looking for pics of trucks on 18,s

I was looking to buy new rims but I like a little bit more sidewall on the rims and thought the 18,s might be a good choice but can,t find many pictures,lots of 20,s.Pics can be on static or bagged.

Re: looking for pics of trucks on 18,s

I'm interested, too, for the same reason. I like these trucks with a little more sidewall. Let's see those pics...

Try searching, plenty of threads on this, but you'll probably need to search the main forum.

Re: looking for pics of trucks on 18,s

I wanted a more staggered look so I am running 17 in the front, 18 rear 275/40. These are the only pics I could find sorry not the best.

Re: looking for pics of trucks on 18,s

I will double check tire size but I believe they are 255/55-18 front and 285/50-18 rear.
It seems like the 18s in these sizes with a little more tire was somewhat difficult. I am using Toyo Proxie 2.

Re: looking for pics of trucks on 18,s

not a complete truck, but it is on 18's. I plan to have the rear fenders on in a week or so, then I'll post another shot.
