RideRed1 12-02-2006, 11:44 AM I just ordered some 325/60r18 toyo a/ts and some diamo 8 karats for my truck. Now im getting a little nervous if that 325 is going to look horrible on the 9" rim. I went and looked at a truck yesterday that had the same 325's but on a 10" wheeel, looked awesome. Is the inch difference going to make the 18x9s look too bubbly and bad looking? Blue Max 12-02-2006, 12:02 PM Probably just wear out the centers on the treads. I would want a 10" wheel. sthornley 12-02-2006, 12:12 PM 29725 Here are some pics of my new diamo 8's on my truck. I must admit i was a little nervous when I first ordered them I thought the same thing, but once I got them put on the truck, I think the look awesome, but thats just my 2 cents. Good Luck Z71offroader 12-02-2006, 12:22 PM 9" should just be right, a friend of mine put some 325s on 8.5" wide wheels and they work, but another 1/2" should help. RideRed1 12-02-2006, 02:34 PM sthornley thanks for those pics. your truck looks awesome. Ive got the same color combo and all. I dont think ill have any regrets. MilwDiesel 12-02-2006, 03:26 PM Any rubbing issues on that setup sthornley? After my first day of towing in snow with stock rims I might make a purchase this winter instead of spring. I like the look of 18's on these trucks, lifted or not! sthornley 12-02-2006, 03:38 PM MilwDiesel, nope not really, just a little trim on the valence, and in the left wheel well where it rubs a bit, but nothing a little razor wont take care of!! And my truck has not been lifted a but, just about 5 turns on the torsion bars southbayrhino22 12-02-2006, 05:13 PM sthornley you should flip your tires around the white lettering dont look so good. Just my 2 cents JOHNNY BAJA 12-02-2006, 05:52 PM You will have no problems at all with running 18 x 9's with those tires. I have the same wheels on 35 x 12.50 - 18 Diamos and have had no problems with wear or fit. -Johnny http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l66/Johnnyi55/GMC%20TRUCK/GMC011.jpg http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l66/Johnnyi55/GMC%20TRUCK/GMC007.jpg MilwDiesel 12-02-2006, 06:20 PM Great to hear! I think I will make the purchase. Even better is I have the same truck so now I am almost sure of chrome instead of black/chrome rims. I like the way those look! Baja, your truck is sick! How is the Rancho lift working for you? I posted in another thread about Rancho lifts vs Cog, and CST etc. I can get 1/2 off Rancho products from a family members discount. I am wondering if the "others" are all that much better for the huge price difference? My wife is not to happy I found this place LOL! sthornley 12-03-2006, 02:43 AM Redride1, let me know when u get your tires and wheels, want to know what you think of them!! RideRed1 12-04-2006, 12:00 AM Alright i will, they are supposed to be in tomorrow, If they are Ill try and post some pics either tomorrow or tuesday, Ill keep ya posted. Thanks again for all the input m.gil 12-04-2006, 08:27 AM friday i ordered my christmas present, 4 - 325 60 r 18's mounted and balanced w/caps and lugs/on some po comp 6001 series . c stevens did the same set up on his truck with no lift and it looks great! sthornley 12-04-2006, 09:12 AM Don't ya love buying Christmas presents for yourself:D MilwDiesel 12-04-2006, 05:32 PM Every year at X-mas Santa buys me a major tool upgrade to add in my trailer for work. This year I might force Santa to break his tradition. :anitoof: RideRed1 12-07-2006, 11:08 PM I finally got it done yesterday, Im really impressed with it.
