285/65r18 and 275/70r18 will work without a level but the 275 may rub the carpet. Either will look overstuffed on a stock truck. Levels are cheap and easy to install. Stock 4x4s look like 2WD without a level.

 

I have 275/70r18 bfg ko2 and they don't rub at all. Didn't rub before a level either, although I would highly recommend you level it... looks WAY better with these taller tires.

eBay is a great place actually. I usually go on eBay find the place with the lowest price, call them and get an even lower price since ebay+paypal charge around 8-13% fee depending on your seller level.

Hey guys. I'm new here but have been lurking around for awhile. I'm having trouble deciding on a set of wheels. I've narrowed it down to Method NVs(black or machined face) or Mesh(black), also have trouble deciding between staying with 18 or going to 17s. I see alot of guys go with 17s with methods. Is there any real reason for that beside tire cost and more options? Here is a pic of my truck for reference.

18's are as small as I would go on these trucks. I think 18's on a level look perfect and 20's on actual lifts

If you look above to 5RWill's post... his truck is levelled with 17" method NV's and 295/70/17's i believe.

 

The offset of the 17's, tire options and the wheel to tire ratio is what attracts me to them.

Will,

 

Now that looks First Class, just enough "silver" on your wheels to accent and outline the rest of your truck nicely (IMO). :thumbs:

Thankyou sir! That's the only part i'm on the fence about. I used to note like any of the chrome but it looks pretty good with the wheels. Then again i want that SCA Sierra bumper and a black rear bumper. If i did that i'd likely dechrome it. I do want a bumper that's more low profile so that that the tires are shown more. Hell if the valence that baja kits offers somehow had lights i'd probably pick that thing up and a skit plate.

Amazon prime. Shipped to my door for free. Paid a local shop $15/tire to mount, balance, dispose of the used up wranglers.

How does the warranty work with that route?

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?

      The use of absolutes like "always" to describe gear selection, and giving free advice at a boat ramp sounds like a recipe for disaster. It's a boat ramp, not a farm, for starters.   IMO gear selection should depend on the obstacle. If low range is working and this is a slower speed, controlled ordeal, I'd keep using that.

      I had a boat for many years, never had a problem even with a 2 wheel drive 93 Silvy for 20 years. Good tires, proper use of the gas pedal worked.
