I am in the market for new wheels and am looking at 285/65/18. Does anybody have a pic of their stock level truck with t-bars cranked and this size of tires? I am worried about clearing them without having to trim a whole lot. I'm not really good with tire sizes so if these wont clear real easy... what size should i get to clear but still keep the truck looking good?

just what u wanted with cognito uca also , still had to trim metal though-but worth it

Where did you have to trim metal at?

 

[hobbes442]

behind wheels , u cant see it from outside . worth it though to look better.

God your my idol

Ordering mine this week! So pumped for some 33x11.5's.. Or that size pretty much. Going to try Mickey T ATZ's I think. You do anything on the rear lift or what.

I want the UCA kit and 1.5 blocks in rear.

Idk if an 04 would be different as far as trimming or not. Does anybody know?

Pm... sent!! I think that the classic body styles are not as squared off on the backside of the fenders so it shouldn't be as bad.......

I'm running 275/65R18 without too much issue. In fact i lowered the back end by 2" and the front by 1". I trimmed some plastic off the front bumper and tucked back the fender liner slightly and I have zero rubbing.

I think you'll fit the 285's without any trouble if you're planning on cranking the front up a little.

If you haven't purchased your wheels yet, you will have better fitment with a positive wheel. Something in the neighborhood of +12 to +18 should work very nicely.

See pictures in my signature.

heres a pic of mine but its lowered but in the size your looking for. i dont have any problems with rubbing.

lb7 did you have to do much trimming? it looks like you did a little on the plastic below the bumper, but cant tell other than that.

I'm not real good with wheels and tires so this may seem like a dumb question to you guys but what does the positive and negative offsets mean? I was also wondering about backspacing and what it does? I thought these determined how far the wheels and tires stuck out but wasn't sure what did what...
Thanks
