I want a little larger tire than stock but I think a 35" looks a little too stuffed in on a leveled 1500,according to my calculations a 315/50/20 works out pretty close to a 33x12.50/20. My stockers are 275/60/20 = 33x10.8/20 so they are narrower than the 33" 12.50 . Something in the nieghborhood of a 33.5 or 34"tall, 12"-13"wide tire might be OK,I just don't want it to look like I stuffed it in there. Anyone running something close to that?

I'm running 305/50/20 Toyo Proxes S/T and they look good. The only compaint I have is too much wheel gap. This setup would look much better on a lowered truck but with helper springs in the back and torsion bars cranked they look funny. They're better than the 35" tires I had before though for towing purposes. I would like to go to a set of 33x12.5x20 tires in a more aggressive tread at some point. Not m/t but maybe a more aggressive A/t. I had BFG A/T before which weren't bad, but I've heard a lot of negative reviews on them. I tend to not buy new tires though so I switch them out quite often. Craigslist is a gold mine though for used tires. I picked up my current tires for $140.00.

OK,So after much deliberation I decided on Number 4 only to find out they are currently out of production with no immediate plans to resume and nobody has them in a warehouse so.... I went back to Square one and i have decided on this Eagle alloy wheel in an 18x9...

And this tire in a 285/65/18


How do you guy n gals think it will look with my 2" coil spacers?

i say number 1 as it helps keep the balance of the the black on the truck and the chrome from the headlights, badges and nerf bars.
