Please post up pictures of you truck with 285/65/18"


Recommended Posts

Why yes, yes they are!  I like the OEM style, but not really most of the Chevy wheels. I do like the GMC, so I got some take offs from a Yukon owner who was getting spinners.

Once with 0 offset Pro-comp 18x9 wheels

and it it's current form with OEM GMC 18's

 

I hate black rims, and I have the same rims on my GMC so I prefer the "now" look!     Would like to see some more angles as that's probably my next tire + size.

Check my build page in the sig. I love these GMC wheels.... yes, black wheels are WAY overplayed.

Yep I don't do chrome either hence the first thing removed from my truck was the factory chrome 20's  I tried black, but just wasn't liking it.  

 

Looking to de-chrome my LTZ all together eventually.... but that's probably played out, too :)

 

I like billet/machined wheels. I think the machined Method Standards look amazing as do the Forged Innov8's and I would have switched to those had I not got a smoking deal on these OEM GMC wheels. I like those dark grey z71 Tahoe wheels too.

At least you can see detail in chrome rims.    To each their own, but every black rim looks the same to me especially 50' away or more.   They look especially hideous on a white truck.    When someone spends bank on rims and is excited about their new look, all I can muster is "that's nice".

my response was in the comment that black rims were 'WAY overplayed'  which is a joke compared to chrome.  I didn't say black or chrome was better or worse...you are entitled to your opinion...but 'WAY overplayed' should be used for chrome not black rims...

 

usually when i go to car shows, i like to stand about 50' away and admire the vehicles.  hahahaah!

285/65r18 Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws mounted today on my stockers.   Got a huge thorn in the sidewall of my Nittos so it forced my hand last night into getting some tires today.   

 

They look AMAZING and there is some room in there for 295/65s (maybe) but I wasn't willing to try 305/65s in Falkens.

 

$1321 out the door w/ road force.

 

The Nitto TG G2s are 275/65r18 and are not LT tires and have about 45K miles on them.  The Falkens are 32" tall even mounted on the truck.    Didn't gain a helluva lot in size when they are sitting side by side, but the "WOW" factor is night and day.   Falkens a little noiser and stiffer riding than the Nittos, but not unpleasant.

 

RCX 2.5 level in front.  Rear 2" blocks + Firestone RideRite Airbags

Any level? Been thinking about getting a set of these for summer but after leveling my last truck I decided to keep mine stock and saw these tires in this size run bigger than usual I run 275/70 no issues

Not sure if this is where I should post a question however I am wondering do you have to cut the studs on a 1 inch or 2 inch spacer on a 3/4 ton Sierra 8 lug? I want to add a spacer to my wheels for a better offset but I really don't want to get involved in cutting the factory studs. Any help would be appreciated and forgive me if this is not posted in the proper section :-)
