Thank You

If they are about 35" tall, I can't see why they wouldn't fit really well. They might be a little heavy, but it might make your 1st gear a little more useful. Scotty

They should fit fine with Rickson's. Not sure about others. I run 265's with my 19. 5's with a leveling kit and they fit great. You can also run them without the leveling kit also.

The 245's are probably the most economical route to take but the 265's look so cool.

There is a picture of my truck on the Geno's catalog (60) cover with the 265's.

Which wheels are you going to run?

 

[wmarosits]

I am thinking about Rickson's steel wheels 7. 5". Are there any other single wheels out trere?

These are Vision 81 wheels. Thought about Rickson's. Couldn't wait 6wks.

There are also Vision wheels like wcjp has pictured above. Rickson's also carries Vision wheels. Be sure to ask them about match mounting and balancing the wheels. It will make for the best ride.

I spent 40 minutes on the phone with Heather at Rickson the other day checking on the same thing. 265's will fit with either the Rickson or Vision wheels and no lift. If you go to 285 there is some minor rubbing. She was extremely helpful and offered a lot of good info, although my promised e-mail quote is 3 days overdue... ... ... ... .....

Heather from Rickson got ahold of me today through TDR. Apparently there was a mix up in the email addresses which is why I didn't get my quote. What a gal, cute accent from the northeast too eh!

I run 285/70/19. 5 Yokahama TY303's on my 06 with stock suspension and Rickson 7. 5" wheels. Slight rubbing on the control arms at full lock but otherwise perfect.
