    Yup, 265/75/16 but on aftermarket rims. It's good to have them knowing how much beating they get on a trail. My stock 18" are safe and sound

    t2p, I believe Jay is looking for some off roading tires. When I switched form my stock on 18" to BFG A/T on 16" rims I may have lost a bit when it comes to accelleration - got a bit sluggish. When it comes to cornering, oh well... it's a truck not a sports car, and as much as we can push it, I am still affraid of rolling over. To tell you the truth, my set up actually makes my ride somewhat safer - doesn't let me do anything stupid.

    Well, maybe except racing that GMC Jimmy couple of weeks ago. Smoked him... Even though he had a better start, and we were equally blocked by cars in front of us.

    I got a set of those Mesa rims before Tire Rack stopped carrying them.



    I'm currently running a set of Kumho 255/55/18 Ecsta STX's on them.

    The thing you have to look for is the oversized center bore. Most wheels don't have the clearance for the 4WD hubs on the front.

    Yeah, come to find out after about 10 emails back and forth. Me asking for him to just provide specs and let me worry about fitment for wheels I couldn't find any place else online and him saying "they dont fit, they dont fit". I finally found out the only thing that really was off was the offset and that was the whole reason they weren't willing to tell me the info. With the first response, it sounded like the center bore was off so they literally wouldn't fit. Come to find out they have a whole bunch that will fit, they just dont have the same 38mm offset.
