Question BFG 305/65/18 White Letters In or Out???

Need your opinions...White or Black out and Why???

I have a 2006 Screw King Ranch Two Tone with Ranch Hand Grille. I will be using stock rims and have a 2.5 skyjacker front spacers.

Wandell.....do you think I will be fine with these tires with the 2.5 but with the addition of a grille on the front??? It looks like it dropped a little in the front when I put it on (not much though).

Black or White Letters on my soon to be new BFG's......thanks!

I like the white letters out on the BFG A/Ts because the sidewalls aren't aggressive looking enough to be plain black IMO. I think the M/Ts look better black though.

What color is the truck?
Normally I would say black walls.

I think you will be fine. I'd go with the black letters out.

I like the white letters out on my truck, but it's all silver. I'd have to agree with the black letters for your color scheme.

white letters out for sure!! Check out my gallery, I think it looks much better than the black letters, sportier I guess, but thats just my opinion.

Black letters out for me.

White letters are hard to keep clean. I don't like that. I also think that white letters take away from the styling of the wheel, especially if it's chrome.

Go black and don't look back.

Befo...

My BFG's pick up dirt on the letters so quickly, they look like blackwalls now. I'd go white letters IN.

Yep, the white letters will get dirty and are be hard to re-clean, especially if you go off-road at all. I got clay on mine and they never looked the same after that.

Letters out. A little Westley's Bleache White will clean them up, mine always did.

Post some pics, I'd like to see that Ranch Hand.

I think they can look good either way. Personal preference really. I went with the white letters in. Maybe if I had chrome on my truck I'd consider white letters out...maybe.

Im going to have a agree with Ian on this one... White letters out. But, I can understand when it comes to the color scheme of the truck. If your worried about keepin' the letters clean...a little simple green and a rag will get them back to new...
