Default Pics of 18" wheels

Can anyone post up pics of 18" wheels on a 2wd. Thinking of selling my 20's and going back to some 18's. Would like to see what they look like. Thinking of going with a 285/50/18 on a 8.5 or 9" wheel.

I like that setup!! 295/18's I think is one of the best looking combos.

On the pic, those are 20's or 18's??

18's, I have some pics from the side and the back as well if you wanted to see how they sit. I give credit to creederado though as his truck is what gave me the idea.

I'm considering a set of gray 18x8.5 American Racing Torq Thrust ST wheels with 285/50-18 tires so I would like to see some pictures also. Agreif, did you notice a difference in acceleration after installing your 18" wheels and tires?

To be honest I couldn't tell a difference. I know that this setup was 7lbs lighter per wheel though. Here are some pics.







There are a couple more here: http://home.nycap.rr.com/agreif/Truck/
