nothing is going to give you an oem look. however +18 will be your closer choice.

Then you're going to have to get a wheel 8 inches wide with a 5 1/2" backspace. These will stick out only 1/2" more then stock. Best bet to run large tires and not rub. Only thing bad is these size wheel's are hard to find and are usually 18 or 17" sizes.

I am leaning more towards 18s now I am thinking more like a A/T like BFGs or Nitto TGs

$$$$ is a factor. I am looking at all my stuff on rimzoneonline.com its close by and that's just helping me price stuff my buddies brothers own a shop up in jersey that I may go up and visit them and get them installed up there.

Here's an example of one of the trucks they've done:

I'd go with 20's and have you thought about some Mickey Thompson ATZ's.. They are pretty aggressive A/T. I've had absolutely no complaints with them. Im running a 305/55/20 (33x12.5x20) right now.

Just check my profile and you can look at some of my pics of those..

I put 285/65x18 BFG ATs on right after I installed my 2" AS. Less than a month later, I replaced those with a set of 305/65x18s because the 285s looked too small to me.

I'd go with 18s. I have 305/55/20 (33s) and they look pretty good but a little taller sidewall would look better. IMO 35's would look perfect on a 20" wheel.

yeah man I would love to get 20s and 35s but that's some serious $$$$

It depends if I can a good deal I like to have a lot of sidewall...I'd love to keep it under 2 grand

I love them, I actually like the look of them better than my buddies BFG's... They have handled everything I have put them through... I've put about 12k on them and they still look brand new. I think I paid $1300 installed for them last Nov from 4 Wheel Parts
