I'm a function first, looks second guy. So if they're using them for wheeling in the sand, I get it. Otherwise it not my style, but to each his own.

Nobody mentioned that a good days drive with tires like that will put a few good dings in the paint from the rocks that get thrown from the tires. but good looking trucks guys

I see these truck & tire combos running the beach in Datona Beach. It's cool down there but that's about it.

I run 39x13s on a 10 inch wide wheel... so my truck is tall and skinny but I dont mind the fat truck look. I think a 33x15.50 on 14 inch wide rim is a little too wide... but if you like it than go for it.

I ain't diggin it either.. The big lift and small tires, with the wheel offset so they stick way out, looks stoopid, IMO.. but to each his own.
