(Terrible pictures..) The new wheels went on today!!
I think these rims gave completely transformed the looks of the truck! They give it a much better stance, IMO.. now the tires don't look so skinny!!
Before (Stock 18X8" rims):
And now(18X10" rims, same tires) -- Sorry. They were JUST installed and I went back to my buddy's shop to grab my plow, which I tucked off to the side of his (unused) area.. I have no other pictures, yet.. These things stick out a good 3-4" though, so now it's time for some nice fender flares. AND, the center caps weren't on yet.. I wanted to put a coat of polish on them first, which I did.. They are on now.

Looks real good, been contemplating some rims for my f350 too. But looking at your tread pattern, good luck plowing with an ice base...no sipes, your screwed.
I have a f250 sith some similar "mud terrain" type tires and that thing sucks to plow with..4 wheel drive at all times. now my f 350 with stock firestones gets around better in 2wd that the f250 in 4wd...go figure, but it's all in the tread design.
Just wish i could find an agressive looking tires like yours in a load range made for all season...or at least have sipes in the tread...I'm not a hardcore plow guy that keeps an extra set of rims/tires for winter time and i average 30K miles per year and like to get at least 2yrs out of a set of tires...am leaning towards trying some coppers next time. Been very very impressed with the BFG's and the life of them as well as these stock firestone steelex models, but just want a more agressive tread for summer time muddy job sites.

Well, I just got back in from plowing today's 10" of heavy wet snow that this thing is a MONSTER in the snow.. My driveway, and street, is a steep incline.. With the blade down, this thing had NO problems getting through while pushing a load and 1/2!!
They are ProComp XTerrain's, 35X12.5X18.
The rims are 18X10's with a 24MM offset.

Here are a few shots of today's fun. I couldnt' take many, because it's hard to steer, work the plow, not wipe people out, and snap the camera at the same time
And yes, those are candy canes!! My truck is so high that I couldn't see the feelers when the blade was down.. Well, I can now!!
And this field is normally so full of life.. Baseball games, dogs out running, kids flying kites.. Welcome to WINTER!!

It's a Superlift 6" suspension lift. I did fit 35's under the my 2001 with nothing more then a leveling kit.. I'm not sure about this one, though.
