jperea,

understood but for that big of a price difference I would like to see what the 60s run. Can you post the info when you get home or wherever you have it. I can provide my email address if you would rather do it that way.

This is a pretty good deal. Take this to any tire shop and they should match it. Thats how I got my tires from the local shop.

It's not loud, just deep and throaty. The Air intake seems louder. It was an easy install. I would definitely recommend it. Banks Power is the SH%T!!!

jperea - Do your center caps say ford?? or do they say eagle? Looks like the close up pic in your gallery they say ford on them-

would love to get a set of centers for the eagle 178s that read
ford.

So everyone with the Eagle 178s are happy with the quality??

I am thinking about ordering them this week.

I have a few questions for anyone who has the Eagle 18' 178 wheels.

5) How far will they stick out with the 325 60 18 tires?

Thanks in advance for any answers or ideas!
I don't know which tires came stock on your truck 255mm or 275mm wide tires. The 325mm wide tires should stick out approximately 1 to 1.5 inches wider on each side than stock.

Stock wheels are 7.5 inches wide and have 5.5 inch backspace. The eagles according to some who have posted are 9 inches wide and have 5 inches of backspace. So, the wheels will stick out about 2 inches further than stock to the fender side.

So for the width, 1 inch to 1.5 inches on the tires plus 2 inches for the wheels means the new setup will stick out 3 to 3.5 inches further than stock.
