Just yesterday I bought 17" rims and wrapped them in 295/70/17 Nitto TG's... and they look Awesome! I did add the keys to the front to bring it up a little. The 33" tires are perfect!

Oh, I missed the wheels AND tires. Duh - sorry. Isn't there a price difference between 17" and 18" tires of the same model (thinking of future purchases)?

I dunno why y'all are looking at P-rated metric tires anyway? It's a truck, get an LT tire in 33x12.5x17 or 33x12.5x18!!!

Oh, ok when I pulled up the Nitto site, the first couple of metric sized tires were P-rated, I see now as you get into the larger ones they are LT.

Forgive me, I don't buy metric size tires as a rule... LOL

so nothing, just saying I'm not familiar with metric sizing and I've always found that 33" tires were a good fit and look on standard height 1500.

BTW, why are you replacing the Zeons?

This is America. Buy SAE sized

Go for the 295/70 17's Wider than the 285/18's and will be just a tad taller than the 20's you have now if you have 275/60r20's now.

I Hate the wheels and i don't like 20s so getting new package. I want 33's but 285 65 18 measure under that so I'm skeptical.
