Very quiet on the highway for how aggressive they look. Ride great at 42 psi.

The one on the bottom is running a 4" lift and 9", 0 offset wheels. Took a good bit of trimming to make them fit. I saw the cutting he had to do first hand. The 275 should be close to an inch narrower so should have a better chance however I think you could have issues even with those tires with the wheel offset you are looking at. If cutting doesn't bother you by all means go 295s

How much cutting and trimming was required on the 295? I am debating on what size tires I want. Right now considering 305/55/20 then after that I may go 295/60/20 with a 4" lift. I am changing to +15 offset Eagle alloy series 014 rims. Same thing that's on the black widows from Southern Comfort.

 

Think there will be a lot of trimming required?

MNF!

 

Should add specs... 18-inch Method Mesh wheels with 275/70/18 Bridgestone A/T Revo 2s. Loving these Revo2s compared to the BFG ATIIs I started with... they ride MUCH smoother and actually balanced out, instead of shaking the whole truck apart. 2.5-inch level, no rub.

You should be able to get by only trimming plastic with that setup but not 100% sure

By plastic, do you mean the front air dam / air valence?

Looks great. What's the stats on the setup? Wheel size, offset and tire size?

I wanted to go back to something "more stock", thinking about taking 1" of lift off, but we'll see

 

2.5" Level + 1.5" Body Lift

22x9" OEM CK158 Wheels

305/45R22 Nitto Terra Grappler

No Rubbing / No Trimming

 

This is the best pic I have so far, will post more...the trucks sits level, but the stockers are in the bed so it looks nose high in this pic

How much money have you spent changing your rims and tires?!

Cumulatively I've actually made money, on all the mods I have on the truck as a matter of fact! It's all about buying low and selling high :)

well in that case can you buy something low and sell it to me a little above high! i would have bought the BMF rims and the MOTO Metal rims from you.

    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
