Wheel and tire change
Finally did it!! Went against the tide of bigger wheels and went back in time. What do you think?
Chrome wheels are 18 x 8.5 with Toyo Proxes ST 255/55 Ralleys 15 x 8 front with Mickey Thompson 28 x 10 Sportsman SR 15 x 10 rear with Mickey Thompson 30 x 12 Sportsman SR I have the stainless trim rings but I kinda like the look without. The way the trim rings grab onto the rim I don't thing they will come off without scratching. What do you all think, rings or no? By the way the truck has 2.5 drop spindles with stock springs and 4" lowering springs in rear with 1' drop blocks. Thanks for looking.

Re: Wheel and tire change
a great change - just because big wheels fit does not mean that they belong. since there are no shiny parts along side of truck the trim rings would be a good accent,

Looks good!
I see you have a Gaylord lid on your truck, too.
