Re: Considering running 18’s - what fits?

Yes, I found some off the shelf wheels that I think would be a great look. I usually do stick with the classic 15x8, but I thought I might switch it up this time. They’re far cheaper than new, but not cheap enough to pull the trigger on without knowing, since they wouldn’t be easy to resell up here.

The current setup (15x8, 235/70R15, 4.5” drop) clears excellent, but it’s honestly not that much tire up front. My previous truck was the same, except with a 255/60R15 tire, and I never had any clearance issues - I just don’t remember how much clearance the rim/tire had in relation to the fender. I am also taking into account that the front track width grows when lowered too.
