Default Thinking of getting rid of 20's for 18's

Does anyone run a 18 x 10 in the rear? I am thinking about an 10 inch wide wheel in the back with 305/45 R18 Nitto 555r's. If you have a 18 x 10 wheel can you post pics? What does everyone like??? I am confused

I'm a fan of the Boyd Coddington Timeless 6's. They're one rim that looks excellent in 18 inch. Texas Terminators truck has 18 by 10 Timeless 6's as shown in this pic: https://ls1tech.com/forums/attachmen...achmentid=4157 I think he uses 305 Nitto 555R's if I recall. Your truck would look sweet with these rims, trust me

I love my 18" Timeless 6's. They're not on yet but they look great. Brian, you could get 18x9.5's, those will hold a wide tire.

Your truck looks pretty good the way it is, personally i think 18s are too small.

just run slicks on some 16" wheels if you need to hook up

what size tires do you have on there right now?

Personally, i like 18s more. Rubber is cheaper, rims are usually less expensive aswell and there's less rotating weight (in some rims anyway).

But to me, unless you show more than you "go" thats the only reason for 20s.
