A 275/60/18 or 285/60/18 would be a much better fit for a stock height truck. Nitto makes a NT404 that is a V rated tire in the 275/60/18 size.... I am planning on picking up a set of them soon.

overall diameter of stock 265/65/18 is 31.56, with a width of 10.43.
the 275/60/18 31.18, and width is 11.14, 285s go up to 31.46 and 11.22 wide. I wont be losing much height, but gaining the width im really looking for. Of course, it will still look like a stock truck on 18s, but until I lower it, thats really what it is, lol.
also, garrett, i noticed you referred to NNBS...my rig is an 04, this would be just NBS correct?

lol, i didn't know if u were thinking I had the newest body style or if the 99-02 was considered NBS, lol.
I have decided on the 285/60...now just to decide on which tire. I like the 285/60, bcuz eventually I do planning on a minor drop on the truck, probably 2/4, and think the 285/60 will still look good with that. I'll eventually upgrade to a 20", or knowing me, trade the truck off, lol.
