18's and tire size
« on: August 04, 2011, 12:28:15 am »
Thinking about getting some 18 inch wheels for my truck thats lowered with 3" drop spindle and 5" flip kit in the rear. Should I get the 18x8 or the 18x9.5 wheel? I also want to know what size tire would fill my wheel well and give my truck a nice stance. I would like to keep the same tire and rim size all the way around so i can rotate my tires when needed.

May want to stick with the 8's if you plan to rotate them, the 9.5's may rub.

if you want the wider look get the 9.5" wheels and run a 295/45 18 tire.  that's what i'm running on my truck currently.
