i wanted to keep the stock suspension in my truck with out jacking the torsion bars or leveling kits. i did a lot of research and i found a big offset on a rim. i put a 285'60/18 on my 08 gmc and had to do barley any cutting. only on the back of the wheel well nothing on the front. take a look and tell me what you think. anybody else do this

Your truck looks good. I'm thinking of going with the cannons myself. I take it you used the positive 6 offset?
I'll probably go with the 17's though, so I'm trying to decide which offset to use.
