I'm still reluctant to pull the trigger just yet. The width is about the only thing really concerning me at this point. I found a pretty good link that describes backspacing and shows a diagram example but I'd like to be a little more sure of how a 12" wide tire is going to look at stock height. It'll stick out, I'm just not sure by how much. The front will be tricky as well since they'll be 11" with a 285/60/18...Still have the option of going with 285's all around though...
It looks beastly on Stoichemans setup but I'm not sure what the backspacing on those Titan 18's are. Plus I would be running 285's up front which should be just fine.

Thats a huge help, thanks MADS99! I love the stance, those 285's up front tuck under a lot better than I had imagined in my head. I've got a 5.5" backspace so I'm assuming i would stick out slightly further than you with 285's? It's also a 19 offset, still not quite sure on how that works...I'm leaning towards the idea that 305's may just be too wide for the looks I want...

Ok, so since you have a 5" backspace, it looks like your offset is somewhere around 8-9. Bringing your mounting pad in more then makes your tires actually stick out a little bit further. So in my case it would actually bring them in a bit further.
Sorry if this is all amateur knowledge to everyone else, learning as I go here

[QUOTE=MADS99;4228617]No problem....IMO go with the 285's on all 4 corners.Here is 1 more Pics,...[QUOTE]
That's 2 pics.
I'll let it slide this time, since it's a nice-lookin truck.
BTW, box was full; I made room for 1 PM. I'll try not to let it happen again, Mike.
