your truck always looks great! BTW i have 285/50/18 and they are noticeably rougher ride and the shorter sidewall is not good for hooking... get some nitto 555r 305/45/18!

I was looking a getting a set of falken stz04's this same size but after I had lowered my truck. I kinda thought they would be too small, but after seeing this maybe not....

Nice choice! I've always liked the tread design on those tires. They give your truck a sportier look, IMO.

if I ever get ahold of some decent 18s I'm going with 255/55s up front and 305/45s out back... those tires look really nice with that drop though.

Welcome to the wounder full world of Nitto Tires

How do you like them soo far, I know that you only have them on the front but once you get them on the back you will really like them.

I have had them on my old car and loved them, I had the Nitto 555.

Truck looks awesome like always, I would love to have my truck looking that clean all the time.

I dont want to put a shorter tire on the back! 305/45 are tempting but i have some alluminum 16's for my track setup.

Yep i really like how they look, better than the bfgoodrich semi-offroad tire

Thanks again, but i dont want a shorter tire out back. Also 305's would be pushing it on a 8" rim. I know a few guys have run them on titan rims, but i dont want to risk it.

Clean, i was going to apologize because i have not cleaned it for 5 days.

I like them so far, now im 3/4in closer to the ground so i have to learn my clearances again.

You'll be just fine with 305's on x8"s. You just have to tune your pressure set up for proper wear under normal driving.


But I love the new look for sure man! They look great. I'd do 285/50's in the back, you'll have the 50 series sidewall which will help with your ride and you won't have to chalk line them to get the perfect contact patch lol! You reminded me that I need to get my tint done too...
