Re: wheels

Seen people run 26's without having to cut anything. With a square body you can pretty much anything you want.

Re: wheels

Yeah they sky's the limit the biggest I've seen in person is 24's. Most of the guys on here are running anywhere from 15's-22's, but running the 22's most have there truck being bagged, but it just depends on what you want.

Welcome to the forum! do you have any pictures of your ride?

Re: wheels

Great choice. I'm going to put 245/60/15 on the front of mine and keep the 295/50/15 on the rear. I'm running 15x8's
