I'm looking to put some 18's on my truck over the next few months, and I've been trying to decide the tire size, and not a low-profile. Right now I'm thinking 255/70, but I'm looking to see if anyone has some pics of 18's on their truck, and what size tires they are running. Also any recommendations for tire models? I don't take my truck off-road, and I drive a lot of highway miles to and from work, so I need something that rides good. I plan on also putting in a 1-2" BL while I'm at it.

 

heres 33's and 17's on my 4wd

 

here is mine with 18x9's and 285/60/18's

with a 4inch superlift



here it is stock

 

t5cents, that size isn't bad. I think I'm going a little taller sidewall, though. Based on seeing your pics, I might go 265/70, as it would give me another inch of height. I'm looking at 18x8.5s.

Looks like I'm going to end up going with 265/70/18 Falken S/TZ04. I'm hoping to pick up the rims next week, and the tires and BL by mid Feb.

 

I am doing 20s on 34s sometime this spring. Will see how that goes


flamesuit on

Flamesuit on? Should look good to me

Ditch the flamesuit. 34s on 20s should be pure sex. Have you picked out your rims and rubber yet?

 

I already have the rims from a previous suv I had but I put them on CL since I really want some black with chrome lip'd rims. Still not sure on the rubber

OK, I can't seem to decide on rims, so I'm looking for opinions:

These in 18x9


or:

These in 18x8.5


Going on this truck:

 

eww....i dont like either...those belong on a car...IMO

LOL. I think once they're mounted with the large tires on them they'll go very nicely.

 

here is mine, its 4wd now, but this was back before the conversion and body lift...

Yeah, I've seen this pic you posted somewhere else. I like it, although if mine fit like that I'll probably add spacers to widen the stance a bit. Funny, but I had looked at those exact rims for my Exploder before I decided to get the Ranger.

 

the first rim you picked looked ok,but that second one looks like a ricer rim

 

brodozers

 

OK, I did a quick photoshop out of a pic I saw on here by chance (happens to be 33s on 18s on the same color and front end as my truck, with a similar lift to what I plan on doing--I forget who's pic it was, but I hope you don't mind me using it) with each of the rims. Although I was leaning a little more toward the 5 spokes, after doing this, I think I like the 10 spokes better.

 

hahaha yeah mine was

 

nice photoshops by the way....id go with the 5 spokes tho but clean and paint the calipers really well

 

ick neither man. btw where you at in maine?
