what would be a 35" tire for 18" wheels? these are the wheels I am thinking about getting would these look ok on my truck with the backspacing bolt pattern and everything? (what is the 1500 5 lug bolt pattern) I like the super finish black wheels. I just want to make sure they wont stick out TOO far.... http://www.aewheel.com/wheels_detail_specs.cfm?id=363

 

if you have the stock twenty's the backspacing is 5.85. so that means that those wheels are gonna stick out about 1.35 farther. thats the look i was going for though.
bolt pattern is 5x5.5. and if you are looking at wider tires you are gonna have to go with a backspacing like you are looking at,or they will rub at full lock.

 

yeah talon that sounds like those wheels will look perfect then because like you, I want them to stick out a little furthur but not redic. Should I go with a 305 or 315 tire then?

 

look at this chart. i was looking for a better one but this is the best i could find quickly. there are a few tire charts out there if you search.

Thanks talon! Looks like I will go with a 305/70R18 then.

 

no problem. just make sure you pay attention to all the sizing on the side of the tire when you buy them. like 305 70 18 is a 35, and a 305 60 18 is a 33. it took me about 2 weeks to finally decide on a the right tire with alot of research.

heres the tire i finally purchased.

like i said havent got them on the truck yet,but they sure look badazz setting there. hope they look good when they are actually on the truck.

 

Yeah, they should look good.

 

Actually it's only 34.4"

 

This is the lift I would like to go with. I'm pretty sure it should fit the '08. It's the only lift I've been able to find for the '08 other than a leveling kit.

These are the rims. I plan on going with 35x12.50 Pro Comp X-Treme ATs.

This set up should work right?

 

I have the '02-'05 torsion bar front end version of that Rancho kit. Very pleased.

My only issue with the Pro Comps is most guys I know have really bi*ched about keeping tread on the highway, really wear fast... But a good tire when it has tread...
