I've got 275/40ZR18's all the way around with a 2/4 belltech drop... The tires are a little short but they work well and handle great. They are Good Year Eagle F-1's I have the torque thrust S/T's in all chrome but I want the 20's with the grey to go with my truck a little better... Check it out... better pics to follow.

What are those wheels in the "previous" picture? They look great. Are they 18" and what if so, what width and backspacing?

Those wheels are hard as hell to find. Think they have quit making them. Its what I wanted when my 20's came around.

yep... I found that out the hard way when I spun my truck into a curb and broke the two rears... no more 18" Torque Thrust ST's.... :bawl: I dont really like them in 20's either personally... looks like I'll be going with some Boyd's or American racing's in the future.
