Which tire size?

Which tire should I get for my truck. I think I am going to go with the 2" Autospring, Pro Comp 6005 wheels and Toyo Open Countrys either in

285/65R18
or
325/60R18??

Thanks

In my opinion go bigger. I have a 2.5 procomp leveling kit with Nitto TGs 285/65R18 and I think they look small. You can check my gallery for pics. You could also check out some 305s...they equate to a 33 x 12.5 tire if you do a 60 series and a little bigger in the 65 series. Of course the only 65 series 305 I have found is the BFG and they are pricey. I am definitely going bigger when my 285s wear out.

Yeah that can be tight but your back spacing/off set of the new wheels will deal with that. Some guys on here have said they have some rubbing and others have said they have no rubbing so I think it depends on your off set. If you are really worried about it you should definitely look into the 305s since they are only 12.5" wide.

With that said take a look at my gallery and judge for yourself if you think the 285s are to small...I think they are to small but it is just my opinion.
