I don't have anything against the torque thrust wheels, I actually think they look awesome on our trucks, but EVERYBODY has them...I guess you have made me understand why now...

Guess I'll quit bucking the norm and look for a more traditional style thrust wheel.

Is it possible to use the same 4 wheels with the same BS and offset on all 4 corners or do I need to order a split set with 2 different offsets and BS? Seems most people have 2 different specs for front and rear and I also assume this is for a reason as well?

Thanks for letting me drive you guys crazy with questions, I just don't know what I'm doing....

You can run the same size & offset front & rear, but the track width is slightly wider in the front when doing so. Most guys opt for the 'staggerd' sizing to allow for slightly more (wider) tire out back & even out the track width @ the same time. Typically, adding 1.5" makes things square so if you have 8" wheels in the front, 9.5's in the rear etc....

As far as wheel choice, remember it's your truck so you have to like what you're spending your money on. Get what you want but just keep in mind why those 5-spoke/thrust style wheels are so popular.
