Default 18 in tire ?

Since my rim thread got shut down, I'll continue here. I've been looking around and there aren't any great options for 265/60/18 or 265/65/18 A/T tires. Well, the BGF but I don't want to spend 250 a pop on a tire that I'm not that sold on.

At least for a 20in rim and a 275/55/20, you have more options like the Cooper Zeon LTZ which is getting super reviews and the Terra Grappler. Cooper is supposed to be releasing a lot more sizes on the LTZ in 2009 so who knows.

As far as rims go, I really like the XD Diesel in black but they only make it in an 18 that fits our truck. No 20" option. Why do they have to make it so difficult.

I agree Silver, the choices were about the best I had found along with price...

Those rims look pretty cool man, I prefer less spokes but all in all not bad

So I think I've decided.

Pretty sure I'm going with the 20x9 XD Monster (matte black) with 275/55/20 Cooper Ziex LTZs.

I'll keep you guys updated with pics when it's all said and done.

I prefer the first rims you chose, but the second set are nice too.
