I am looking to getting some 18" wheels with 35" tires. Which combinations do you guys recommend? What are the pros and cons of the tires? ex. how do they wear, how loud are they, do they vibrate the truck at high speeds, etc...
Thanks in advance:ro)

I'm looking at some 18x8.5 MB Motoring Predator's. http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/findWheelDetail.do?rcz=75068&rc=TDMINT&wd=18&pc=55065&rw=8.5&bp=8-165.1*8-6.5 This particular 8x6.5" bolt pattern comes with a +25" mm offset which equates to a 5.75" backspace. This should tuck rather nicely in the wheel well. At around $150 a wheel it's pretty reasonable. A 275/65/18 or a 285/60/18 should work and look decent.
