Got My New Wheels And Tires Mounted!

[overlord1]

Finally got my new wheels and tires mounted up this morning and I'm very happy with the results. The wheels are 18" billet aluminum Centerline Stingray III's and the tires are Nitto Terra Grappler LT285/65-18. The truck rides and handles much better in my opinion than with the stock 17" wheels and tires. The ride is actually smoother compared to the awful oe Bridgestone Dueller A/T's it came with. I was concerned about losing low end torque with the bigger and heavier tires but honestly I cannot tell a difference and I have the 3.42 gears. I've got a Diablo Predator programmer so I was able to immediately input the new tire size so that my speedo reads correctly and the tranny shifts like it should. Let me know what you all think.

Looks great! If I were you, I'd crank the t-bars about an inch, just to get it a little closer to level.

Now that looks sweet and looks like a truck, glad you stuck to the almost same rims size and not some stupid looking 22" or bigger with very little tire sidewall and made it look like a getto truck.

Wow that was a stupid comment.

Looks good Ed! It will definitely look even better if/when you level it out.

I think that is a beautiful wheel. Never seen that before and I love it. Congrats on the new upgrade!
