18 inch wheels
« on: January 17, 2011, 06:26:19 pm »
Who is running 18 inch wheels on their truck? I'm debating running 16's or 18's. I've seen squares on 16's and liked it but the idea of 18's seem be a little bit of the "modern" look without going over board. Any who post up some pics of your truck on 18's.

Thank you!  ;D  I am proud of it!

I was very nervous I wouldn't like the 18's on there since there are NO pictures anywhere of a square setup like mine with 18's for me to compare to.  Well I now have the only 2wd lifted on the net with 18s on 33's I've ever seen and I like it a lot!

thanks for the heads up Jim... but after driving my scion around today... ima go with 16's and a decent side wall size... im riding on the stock 15's on it and about 2 inches of side wall... kinda stiff... so the truck is going to ride on 16's with about 6-8 inches of sidewall
