Well I decided after looking around seeing a few pictures on here and asking a few questions that I was going to get some new wheels. I saw two really nice looking trucks, one black and one silver birch that had the Pro Comp 6001's on them and decided that was the wheel in 18X9. Thought I would never buy an 18" wheel, but I did. Going to wrap them in Toyo 275/70/18E tires so that I will have a true 33" tire.

Have keys on the way and going to level it out and get them installed.

Will post pics as soon as it is all done.

which trucks had those rims on them. I too have thought those look good.

Cstevenson, look at his profile and there are a few trucks around here that I have seen. They look good.

Stumped, need tire info....325/285/275???

I just bought some 18X9.5 Pro Comp 6001's. Obviously I am going to have to buy new tires. I am pretty sure that I am going to get the Toyo A/T's as I have had such good luck with them in the past. So here is the dilemma. :think:

Should I run the:

1. 275/70-18E tire (which is 33.2" tall and 10.8" wide.)
2. 275/65-18E tire (which is 32.1" tall and 10.8" wide.)
3. 285/65-18 tire (which is 32.6" tall and 11.2" wide.)
4. 325/60-18 tire (which is 33.3" tall and 12.8" wide.)

Now when I had my old truck I ran 285/75-16's, which is 32" tall and 11.2" wide and did not have any rubbing issues. But now with a standard offset and 4.5" of Backspacing, the wheel is going to stick out a little further.

Should I run the 275 or the 285 as not to have any rubbing issues?
The 275 and 285 are similar in size but just not sure which one to run. Not sure that any of these sizes will make that much difference, might have to do a little trimming and am not concerned with that. Here is one thing to consider though, the 275's are "E" rated tires and the others are not. I don't want to have to do too much trimming, I like the look of the 325 and have not seen many pics of the others, but I pretty much know what they look like as I did have them on mine, just in a 16, so kind of strung up here and needed some opinions.

Any one else have experience with any of the other sizes listed and if so, what has been your main impressions?

325s!!

Well I have decided on the 285 since it was as close to the original setup I had on my 2004 and I know it will fit and clearance will not be an issue. I don't want to have to trim and cut the fender, valence and bumper so I just went with the 285. Should have been able to figure that one out on my own but after talking to several shops and a few friends, I got to see a truck today with a similar setup and 325's, he had severe rubbing issues and the front bumper and fender wheels were torn up from tire rub, I did not want that.

Well rims will be here Tuesday and I have decided based on another post and asking some questions to go with the 285/65-18 tire as I know this one will fit with no issues. I will get pictures up as soon as I get them on the truck. Still have to get my keys and front end alignment.

 

[TIM Z]

Awesome!!! I also like the bigger rims, im not brave enough to get 20's, but i think 18's will look awesome! PICS PICS PICS!!!! Where did you find a good deal on them at if you dont mind?

 

[GMC2500HD]

PM sent with info. Keep me post and you will get a good deal.

Toyo 33/12.50-18 M/T's

Anyone with pictures on a truck? I don't want to see lifted trucks just stock height with torsion bars raised. I was actually thinking about getting those instead of running the 275 or 285's and just wanted to see clearance, especially if you have a GMC...

Thanks.

I have the Toyo 33/12.50-20 M/T's on my CHEVY truck. I do have all the stuff in my signature (Cognito Leveling Kit, etc.). The truck is about level, I might but a 1" block in the rear. It does rubbing a little bit when I turn the wheel all the way to the the left in a tight turn. You can look in my garage to see what they look like. Also do search for member "Dunefreaks", he has 33's on 18's and thats what gave me the idea of going with 33's.

I love my tires and think they look really good in an 18" and 20" wheel. Overall I have heard nothing but good things about them. I would get them again if I did it all over again. Hope this helps...I would go with them.

http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/garage.php?do=big&p=10818 Dunefreak has them and I like alot.

 

[bobd]

mine are close to the 33x12.5x18, pics in garage. Personally I like that size better than the 325's I've got but I wanted an AT.

 

[GMC2500HD]

Cool thanks for all the pics. I knew that I had seen some on here but could not remember in whose profile. Depeding price I might do these instead and then when they wear down go with the A/T, just to see the wear differences and attitudes of the tires.

 

[GMC2500HD]

Well because of stock and back-orders I went with the 285, so hope it looks good... Maybe I will do these next time.

 

[TIM Z]

Dude, its going to look awesome im sure! Pics asap when ya get em! I really like 18's on our trucks!

 

[GMC2500HD]
