Finally got my rims and tires in - turned out exactly as I hoped.

Looks great....

18mm ofset?

Dang! That looks sweet!

Thanks!

Yep, 18mm offset. They are very close (probably 1/2 inch or so) to touching the plastic liner in the back of the front fenderwells when turned all the way but don't rub at all.

Sorry, not to mess up the post but what exhaust do you got on there?

got terra grapplers just a little while ago and i love em

Truck looks really nice. Did you have to level the truck any or do any trimming to get the tires to clear? Im about to put wheels on a NBS 2500 GMC and I was going to try go with 285-65-18. Your truck is looking sharp.

That's just a MBRP DPF back exhasut. I did it just for looks as I didn't like the way the factory tip looks. I'll take the DPF out one day but not yet.

I cranked the torsion bars enough to pick it up 1" and had a 4 wheel allignment done. I did it just because I wanted the front an inch higher though not because it was nec. to clear these tires. I almost bought 285/65/18's and am glad I didn't. They would rub on my truck with these rims. They are 1" taller and I have about a 1/2" at full turn now between the tire and the fender liner in the front.

hey man, trucks looks awesome! hows the room on a full cut on the back side of the fenderwell(cab side)

Thats a nice looking ride. After looking at this tread, I think i will be leaning toward putting 18's on my truck now.

That is the one spot it is very close - about 1/2" between back of tire and cab side of fender liner when turned all the way. Any taller tire and it would hit.

Thanks for the good comments!

I've always had Ford's and got away from them this time because of motor/drivetrain. I still liked the Ford truck better and really thought this one looked funny (I had the 16" rims too). I love it now and am very happy I did it!

Thats a clean looking ride..

Great combo Josh! Truck looks very nice sir.....

Thanks!

Looks GREAT...I have always thought that tire size 285 60 18 was a perfect fit but I did not know you could get it in E load range until now.

I like your setup. I'm leaning more towards a 305/65R18 (Basically 33x12.5R18's with most manufacturers) with a KMC Badland's or Hoss's. You cranked just 1" and had to do no trimming, the 1" was more for looks than necessity, correct. I think with similar offsets and 2-3" leveling kit, they should fit. I think you've just help make my mind up! :D Thanks, Chris

Sorry for the late response, been out of town. You are correct, I cranked 1" just for looks. IT is pretty close to rubbing at full turn though (probably a 1/2" or so between tire and fender well on cab side.
