I know there has got to be someone on here runn ing 315's and 18'' rims on a 2ND gen. Its time for new tires and i would like to go to 18"" MT Classic's with them but i would like to see it befor i do.

Thank You
Bobby

 

I am running 18x9.5's Eagle 187's with 325/65/18 (35x13.5x18) Pro Comp Extreme all terains. The rims look like the M/T's with a simulated bead lock, and are probably cheaper. The tires are awesome at 80 mph they are as quiet as a car tire. They look good. I will try to get some pics tomorrow. They rub a little pulling into driveways fast with a 2" leveling kit.

 

Cool can't wait for pics

EDIT: just Googled those rims. I love them and the Price even more. what is the spacing on our trucks? 6.5''?

 

Whats wrong with 16's or maybe 17's?

It's a Dodge, not an Escalade....

 

haha I know i didn't say anything about 24's! But i hate spongy tires so i figured if i went with a 315 i should get a taller wider rim for a good solid feel.

 

I'm running 18's with a 33" tire.

 

If the handling is more important than looks, go for it.

 

Is it hard to find a 315 or 325/ XX/ R18 with a E rating?

 

I am running 325/60/18s They are about 33 x 13. Load range D but I can't feel a problem with them.

 

The only problem with Eagle wheels is they just dont hold and wont polish up again, once they dull that's it. you can maintain that dullness but they will never shine again like they did when they were new.
Now if they are chromed that's a different story, chrome rocks and I've never had a set of Eagle's that the chrome was bad.

The Cost of Eagles is there selling point, and they have good styling as well.

What if I put i good coat of Clear coat on the rims as soon as I get them?They would stay shiny then, right?

 

I like to have chrome wheels personally. They are much easier to clean, and easier to keep looking good for a long time. They are a little higher but in the long run they save you time and money.

 

Eagal dosen't make a Chrome 187 that i have found.

 

I maybe wash my truck every 2-3 weeks and wipe my rims down at that time and they still look new. I wouldn't be afraid of them loosing their shine. Even if they get really dirty you can take some Mothers polish and a small buffer to them and bring them back to new. Or even if that doesn't work you can always wet sand them and buff out. I have never had good luck with chrome rims, it seems like after a year or so the chrome starts to peel off from stone chips. It comes down to personal preferance. Aluminum may take a little more upkeep, but it is cheaper and I think they look better.

 

red12valve sounds good.

got any pics. yet? i am dien to see them!
