Thanks guys!  I think I've gotten used to em and they're still cool   ;)  Much much smoother now.  The truck still rides a bit harsh (which I like)  but those dang out of round tires arent going to shake the thing apart now...   ;D  People always checked my truck out but a whole lot more of em come up to talk to me about it.   Pretty cool!

Planning to run a similar setup on my burban, could use a little help.  What offset or backspacing did you end up with on the rims? and what your center of hub to fender lip measurements?  Planning a 275 65 18 on either 8.5 or 9" wide.  Its a little shorter, but still taller than factory.

Wheel Specs are:
18x8.5",  4.75"BS, 0-offset.


Center of hub to bottom of fender lip measurement is aprrox. 20"    (Front Left Fender)

I'd get the 8.5 wide wheel.  with my 275's  on 8.5" wheels the tread isn't much wider than the rim.  maybe 1" split from front to back.  tire guys had a heck of a time mounting them...  i almost felt bad for them... ;)

And I've never had a problem with the tires scrubbing.   Only had to nip a bit off the front fender because it was almost touching otherwise.  I cut the metal off rather than roll it back because if i has rolled it back it would have blocked one of the water drains.  Thats the old 265/75R16 tires in the pic BTW.
