Does anyone run 18 inch wheels on their truck? I'm curious if they will fit
Background. When I lifted my truck I also installed 5 inch fender flares from Bushwackers. I then fitted the wheels and tires to the fenders, meaning I bought 15x10 rims and 31x12.5x15 tires so the edge of the rubber met the edge of the fender flares. I now need new tires and no one makes 12.5 in 31's anymore and going to a 32 and 33 tire isn't an option because my truck is a 2.5 and I lost too much power installing the 31's.
The tire size I need is still being made in the 18" size so I would have to install 18 inch wheels.
