more stupid wheel and tire questions...

Ok guys, last one I promise! And by the way thanks for all the help so far!


So I've decided to risk it and go with the 18" MB Blitz mirror machined wheel, and hope that I can keep the polish on them, I just fear that the chrome ones will look out of place on my truck.

In regards to tires, here's one of my questions. Should I do like Edawg, silverfx, and rat022 and go with the 325/60's or try the 325/65's? I love the look of all 3 of their trucks, but I'm wondering if the 65's would give me just a tad bit more highth, and maybe fill in the fender well just a little more? The cost of the total wheel and tire package will only differ by $100 bucks if I go with the 60's or 65's.

If the answer is yes, go with the 65's, should I opt for the 2.5" autospring kit to hopefully ensure no rubbing, or will I be safe with the 2" autospring? I understand the 2" is really 1(5/8)" and the 2.5" is really 1.75".

I hope to pull all the "goodies" together for this upgrade this coming week, so please let me know something quick!

I say go with the full 35" (325/65-18) along with the 1 5/8" (2") Autospring which will give you a very slight rake (front=1" lower than the rear)

I'd suggest sticking to the 325/60-18's. Depending on wheel width and backspacing, fittting the 325/65-18's is gonna be very, very tight.
