I really like the look of my stock chrome wheels but really need some larger tires I'll go aftermarket 18x9 if they will look to bulgy or perform poorly... I don't mind too much if I'm forced into it but I'm trying to stay farm, not bling. And FWIW, most x12.50 tires are almost 13 inches wide.

BTW, I searched this and couldn't find it.

 

I share your wanting not to go city with my work truck. I am running 35 12.50 17 and have no problems. They rub slightly on the stabilizer arms at full turn. Theyy arent squirrley like you would expect here are some pics.

Hope this helps

You'll love them. They won't look bulgy or any of that..

Great, well I'm about 90% sure I want to stick to the superior stock wheels over the aftermarket bling. Some of my buddies are telling me to go aftermarket 18x9 but with the backspacing available they are going to stick out and I'd have to go with 3 inches of lift for it to look the way I want... And that will cost more there too... Compared to a comprehensive 2 inch lift. Then I'll possibly run into problems hooking up to some trailers..


Thanks, if anyone else wants to post pics too that would be great.

Thanks Shane I like her she just turned three> Ive never had so much fun in my whole life.

 

[QUOTE=tbarbee1;1518515]OOH wait til she turns 4!!! Mine just did and she's a terror.. Just had her tonsils and abnoids taken out.. I don't wish that on anyone she is just mortified. We had to rush her to the hospital last night because a scab came off and and she was bleeding... I was darned near crying!!! Actually did once it was over...

I wouldn't give her up for anything...

You can run 35's and no lift.. I did with aftermarket rims.. 17's but they rubbed on the control arms so I added the leveling kit..

Pic's as requested..

Here's a buddy's with my old 05 aluminum rims with 35

 

I cant even imagine that we havent had any thing like thet happen so far. Although at Big Loop she did shut the door of my truck on her tiny fingers they were just stuck in there she looked at me wondering what happened then started crying I opened the door, she was unscathed not even a scratch. But seeing those tiny tears is the worst!!!! She was miraculously healed after a snowcone. All is well..

 

Ouch!!!OOH yeah nutin a little ice cream can't fix!!!!

 

One of my buddies has an 05 with 35 12.50's on stock wheels, i think they look to big, the 33's he had befroe looked great. His rub on fender wells too. Good luck.

 

Does he have any sort of a lift? I'm doing 2 inches...

I really wish they made a 295/75/17 E rated tire. I calculate at 34.7x11.8... Loose some width but keep almost the same height.

 

Im runnin 35 12.50's Dick Cepek FC II Radials on stockers and i love the way they look i rub slightly on the stabilizer arm at full turn but its not bad at all. I dont have leveling kit or spacers, so it should work five. go for it man youll love it.

 

I'm sorry I did it here too I posted the wrong pic. here are some of my truck.

Looks good with that flatbed and front replacement. Any lift on it?
