Update:

I not only found another set wheels I think I like better, but also found a better deal from a different dealer. I went to the original dealer today and tried a couple sets on my truck. Here are some pics:

This one is the one I had picked out yesterday (from original post):




This one is a chrome American Racing "Fuel". 18x8.5 with Nitto Terra Grappler 325/60-18, 33.4" dia x 13" wide.






The Black Chrome was too dark, I decided against it. Also, I decided against a 20" wheel. I really like the meatiness of these tires on the 18" wheels.

I am also going to sell my OEM's myself. I am pretty sure I can get close to $1000-$1200 for them based on my searches on Ebay and Craigslist. Certainly more than $750 for sure. The dealer down the street that has been in business for MUCH longer beat this dealers price by over $250!!!

Wheels, tires, stems, nuts, locks, lifetime balancing, road hazard, Level-Lift....complete, out the door, tax included...$2536.32


Sound better?

Sorry about the crappy cell phone pics, here is one from the website:

Did you rub at all with those size tires?

Vmax2007

They guarenteed me they won't. But they do require the 2" Truxxx Level-Lift in order to clear. Also, I may need to replace my contoured front mud flaps with flat rubber ones, which is fine by me.

I have a 2.5" leveling kit on mine right now and I am running 285/65/18 Nitto TGs. They will turn full lock and do not rub on anything, but there isn't much room to play with.

Also, Nitto does not recommend mounting that tire on anything less than 9.5"s wide. Will your shop mount that size tire on an 8.5" wide wheel?

I am thinking about going with a set of 18x8.5 MB Gunner 6s in chrome. I know a lot of people have them on the forums, but not around here. If the tires that you mention will fit that size wheel, then I am going to go up in tire size when I buy my wheels.

The tire I looked at, a 325/60-18 Nitto Terra Grappler had a sticker on it that said to use rims 9"-11". Both dealers I have been speaking with agreed you can cheat by 1/2" at most. So, yes, you can run this tire on a 8.5" rim. However, I am now buying this Ultra "Lightning" wheel, which is 18" x 9" with the 325/60-18 Nitto Terra Grappler tire which is 32.9" dia.
