    Those are the OEM 16" wheels. With a 245/75/16. (Way to small and skinny for the truck. The 20s with the 275/45/20 are perfect!)


    That would be the ultimate goal once I either get enough money to custom make suspension components to go lower or someone comes out with a kit. Then a small lip kit and done! Definitely needs some nice new wheels too. These old a** wheels look like sh** up close.

    Thanks for the info man! I am going to be running some 265/65/17s so I'm hoping they look alright.. they'll be a little wider but just about the same diameter as your 245s.

    Did you have any rubbing issues with the 245s?

    No rubbing at all. Still have lots of room until that happens. One guy put on 285/55/20 and was rubbing. So far, that's all I've heard. Those wheels will look decent for now, but if you like that sporty look, you'll want some 20s. Or some 18x10 would look alright too.


    Thanks man! Appreciate it!

    Appreciate it! Unfortunately though, that was the end of that truck. Just traded it in for a tundra this weekend.20180526_103153.jpg
