Question New Wheels & Tires Help

Well I am going to be upgrading my wheels & Tires. I have planned on getting the KMC Addicts and possibly the KM2s or the Toyo M/Ts. or a really aggressive A/T ??

1. Which Tire Do Y'all think I should get ? (Do 75% on road)
2. 18s or 20s (Remember Money is kinda factor)
3. What size? Mblouir and I talked about getting 33x12.5x20 or 18

Here's a picture of my Truck:


KMC ADDICTS:


EDIT: from Rimzonline.com it is $2349 for 20" and toyo m/ts

Most people seem to like 20's these days but I still prefer the larger sidewall with a little less wheel. A leveling kit, some 33x12.50x18's Toyo M/T's, and a nice set of 18x9's looks great IMO. Not to mention you'll save yourself some $$$ going with the 18's.

Personally i love the look of 20's and 22's on 33's. but tires get real expensive with those size. however, again you will kick yourself for not doing them as you will want to upgrade later on.

x2, except I might go with the BFG's. Both tires are great, cant go wrong either way.

I'm with gcart. If you're like me, you'll regret not going with the 20's.

285/65/18 BF Goodrich A/Ts. We have the same truck so maybe if someone can photoshop in the Addicts to give you an idea.

33's are too small IMHO.

20" + 35" is an unbeatable combo.

But then you have to do a skinny tire or a offset that keeps the tire in. i think 33's with a 9 or ten inch wheel with a negative offset (-12) is the trick.

ok, ok , I want them to fit like OEM. But don't rub at all. I don't wanna have them sticking out real far.
