For you guys with the monster lifts and the really big tires. I want to lift my truck and put 38x15.50 Toyo Open Country MTs I am not sure about what wheel size. I would like to do 18in wheels but Toyo recommends 12in wide wheels and I dont see that many if any brands of wheels for trucks that are 12in wide. Anybody have any ideas or know what brands are available??

Since your goin all out put at least some 20x12s on it.

Yea that is what I am thinking I might have to do. It is just that 18in wheel tires are cheaper than 20in wheel but I guess 25-50 bucks a tire difference at 500 bucks a tire isnt really a deal breaker especially when I will have to regear and do all of the supporting mods for the front end to hold up. where I wouldnt have to with a smaller tire.

I am a fan of taller side walls than wheels. A 20in wheel would be the largest I would go.

My real question here is should I really go with a 12in wide wheel or can I get away with a 10in wide wheel??

One other question. What is the factory backspacing on the 06 18in wheels? not a dually.

No I would like to stick a 15.5in wide tire on a 10in wide wheel if I can.

If you are gonna do a 38x15.50 i would go with a 20x12 wheel. I had that setup on my 03 and it was perfect!!!!! Zero rubbing at all, not even on the leaf springs at full turn!!

you will probably rub on your bumper and possibly the back side of the fender
