
Feel free to "photchop" some on my ride for inspiration :sombrero:

BTW, the powder coat is legit, absolutely kills it!!!

The Method NV is a sick wheel, I just put them on my van last week. I got them direct from Method Wheels shipped to florida.
