Smokin, did you have your bumper painted body-color as well (top & bottom).

 

ttt ... need advice on 18" tires

for an 18x8" wheel, would either of these be ok in the back:

295/45/18
285/50/18

thanks,
Chris

 

mine are 18x8 and i am running 285/50-18

 

My 20's are 8 inches wide and I have 285/50. They stick out way too much for my tastes. I'm going with a narrower tire next time.

 

TrueSS, are you running 285's up front? Any rubbing???

 

I have 285/50 on 18x8.5 with no fitment problems what so ever. I have exceded my bandwitdth this month so I had to attach a pic. These are with the old Yokohama AVS tires and Hotchkis 2/4.

 

That looks good ... I think I'll go 285/50 all around. I wish they made a 275/50 ... oh well. I'd really like the sidewall height to be around 132mm or so ... like the Lightning trucks, but I'll just have to settle with 285/50 (sidewall height of about 140mm).

 

I painted my bumper cap and Air dam.

 

Thanks for all the pics fellas and i think i going to go ahead and go with a 285/50 set up. Now what kind of tires? Any idea of what kind of tires would be good. Lance i like the set up you have, isn't it nitto's?

 

No rubbing!
NITTOs are working great for me!
