It definitely made my tires look wider just from going to a 18x8 to a 18x8.5.
Even the tire guy was surprised how much wider they looked.......since the sidewalls aren't being pulled in as much.

My 08 is coming with the 17" rims. Those are going bye bye.
I am going to get this style.
They would come from the factory with 275/70R18.
2008 with no lift, I can run 305/65R18 with no problem? What other options would there be?

I've been looking into this the past couple hours and now realize that 275/70-18 (stock) is the same tire as 285/65-18, just half an inch less width. Amazing thing this internet.
I'm going to run those rims with the 285/65-18s and go for it.

On an 08 some guys have run 35/12.50R18s on the stock wheels under a stock height truck (larger wheel wells up front vs. older 07 and older trucks).
Personally, I'd go with a 305mm or 315 on the width.
My tires are 325/60R18s and the additional 2" of width over the 275s really give the truck a better look/stance.

The problem with that size in that they are very few manufacturers to choose from. Basically toyo, nitto, bfg, and now michelin. Thats it. Each company only has one tire to choose from also.

Repeat the 270 70 18 are narrower than the 285 65 18 by 1/2"

275/70-18 (33x11.0R18)
285/65-18 (33x11.5R18)
Both show 33" height.
