Lookin's good! You might look into these for tires....... they are Dunlop SP Sport 9000's..... cool tread design and reasonably priced for the size.

Hey slammed67. first of all thanks for helping me with the backspacing questions. I've been looking at the dunlops. I want to go with a 265/35/20 in back and possibly a 245/35/20 in front. After a little research I was able to purchase the wheels through Americas Tire Co. a lot cheaper than going through the company direct.

You might re-think your rear tire choice..... that rear tire size might be a little too narrow. I've got 285/40's on mine and I think amything narrower migh tlook funny. Or I could be wrong. You might look into it.

Those are some seriously sweet rims man. Those are the same size wheels I want, but I want much wider tires. Like atleast a 285 wide rear tire. I'd like to see any other pics you have along with other details of your truck.
Sweet ride man.

I was looking at over all diameter. Looking at other trucks( in magazines) That red one says it has 225/35/20's with 10" wide rims. Theres been a yellow one featured as well with 275/35/20's and 10's. I was trying to hit right in the middle for the look I was after.

i had 225/40/18s on some 18x8.5s and they barely fit the rim, and besides no one makes 225/35/20s, i believe the smallest 20 tire size offered right now is 245/35/20s (correct me if im wrong) and trust me those are rubber bands. when it comes to diameter difference due to difference widths on 35 series tires, the difference is pretty small considering 35 series means only 35% of the width. diff in diameter between 275/35s and 285/35s is 3/10" |

You've probably seen the article. It was Navarroized. Maybe it was a misprint. The article said he was running 225/35/20 with a 10"rim in back and 195/35/20 with an 8.5 in front. I kept looking and trying to compare with other wheels and tires and they always looked smaller. You are right I've been hunting for tires and I believe the smallest I could find in a 35 was 245. Hmmm I might have to rethink the tire sizes. Once again this board has proved to be a priceless tool. A little more food for thought. Thanks guys.
