hummers don't look right with 20's. i like the weld Cheyenne wheels look very nice on the trucks. that probably the best looking one i have put on. keep it like a 18x10 with a 35 or 37x 13.5 procomp xtreme AT. it will look nice, and still have some function

I gotta agree Jeff! If you want ghetto just get some spinner hubcaps from wal mart. If the truck is four wheel drive put some tires on it, not band aids...What good is a four wheel drive truck that cannot go over a curb? Oh, it looks like **** too.

18x10's with some 37's looks very nice and should fit without any difficulties (a guy I know has some Weld Velocities in 18x10 with some 37" Nitto Mud Grapplers on his H2T with stock suspension, looks freaking awesome ).

Oh, and are you planning on selling your stock wheels and tires? If so how much?

Very nice, I like the mud terrain's better, but those Nitto's are a very very nice tire. Good mileage out of them aswell

so the nittos are junk?
I thought they were a good wearing tire?
So you're saying the mud terrains are better?
I know a friend of mine got 50-60k miles out of some 37" BFGs

Goodyear MTRs last forever too, but I doubt they make them in 20"+

I made a deal on the 22"x10's on the red SUT and will have them mounted on Labor day weekend....

Jet, I don't think Pops will go that far on his, he's not in to all that. He still is just getting use to the new truck...

Here is a pic of the tires:

NITTO LT325/50 R22 that I bought...



Damn, they must be proud of that rubber, @ $400.00 a tire sheeesh.........

Looks like it'll be a nice setup, and man that's a lot for tires .

So is there any chance you'd be willing to sell the stock wheels and tires ?
