I sure don't like the streached out ricer look on the truck. The wheels are OK but by the time you got tire to fit the tread would be a foot outside the fender. It's your paint and tickets.

hears my rule of thumb when going with tire sizes and wheels. when keeping the stock rim get stock or with in 2 inches the size tires. such as a 16inch rim should have a 265 to a 285 and when jumping up to 17s go up to 315 and with 18s any were from a 305 to a 36'' tires. i only say that because you will get near to the same ride out of the combo. then with stock. but when you go up to 20s and 22s buddy your on your own its going to ride way to rough, rims and tires are expensive as heck and wear out faster... but if you have the money and like the look and dont care about practicality and the life of your suspension from taking the beating of a 22 inch rim with a rubber band around it for a tire then go for it we cant judge you. they look good but if its your daily driver and dont plan on selling the truck anytime soon then dont waste the money in something you will regret down the road. just my .02

well that didnt work. can some one tell my why every time i try to put up a pic it never lets me because the file size is too big?!? how do i re size a pic. but i think that the set up i have is perfect for our trucks they handle awesome going through turns with now tire roll over and they are still a big enough side wall to have a soft ride. keep what you have.

I knew a lot of people wouldn't like the idea of the 22s AND a crazy offset but i don't mind, it is my truck... i was just wondering which tires look the least stretched(they all look a little stretched at least) and which are the best on the highway.... i hate my nittos
. I have a rize lift so it's fine on the highway with a stock ride and beefier steering components than stock. so it's all good.BTW to the guy asking about the grill, it's an RBP grill.

well then with that said the kumoss on the blue dodge look best. but can you get it with less back spacing? if not get some big mudflaps and huge fender flares.

I'm currently running the Toyo A/T's but am getting the M/T's in 35x12.50x20 installed on Friday. I really like the Toyos, and got good wear and mileage out of the A/T's and I've heard that the M/T's are even better.

It is your truck, and you can do what you want, but the rest of us can also call it gay and make fun of it with its useless rubberbands stretched onto it
Might want to measure and make sure you're still under the 102" max width

. i have a questions for everyone, when u start putting such a extreme backspacing and have the tires hanging out almost completely from the wheelwell doesnt that cause steering to wear out really fast. everyone i know that does this replaces ball joints more then oil changes.
