I have been lookn at some different wheels and tire packages for my ex.......need them mostly for everday HWY travel and few times a year hauling to the boat ramp.

Not looking for to aggressive of a tread but want it to fit the look of the truck and provide traction at the ramp but want durablity and quiet smooth ride.

Wanted to fill up the wheel well (stock suspension) lookn at 18's and 20's

any one runnin 18 or 20's on stock suspension.

If so can u provide tire size......been lookn at Nitto TErra Grappler and recently founf the Pirrelli Scorpion ATR.which I like a lot but closet fitment is in 305 55 20.

I run the Pirrelli Scorpions and like them the best. I tried a different tire lat time I needed new ones, but I don't remember what they were, what I do remember is they were HORRIBLE! I don't know if the sidewall was softer or what but the truck felt like I was driving on fluff, it swayed all over the place. My tire guy took them back and put new scorpions on and all is good again.

just curious what those factory wheels set you back, Hoowasat? I like those alot. i understand you had to use 2" spacers though, not sure how much my ball joints would like that...

Fourwheelparts has a decent selection of 18" and 20" wheels on sale. none of them seem to be hubcentric, though. not that this is an issue for most people, from what i've been reading...
