I've got Ultra's 20" Titan 6 wheel with BFG TA/KO 285/65/20 and my truck rides as smooth as a baby's bottom.
Granted I do alot of city driving, but I also make a 4 hour trip that's 90% highway to the lake house fairly often and it'll still runs smooth all the way up to 80mph. I usually don't go much faster than that, I like my insurance low
I think you're right hillbilly, it's hit or miss. Are you sure it's the wheels, not the tires that are give you problems?
Blue, with almost 6" of BS they'll stick out just a tad more than the stockers.

I am at my shop and don't have the patch cord for my phone here to put pics on. Wandell would be the only 1 I know of that could tell you how much they would stick out over stock. I will try and get some good pics this evening and post them.

Have anyone with the nibble problem try having your wheels/tires Road Force Balanced (Measurement)? It seems to help some with this issue.
Road Force Measurement is new to the automotive service industry. This new measurement identifies tire and wheel uniformity, which has been measured for years in assembly plants and manufacturing facilities. Road Force can be used to solve uniformity related tire and wheel vibrations. Tire/wheel assembly uniformity can only be measured under load.
Hope this helps,

Well I got my stock wheels put on today and ran her all the way up to 90. Smooth as a babys hiney. Problem solved for me. Either the truck don't like aftermarket wheels or specifically Ultra's, or they sent me 2 different sets of chinese crapola. Anyway I don't have a pocketbook thick enough to try any more options unless my rich uncle gets outta the poor house and I decide to waste some more money on wheels. She's runnin like a 20+ grand machine supposed to ride again.
