Yeah, 17" wheels with 285/70/17 BFG's. I looked at the 18's but the tires got way to pricey for another inch...


Here's a close up. I think the wheel would look pretty sweet on your truck. They have a -11 offset so they stick out a couple of inches...

isnt that wierd.... given the same outer diameter, a 17" tire costs less than an 18" tire..... more rubber, less money..... what gives !!! it must be based on supply and demand, and most consumers want the bigger wheels these days.
thats why when my defective wheels got exchanged for warranty, i went back to a 17" wheel to keep the tires more affordable !!!

Yeah, can't blame you there. The wheels aren't that much different in price but, from a 17 to an 18 tire they can be near $100 more each...

true true... i'm going to keep 17's as well... for one, they're cheaper, and two, i don't like big rims on big tires... lol. i really like those rims though. how much did you pay?

I found them on www.rimzoneonline.com for $150 but got Discount Tire to match the price so I didn't have to worry about getting things shipped (and damaged). Paid about $250 per tire from them...
