I don't know about abnormal wear, but I wouldn't run them on wheels any wider than stock. The sidewalls don't round out much past my stock wheels, I think they would almost look like they had flat sidewalls on anything wider. It would also be easier to rub something and scratch/dent your rim.

I may not do the rims, I want to many other things! I have been debating Amp Research power running boards though.

I had no issues when I put mine on w/o the level but the wheels have a bit more offset than stock.

I was looking at the black steelcraft for my truck. I love how it ACTUALLY follows the lines of the truck.........unlike most!

Bobby, do you have any pictures of your truck from straight in front or directly behind? I'd like to see how close the the tires are to the outer edge of the wheel wells. I was looking at those wheels as well but I think if I get wheels I'll probably go with the Fuel Milled Mavericks. What is your wheel offset?

5.75" backspacing, ET 20. These are as close to stock as I could find. I didn't want my wheels sticking out.

Mudweiser- If you go into my garage I have a ok pic of my truck. I have more at home just can't post right now. Its a crew cab w/a 2" AS level kit and 275/70/18 Cooper St Maxx tires. No issues with rubbing. Tires ride a little rough but have great traction. I can't stand BFG's.

I had to trim about 3 inches off the front left valence. Pulling out of my driveway would rub the hell out of it.
