285/60R18 on XD Monsters - PICS!!!

Take one off and measure.

BTW, in case anyone was ever wondering the bs on the stock rims is exactly 5.5". I found it funny that I couldn't find any DEFINITIVE info on that. I measured.

 

Looks nice!!!

 

Looks good! I think a lift would make it look even better.

 

your rig looks awesome dude... very clean

 

Wow, nice new truck you have there!!!! Doesn't even look like the same truck. Where your tires stick out past the fender you might just as well ditch the flaps as you are gonna have crap all over the side of the truck anyway. IMHO.

 

nice

 

I'd be interested to know if you ever find out...just for future reference. I was shooting for your look to start with. I really didn't want them to stick out quite this far. In my mind, 1.5" was the max.

 

You could always throw Toyo Open Country a/t's on em in a 265/60/18 and you would be good to go.
Aggressive look and not too expensive.
Just my two cents...

 

OP: looks good! I would take off the front mud flaps and get some 3M clear tape done on the lower panels to protect from rock chips. Leave the back ones on as they shouldn't cause a problem.

 

Mud flaps are already gone. Just an ever-so-slight rub still in reverse at full lock.

 

did you trim your fenders?

 

Had to make a small 45 degree cut just behind the wheel...



I will be making this cut (yellow). Notice the other area that is rubbing (red)...I think I'm just gonna let that continue. You barely hear it, and after the lift, it won't rub 90% of the time. But the cut has to happen...

 

Hey bro, i dont think your wheels are 4.5 inch backspace? i have the same setup as chris4x4 and mine were also about 1/8th inch from the stock uca's!

 

and mine didn't stick out as much as yours does. mine was maybe an inch!

 

Yup. Measured them before putting them on. 4.5" backspace on an 18x9 rim (actually measure 10").

Think about it. The stocks are 17x7.5. I (we) have put an additional 1.5" on top of that with the 9" wheels. The 4.5" backspace adds yet another 1". So, from the stock wheel location we are going to go straight out from the truck another 2.5"...plus the amount of the sidewall bulge. The stock wheels/tires were just about 1/4" from the edge as it was...so 2.5" minus .25" gives you my 2.25" outside the fender.

I think you guys scored some 5.21" backspace wheels. Taking a look underneath my truck, I have a little over an inch from the UCA to the sidewall, which it should be (5.5" vs 4.5" bs). What do you have?

 

Damn maybe i did? I didn't measure them when i put them on so i'm not exactly sure? I thought they were 4.53" backspace? i had about 1/8th inch of clearance from the stock uca's. and my tires just stuck out barely an inch or so!

 

I wish mine stuck out as much as yours! would look better with my bushwacker fender flares!

 

ok i think i f'd up! i think mine are 5.47" backspace and -12mm offset? Does that make sense?

 

Looks great

 

What's the width of your rim?
