Taking delivery next week of new 09 Dmax and need help with wheels

I have decided on the American Racing Chrome Cannons in 18"




What i need to know is what size tire to go with without having to raise or level the truck?

On another note, I'm seriously considering also adding the Cognito Stage 4 Leveling Kit from Nor Cal. If i go with the leveling kit what size tires can i get away with without having to worry with any trimming, etc.

And for the last question who has the best deals on these wheels and tires?

I appreciate your help!

Yea, they will probably be hard to keep clean.

I may shop for a different wheel.

Regardless what size tire to go with on an 18" wheel without touching the suspension and what size tire if i decide to level it?

Thanks for your input!

I really like the style of the Cannon wheel.

Maybe the black and polished wouldn't be so hard to keep clean?



Might look good on a white truck too.

I believe most use the 285-65-18. The true 33-12.5-18 can still rub from what it seems.

what about 305/55/18s
Thats what the ready lift shows in there ad for the leveling kit on their duramax.
Looks like most run 285/65/18 with leveling kit.
Wish pro comp made the extreme a/t in that size.
