I’m thinking about buying a set of 17x7 or 18x8 black Ridler 650 rims. I’m not sure what size tires would look best on my truck. Any suggestions would help, don’t know much about tires. Pictures of truck included. Thanks

tires and wheels can have the biggest impact on the look, ride, feel overall style of the truck. you need to match them to your liking. in my opinion old school 15'x look best on a square body. personaly im running 15x8 front and 15x10 rears. and i like them but thats my style.

Well I think you already have the best looking tire/rim setup.

Welcome. @Blake Henry
Yeah those Alcoa's were a premium wheel when these were new and are still desirable. The tire you have on there looks oversized for the rim. I do like the wheel you posted which may be a minority here.
When I'm looking for a wheel/tire I have to start with the OEM tire size to know what the driveline was originally spec'd to run. Then see what you are willing to change/sacrifice and go from there.

Maybe lowered a tad as hard as thst is for me to say.
Holy ****, did your fever break? ;) Finally going in the right direction.

Hey for a 2wd, I am good with the lowered look. In a tasteful way. Not those tiny tire(drive on 3 wheels) lowered people though. Saw that today, well yesterday.


Think I have mentioned- I wanna lower my awd Aviator 2", thats all thats available.

I am coming around. I am not as far as hydraulics, or air bags yet, maybe ever.

But coils, and springs. I can accept that.


Not the RIGHT direction! LOL

Welcome fellow Buckeye, just a little East of you. I'm with Ben, I prefer 15 in" wheels. Nice Chevrolet.
