That's a nice looking rim 1fast4.6 but I'm not likeing the 5 spoke...but the 6 spokes are sweet
Thanks for the help guys!
I have them on my truck and I like 'em. They sure grip like a mother F**ker. It's almost impossible to break them loose

I'm putting 295/35R22 on, they are only 3/4 of an inch taller than the stock tires, but 2 1/2" wider. That still gives me a 4" sidewall, so that the tire is not to "low profile" but till looks ok. I'm putting the Belltech 3/5 lowering kit and I hope that that is not too much for that rim/tire. Also if anyone has seen the Red and Silver 06 F150 that Stylinconcepts.com was giving away, that is the same lowing kit and size rims/tires that they put on it. So I think I should be ok.
Patrick-
keep in mind that 305/40/22 is 12" wide 4.8" sidewall total height is 31.6"
FYI for anyone to find tire info:
take the first number and divide by 25.4...that gives you the width of the tire
take that number and times it by the second numer...that gives you the sidewall height
take the sidewall height and times it but 2 and add your rim size...that gives you total tire height.
305/25.4= 12" (tire width)
12x40%= 4.08 (sidewall height)
4.08x2+22= 31.6" (total tire height)
