Tall & Skinny wheel combo on 6" lift?
I am not sure if this is the correct forum for this but I am going to throw it out there. I just bought an 03 short bed 4wd with a 6" Superlift on it and I believe it has 315/75/16's on a 10" wheel. Anyway I don't much care for the offset of the wheels. I am wanting something that will tuck in the wheel wells better and save the paint.
I am thinking about trying some factory wheels with a tall and skinny tire. I really can't find any pics of what I am wanting it to look like except for one and it has 18" wheels on it. Running a 16 or 18" wheel would probably be ideal since I kind of want to run a white lettered tire on it. So I am looking for suggestions or pics of trucks with wheel sizes. I am wanting them to tuck and not wanting anything really wide. Here is a pic of the Maroon 03 I bought and a pic of the truck setup that I kind of like on the black truck. I really like how the black truck looks minus that style of wheel. All I know about the black truck set up is that the wheels are 18" Cadillac and tires are said to be 35's but not sure if they are a true 35" or if they are equivalent to a 35.

I like the KM2's but dang they are expensive. They have really went up in price since I bought a new set of the old Mud Terrains. Still looking at both 16 and 18" factory wheels.

Re: Tall & Skinny wheel combo on 6" lift?
There are some 35/10.50-16s. In scale they are taller and narrower than average proportions. 255/85s would look teeny with a 6" lift I think.
here they are with 2" of lift mounted on 7" wheels:

I have seen a few 35x10.50's but they were all swampers, boggers and the like. More aggressive than what I would want.

Unfortunately I did. I absolutely didn't want to after everything I did to get it but was a decision that had to be made.
