OK,You guys talked me into it, I called National Tire and wheel and Switched to a Nitto Terra Grappler in a 325/60,18D. It actually saved me about $50 too. Should have them in about a week.


These are the tires,not quite as aggresive looking but bigger....

Much better going with a 325/60/18. They don't look aggressive until you see them in person. You will be happy. What BS did you go with?

That combo will look NICE!
I am actually looking at the wheel in all black. I already have a set of 35" terra grapplers to mount on them too. Can't wait to see yours mounted!

That will put you about 1.5" out from your current rubber. The wheel itself will stick out 1.25" further than your stock one's and the 325 tire should add about .25" over the old rubber giving a 1.5" wider stance than stock. It's a mean look. Changes the look completely. You'll never be able to go back to stock....lol

You may want to think about some fender flares. 1.5" will put you about 1" past the fenders. rocks/mud....etc will run down the side of your rig. Black will show it all too. i think some fenderflares that are either painted black or LineX'd or Rhino sprayed would look really good. it will match all the black plastic items on your truck. just a thought.

Ya, I was thinking about the flares because I have 33x12.50 on my Jeep Wrangler which is also black and it is almost never clean.
I think after this my next purchase will be vent shades/visors for the windows followed by Fender flares and exhaust.( I have the jeep, 2 atv's, a harley, and the truck and none of them are stock,lol)
