They look very nice on your truck!!!

I think chrome would be better on mine with the chrome bumpers etc but they look right with the sport look and no chrome elsewhere.

How tight a fit are the tires in 275-45-20? Do you think 295-45-20s would fit without rubbing?

They would be 3/4 of an inch wider and 1/2 an in taller... Are the ones you have tight when turning?

I've been debating 18s and 20s for my dak but I'm having trouble finding much of a selection in 18" that are wider than the 8" rims I have now. If I have to go 20s I'd still like the wider tire.

I'd really like a 18x9 with the 295/45/18 tires used on the lightnings if I find 18s I like. Maybe someday...

They look great! Very aggressive. Good choice to paint the calipers. Are you thinking cross drilled and slotted rotors? They would be very visible through those spokes.

Eventually I will. Gonna wait til they make a good quality OEM replacement. The size is fine on my brakes now, I wish I could go bigger, but living up north, I need to switch back to the stockers for winter use. :'(

Check out EBC Brakes. They carry rotors and ceramic pads for the 05's. Think it was $178 for the pair of rotors and $79 for the set of pads. And they are slotted and cross drilled.

TASTE THE HEAT AND ENJOY THE PAIN

Hey guys, I havnt been on the forums for a while, hows it goin all?

And frenchy....
WOW, youve done some nice nice stuff to your dak. I remember when you fisrt got it, congrats on the kickass wheels, amd eberything :-P

My favorite color / wheel combo is definitely Black with a chrome lip. I wonder how that would look on my white dak, maybe too much black?
