I love these wheels. But I can't tell in this picture what size is the rim and what series are the tires.

Is it like a 265/70/17 or a 60 series or what? This is driving me nutz, please help?

premier 720, pioneer 6cd changer, 12 premier sub, premier componets, 2 soso amps

still to come: new spark plug wires, new rims and tires, maybe a supercharger eventually.

 

I don't have any information on those but they sure look great.

Any comment would be a wild guess and I know you can get precise information from the dealer or the manufacturer.

 

Captain the wheels come in the following sizes

16x8
17x8
18x8
20x8

My guess would be that there 17". The tires, I can't tell but like JM said, you could call them and they can probably tell you.

Does anyone know how much those bad *** rims cost?

 

Ginuwinestylz - I know at Sears Auto, the 17x8 ones are about $440 for chrome, and $3?? for the polished ones.

 

I love those wheels!! I found some decent prices at Custom Wheels Catalog

What size tires did your truck come with?
My truck came with 255/70-16 tires I replaced them with 275/60HR-17 both these tires have a overall diamiter of 30 inches, but the new tires are 3-4 inches wider.
Here is a pic of my 4X4 with that size tire


It looks like 17's up front and 18's in the rear. Also that looks like a 2wd truck, wich could make the tires look bigger. The same tires that I have look bigger on a 2wd truck. Try to keep your overall diamiter as close as possible to you stock tires, this will help you keep all your power, and keep from screwing up the speedomiter.

OH I forgott to mention, take a look at the TSW Trackers, they are similar to the rims you are thinking of.

 

DonC - don't really care if the new tires and rims re larger then what I have. I fix the speedo and make up for the powerloss later. But my truck came with those puny 235/70/16's, which is a crime to have tires that small on a 4x4 truck this big. But I switched over to a 255/70 now and I'm happy with that size.

But I'm planning on set of semi-performance tires between 30.5 to 32 inches, either 285/60/17's or 285/60/18's

And, what kind of flares are those?

Geeky - the fender flares on that truck look alot like the ones the Xenon makes
