Tires and wheels for sale local.

The are LT 275/65 R18 I currently have the stock wheels and 285/75/R16 on now and no rubbing.

Can I just trim a little bit or will I need more. I saw norcal kits but I don't want to spend $500+ on a level kit. I have a tuner and other things to buy!:D

Anybody have these wheels?

Any pics of them on a truck? My truck is white :(

The tires are Michelin's LTX A/T2 which have great reviews.

Thanks for the input!:)

After reading it sounds like they may fit if my 285's fit no problem... Would be nice not having to do anything to put them on.

Still looking for people that know for sure.

Thanks

depends on the offset and width. i run 285/65/18's on 18x9 +6 offset with bars cranked and minor plastic trimming.

Thanks guys! Looks much better IMO
Raised it up a bit also

Tightened the torsion springs all the way and cut some of the bumper but don't think you can really even notice.

Here are the pics White doesn't look as bad now :eek::)

Looks good. Do they have much clearance? Do they rub anywhere?

Don't rub on anything after trimming the bumper and tiny piece of the mud flap. Pretty tight but I cruised around and did my best to hit the biggest bumps and no rubs.

Seems to ride a little stiffer but time will tell.

Thanks
