I got the LE rims 18" stock but chromed...What would be the biggest and widest all terrain tires I could fit on these rims that would look good but wouldnt need any modifications to fender well or anything?

The BF Goodrich A/T KO's are really nice. They are not much bigger than stock but are very aggresive.

Not much. That's why I have 20s. You can get BFG in 285-65-18 or Nitto Terra grapplers in 285-60-18. That's about it. The BFG are 1/2" wider than stock and the same diameter. The Nittos are 1/2" wider, and 1.5" shorter. If you go to 17" rims you can get 295-70-17 Nittos or if you go to 20" you can get what I have.

If the tires are shorter than stock size your mileage would read higher than actually is on the truck resulting in the warranty expiring before it should. My motorcycles speedometer was off by 10% and I made them replace it for that reason only.

Could you go bigger with a prg front lift alone? if so what size. I have the 18s and a prg front lift and will need new tires soon.

I've got Toyo Proxes S/T, they're 305/60/R18. To me they look good and ride way better than the OEM's. Here are some pics

How do those 305's affect your gas mileage, RPM and speedometer?

92TripleBlack · 11-03-2005, 09:00 AM

My 305 are only slightly larger in diameter than stock. They are only 0.6" more in diameter. The truck is a little slower due to the weight. Handles better, rides better, just as quiet, gobs more traction, and the speedo is off by 1 mph at 60 mph so it isn't a noticable difference. They are 33" tires on the high side, vs. stock which are 33" tires on the low side. Unless you go to 35+ you probably don't need to worry about it.
Here's a site that can give you some good numbers easily.

The gas mileage difference is hardly noticeable, the speed is off by 0.4 miles, handling is way better and response too. Now the RPM's in 5th at 60mph is 1650 or so

Good tire find. The diameter is less than 1/4" different. This is negilgable. Good street tire.

Sounds like a good tire! Thanks.

Any idea of how the Toyo tires would do in snow? While they are rated as "all season" tires, they don't appear to be too aggressive.
