The rims are 17X10's with a -20 mm offset. With the tire on, if you get a ruler, and measure, it's got about 15" of tire to deal with. Yes, they are W I D E.
i thought he was asking how wide are the tires...not the rims...what is written on the side of the tires???? is the 15 inches wide the two tires together???or a piece??? the widest radial dot is 355 that i could find....15 inches is a 380 tire size for the first number.

Look, a guy with a v6 revvin it up to 1700 rpm and dropping the hammer will get them to spin, sure.
Dead stop start, no power brake, = no chance of spinning tires.
MABEY with a tune.
Also when your paying close to 3 bills per tire, it's a waste of money just to show you have a bigger teabag than the other guy.
I noticed your in the military? Thank you for your service, but most of us know the pay doesn't keep you with new skins for your ride if you go around smoking them up alL the time.

I never said I drive around burning up tires, but thanks for playing. Sometimes you just gotta have fun. You know, loosen up a little. It's okay, you're probably not from the motorsport world though. Different strokes for different folks.
My pay plus financial sense is well enough for me to go burn a set if I felt like it, but that's not what this truck is for. I have a couple of other vehicles back home in El Paso to play with

hehe, i wish i could not spin off the line, it would sure help my horrible 2.3 - 2.4 sec 60' g-tech times. i have to ease on to it and then punch it to get the best times. of course you can heat them up, but i dont want to burn up expensive tires... oh well maybe one day i can get some drag radials

Interesting how this thread took off... I wasn't inferring that I wanted to peel out all the time, but I was hoping that the truck had enough ***** to at least chirp the tires. I had a 1997 F150 that would "chirp"... with a lot less HP and TQ.
