Hey guys, I'm trying to get some ideas for my wheel/tire combo for next spring. I see some trucks with 285/65/18s and I really like the stance, and some just don't do it for me. Anyway, I really like the look of an 18" wheel, just need to see it on 285s and other size tires. My only suspension mods will be t-bar crank and bilsteins. Have to keep it somewhat practical for mpgs, etc. Show me what you got! THANKS!

i've got a buddy with 18's w/ bfg ta/ko I can't remember exactly what size and he is outta town. As soon as he gets back I will try to get him to get pics of it for you. btw it's a 2004 cc/lb 4x4

Check out my garage I just put 18's with 325/60/18 and love it!

Check my garage. 18" Alba Dakars w/ 285 65 18 Toyo at

I also just put on a set of 18x9 KMC's with a 325/60/18 proComp Extreme A/T. Here is a couple of pictures of it. It's been raining and cold so the truck is really dirty in the pictures.

On your putfile account when you pull up the picture there are 3 image tags below the picture that have a copy button on the right side. I clicked the copy button that has a BB to the left of the image tag and then pasted it in my post. I'm not if it's the correct way to do it but it works so thats the way I've been doing it.

Okay, call me crazy...but take a look at these two trucks. The blue one is Phatty's, a DP member, and the red one is Ryan's, also a DP member. When I look at these two trucks it looks to me like Phatty's sits up a smidge higher than Ryan's. The thing is both trucks are sitting on 285/65/18 BFGs with t-bars cranked. Both trucks look awesome but Phatty's seems to have a bit higher stance. Is it just that Phatty's probably has more t-bar cranks or am I seeing things? :)

No, thats what it looks like to me but imo I think it is the step bars that make it look a little lower. They are probably the same height but the bars make it look lower

Heres mine with 18" Moto Metal 955's covered with 285/60/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers. Many more pictures in my garage.

What is the backspacing and offset of your wheels??? I want to run those exact tires but with a different wheel!!!

Okay, I think I'm sold on the 18s. I'm pretty sure I want the Eagle 114s chrome 18x8.5 with 285/65/18 BFG ATs.

If anybody has a nice set of chrome 18" Eagle 114s they want to sell, let me know...I might be able to make a deal with you after Christmas.

I'd sell mine. They aren't in perfect shape though - have some pitting and chrome peeling. From more than 10' they look great. Since they are in the shape they are in, obviously the price will reflect that.

Yeah, I'm pretty picky. Got any up close pics?

There are a couple in my garage that you can just see the pitting around the edge where the edge and "spokes" meet. If you are picky, these probably won't be for you. ;) I do have more pics at home if you want me to email them to you, PM me your address.
