Abs & Rims

First, I bought my truck used so I do not know if it has ABS. It is a 2wd 07 screw. I want to jump to 18's and put a tire on them that stand out from the fender a bit. I am adding a 2'' leveling kit to it. My question is what size tire should I go with, what size rim & brand, and what brand of tire? I am also not looking to go to low profile with the tire. Rims can be all Chrome or a mix of Chrome and Black. Any help would be great. I did do some reading on rims but couldn't find anything that answered my question. I currently have 17's and I think they need to go.

I also do NOT want to re-calibrate my speedo or have to do any mods to get the wheels to fit.

I'd suggest a 18x9 inch wheel with 5 to 6 inches of backspacing and a 285/65-18 (33x11.50) or a 33x12.50-18 tire.

Sorry, the distributor dropped off the wrong size tires today. We'll try again @ 9Am this morning.

An 18x9 will get the look that you are looking for and without all the modding. If you go with a 33 1250 18. I suggest the terra grapplers. Very good all terrain tire. The rims offset that you will need is probably a -12 if you want the outside the fender look. The moto metals look really good and have the mixture of the off road look and the stylish clean look.

Which ever way you go, let me know and i can do you a deal on a rim tire combo.

You will not have any issues when going to a larger rim with your abs system at all.

Right now I am doing 10% off your order of Ultra rims. Have you looked into Ultra at all?

Not sure what kind of rims you are looking for but alot of people really like the Titans
