Ya ,I thought with the more tire less wheel look it would look alright being a 1/2 inch smaller,but now I must admit you got me second guessing myself. They don't offer that tire in a 33" 18 or I would get it,I just really like how that tire looks,Do you think I'll regret getting that?

I almost went with a Nitto Terra Grappler in a 325X60R18D but My brother in law has terra grapplers on his GMC 2500 Duramax and they are wearing way too fast to the point he has called them to ask if they are defective or something, he only has like 4000 miles on them and they look almost wore out. I have heard other people swear by the Nitto's but I'm just a little leary of them after seeing the bro-in-laws.

And this tire in a 285/65/18


How do you guy n gals think it will look with my 2" coil spacers?
are you only getting spacers....what about shocks...and honest...im not a fan of chrome...i think a 35in tire on the stock 20's would look sick........hmm, yea..not a fan of chrome...

The wheels are polished aluminum and black, My truck is IFS and the spacers go on top of the strut assembly.

I could actually get the terra grapplers or some toyo open country AT's in a 325/60/18 for about the same money,they dont look as cool but they would be bigger,do you think I should change to one of thoses tires or go with what I ordered? I could probably still change my order monday morning.
