Unless you're parked, they're gonna look the same. They pretty much look the same anyway.

Jesters. But I'm biased.

I had these Pro Comps on my Heep, they are kind of like the Jesters and MT.

They'll fit but you may get some rubbing on your control arms. Ideally you want -12, 4.5 backspacing.

When I first threw my MT's on my truck I was a little disappointed with how shiny they were. Some tire shine will help but on a clean truck the wheels will just stand out a lot. Realistically though my truck stays clean for a day or two at most after its cleaned and once the wheels get a little dusty they dull up enough. Still very happy with my purchase.
