Love the look!

I almost got the same tires for my stock wheels

Those look great. The one thing you are going to experience is tread center wear due to the relatively narrow wheels. As the tires get down to about 50% tread wear you'll notice the centers getting somewhat shallower than the rest of the tread but its not that big of a deal. If you keep the pressures on the low side this will be minimized, and you'll have a better ride. I have a 2" leveling kit on my '05 FX4 ( which actually ended up raising it almost 2.5") and when its tire time I'm going with Toyo AT2 Extremes in LT285/75R18 on the stock rims. I just put these on my 350 and I really like them.

Looks great. Post some more pics. I would do the chalk test on your tires to get your air pressure right where you need it. I run my 325/60/18s on my stock rims at 47psi, and with normal rotations, they still look great.

I just bought a set of michelin ltx AT tires for $350 on CL. They were Tundra pull offs. Smoking deal for a set that costs $1000. They came with about 1000 miles on them. Nice tires.
