how low is your truck?

I think you might be able to pull off some 295/45/18s. Damn good steal you got there

Hey Stewart:

"SET UP TO RUN ON A STOCK OR LIFTED PICKUP THEY WILL NOT FIT A LOWERED VEHICLE-NO ROOM"

I hope it works out for you though

I'll trade you a PF59 for those 17" stockers

im not worried. i put on a 16x8" rim with 4.5" backspacing yesterday and it fit fine. it also had a 30" tire on it, that was just barely too big. these wheels have just a bit more BS and ill go with a 285/50 18 hopefully.

EDIT: and I take it that's a "no" on the PF59 deal?

i wouldnt put a huge tire on there. thats just me. maybe like a 275/40 on there. i belive that would look nice.
or a 275/45.
275/40 = 26.66
275/45 = 27.74
295/45 = 28.45 this tire looks best on a stock height truck just level.
