Here is my 2009 with MB Motors Gunner 6 18" wheels with 325/60R18 Nitto Terra Grapplers. I now have 305/65R18 BG AT/KO's on the same wheels but I do not have any pics of it right now. The wheels aren't really "Chrome" they are called "Anodized".

Did the bigger tires rub? Just curious why you went back down. Did you have the wheel sensors? If so what did you have to do to correct the issue?

Well the 305/65 is actually a taller tire than the 325/60 and I wanted the taller tire to help fill in the wheel well area better. Also the 305/65 is only about .75" narrow so I did not mind giving up that much width for a little more height. I had/have no rubbing issues with either size.
Not sure what you mean by wheel sensor?

I just got BFG mud terrains on my 11' xlt I still have the stock rims but am very impressed with the tires. they are 255/80r17 it comes out to be a 33. they are skinny but thats what I wanted because skinny tires sink and grab firm ground in mud holes... and thats what I use the truck for on the weekends. they don't rub at all and I think they look really good. I will post pictures as soon as I can figure out how.

King Ranch,
No issues with the air preasure sensors. The tire shop just took care of all of that. They still work great as one kicked on a few weeks ago, turned out to be a faulty valve stem. Shift points seem fine...truck runs as good as it did with stock stuff on it.
