Well by putting the 18 in. rims, and putting not low-profile tires and just putting regular old tires, I think it will be pretty sharp. Thats just what I think.

Unless the "old" tires you plan on putting on your truck are 20" then they're not gonna work...

For example if you have stock wheel and tires on your truck right now they're most likely 265/75R16's, that means they ONLY fit on a 16" rim. Not a 15", not a 17", not even a 16.5"

So if that is your setup your gonna have to buy new tires [&:] With no lift I think you can probably clear like 195/80R20's (I don't know if thats even a real tire size )

I wasn't meaning putting the 16" tires on the 18" rims. I was just meaning I would try and put on 265/75/18" on them.
