Currently in the market for some wheels and tires now,

Wanting to do a 22 inch wheel in a 10 or 12 wide. Questioning if I can fit either. Not to mention having a tire that il feel comfortable putting on the truck without worrying about it blowing out due to a lower profile tire and it not having an appropriate load range. I don't ever tow anything however, other than a 22ft boat in the summer.



There are 285/70/17 Terra's on the truck right now with some 17x8.5 or so XD wheels (that's a guess). Here's how far I am so far. I will be doing a rear fender mod but the front bumper clearance is what I'm worried about

Looks nice! Would like to see more pictures of the truck! My truck is white, and I need to paint it, debating if I will paint the grill and white it out.

depends on the offset of the wheels. My 20x10 novakanes are -19 offset and I had a 2 inch drop shackle and had to do the fender mod and then some.

I am actually going to sell these wheels. A 20x12 would be a tough crowd for sure...
