I like it! Rims are very cool, and the tires are tough. Gives it a great stance.

i wish i woulda gotten some pics of the 17's i had on there with the 315/75/17 bfg's. It looked pretty nice!!!!


but...u went with a smaller size tire and larger wheel? Problems with the tire size?

i read about the wheel troubles...what make wheel did u try in a 17, and did u go with the same make wheel but in an 18?

my revtek leveling kit arrived last week, currently shopping the tire/wheel issue right now...revtek claims 35"s but only on stock back-spaced wheels... would love to learn from your trial-n-error! looks sharp...i have the exact same truck, including color ;-)

This is the rim i was going with.
http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/fin....5*5-5%252F5.5

I ended up getting
http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/fin....5*5-5%252F5.5

Its the same rim....only in the 18" and at -6mm. I think if the offset had been maybe around -15mm...the 35" tires wouldn't have rubbed. It was just a minor rub on hard turning. Of course i never really got to check it out, being that i only drove about 20' b4 i knew there was an issue with the rims rubbing on something.
I was going to get the 305/65/18's but they were on backorder. The rep said the 285/65/18's would still be bigger than what i had. He was wrong, i said that striaght to his face. I got an appologie from the manager, and i will get a discount on the next set of tires that i get there.

Now i just have to sell these 20's and make some money back:\

Looks good man. Makes me wonder what 285's will look like on a 17" wheel.
I have 285's on my 17's. You can see them in the gallery here:
