18" WHEELS INSTALLED

Well after a long time searching I pulled the trigger on a set of wheels and tires. Went with KMC 18x8.5 with a 10 mm offset and 255x55x18 BFGoodrich tires. Only had to adjust the stop bolt on the left front but did have to do a mini tub on the rear to get them squeezed into place. Have lowered the front and rear and am running the stock rear fenders. Did not want to tub the rear but when I saw how they looked on the truck I figured it had to be done. Check my KMC gallery for pics.

Looks good. I especially like the color.
Someday, I might have mine looking half as good as yours!

Looks SWEET! KNC wheels, I'll have to check those out and I like the tread pattern on the BFG's.

I prefer the stock looking wheels but your truck looks great with any wheels on it...

Hey, so you went with 18's and not 17's huh? What a difference a set of wheels makes. Nice choice in wheels too. Too bad you had to go through all that work to make them fit. Nice job on the tubs too. I like the 18's in the rear and I wish I had gone 18's in the back and 17's on the front when I bought my rims. Too late now...

That's a really nice look. I looked through your gallery and was really impressed with your truck. I think the rims are like the "icing on the cake".
