    Oh, the tires are Pro Comp all terrain 35/12.5/18 and I have also put the following on the truck too:

    Pace Setter short tube headers (just because my original manifold bolts broke so I had an exhaust leak and the manifold studs/bolts were welded to the stock ones and broke on me when I tried to take them off...I couldn't find used factory manifolds and couldn't afford new ones so the aftermarket ones were cheaper from Summit lol)
    K&N filter and I modified/rigged my air box for a larger diameter inlet hole
    Transgo shift kit (just cause I had to replace the tranny with a cheap used junk yard one so I rebuilt the valve body with this kit to ensure it shifted nicely)
    Bilstein shocks all around (cause my factory ones went out so I had to buy some new ones anyway...)
    Also, I cranked the torsion bars and I'm running the Amsoil signature series, long drain interval oil in it as well as the good Amsoil synthetic transmission fluid

    Sorry for the delay fellas...They are 18" MB wheels (I think MB motoring or something like that??).
    I'm actually pretty lucky/blessed when it comes to what I was able to buy for this truck including the actual truck itself. See I'm a poor college student because I can only work part time and Ive never really had much money because my parents are pretty bad off financially (and somewhat health wise as well), so I have to use the little money that I do make to help them out pretty regularly.
    I was very blessed with an academic scholarship & grants to TCU or I wouldn't even be able to afford school.
    But anyway I'll tell the whole story even though it will probably bore you lol. See a good friend at work sold me the truck for only $4,000 because he was going to trade it in and Carmax only offered him that much so he gave it to me instead for the same price. Then, I cracked a factory wheel and rather than buying one from the dealer for an arm and a leg, I went to a discount tire shop where they happened to have these Expedition wheels on clearance because they were discontinuing that model, so I got them for only $50 each!! Then I looked on Craigslist where I found all four of those pro comp 35" tires for only like $150 dollars for the whole set! I learned how to work on cars out of necessity cause me and my family could never afford to pay anyone to have automotive work done so I had to figure things out as they went wrong lol. So because I couldn't afford a suspension lift or the labor to have a body lift put on, I just bought the 3" PA body lift since it was only like $150 or so for the kit. I unfortunatly couldn't find anyone to help me so I had to put it on single handedly...with no air tools either lol only hand tools. Let me tell you, that literally took me about 3 days working mostly the entire day...
    So anyway, I have been blessed with the truck and wheels/tires and I consider myself very lucky that the truck even looks as good as it does haha. But yeah, that's it =P sorry for the novel...anything else then just ask!
