Just got new 18's

Nitto 255/55R18 Terra Grapplers on American Racing Casino 18 x 8 wheels.

I had a really difficult time finding aftermarket wheels for this truck. I figured it would be easy but Discount Tire refused to sell me anything other than stock wheel size due to rollover liability or some such legal reasoning. I really wanted something larger than the 15" rims that came stock. I considered the Cobra R's but was hoping to find something a little different. After reading many of the posts here I know that I wanted to go with the 255/55R18 tire size. I luckily found a used set of Terra Grapplers.. Love the tread design and they've been a great noiseless ride so far!

I tied back the emergency brake cable as sure enough.. it was rubbing. I have very slight rubbing in the front at full lock so right now I'm just driving carefully as opposed to grinding the sway bar. I think the next step will be to crank down the front end as I've read on here to level off the stance.

Anyway.. I'm really pleased with the way they turned out!

It looks good man! I have to get around to taking pics of mine with my new cobra R replicas. Just haven't found time.
