    hi i am looking to buy a set of wheels for my 1997 mitsu dump and i do use the dump it has a lift 3" i think. I hate spraying the sides of the truck with mud when the wheels stick out. I thought i would get your opinions

    Thanks

    An additional recommendation would be to drop that 3" lift to a 2" lift. It will save you hundreds of dollars in axle repairs.

    Wheels for a mini Truck?

    check out Vision or Super Grip wheels. They have the highest load rating for a wheel that fits the mini trucks the only exception to that would be a steel wheel.

    the americanized lefty's came with a (turf) tire option that was wider and the fender flares were standard from the factory. the regular rims are 12x5 unless it was only two wheel drive, then it came with 10" rims on smaller studs and drum brakes all around.

    I put toyota Tercel wheels on my Mitz Van (looks like Dan's). I had them cut the core out of the front ones to clear the electric hubs. offset worked out great.

    I've got 13 rims now with the tallest tire but can't remember the size at the moment. They're DOT and gave me about 15kph more top end.
