Default Updated pics/wheels and tires

Just wanted to share some new pics after the new wheels and tires.XD Monsters 18x9 W/Nitto Terra Grapplers 285/65/18's. I really like how they look and wanted to thank everyone for there help along the way with all my questions. For those of you that were annoyed with all the "will these fit" questions try to remember back to when you needed help with stuff. Isn't that what these forums are for?

Yep, thats what they are for. Congrats. What make/model are the rims? Ans can i ask why you chose 18" instead of 17"? Not second guessing you, just sort of starting to gather info for my own swap later on. I will be handing my truck down to my son in a year or so and want to get him some black rims and nice tires.

XD Monsters,I went with 18's cause that's all they came in (easy choice).Just google XD or KMC wheels they have quite a few black ones to choose from.Just pick the ones you like then you'll get into the backspacing and offset FUN.....

Thanks, so what offset did you go with? I don't want mine sticking out of the fender wells any further than yours do. Are you leveled in the front? I don't want huge tires, but I do plan to level the front and want the tires to look "right" sized and not too small.

I went with +18 offset w/a 5.71 backspace.It's pretty much what the stock rims are,didn't want them to stick out either.I tried a 295/70/18 but it was just way too much tire without a level,maybe even too much with a level IMO.
