I have a 2003 HD with torsion bar keys installed and 285 75 16 BFG All Terrains on stock rims. Looking for ideas and pictures for 18 in rims. Any help appreciated. Thanks....

Do you want chrome, black, something fancy, plain? Going to need some help to determine what you are really looking for. What wheels have you looked at so far? Anything catch your eye? What color truck?

Not really concerned about style/ color yet. Just really looking a size combo that hopefully will not rub. I really do not want to put a lift kit on it but I like the look of the taller rims.

See Garage for pics on an old body style - personally I think my size is the perfect combo on a non lifted truck. 18x9 with +18 offset with 285/65/18.

Had to turn up the torsions and trim the front valance and little liner trimming.

check my garage.

if you have no problems now with the 285's on 16's, you probably wont have any problems with them on 18's. just keep the same outside diameter of the 16' with the 18's. may be some slight rub at full lock.
