Want to buy my hubby new wheels and tires. UPDATE!
[/B]Hi, I am going to buy my hubby new wheels and tires for our anniversary, and need some help on what and where. We use our truck daily so we need something really functional but also that looks good. We want to go a little bigger and fatter than stock with a little more rugged tread, but like I said I still want it to be our everyday ride. Oh and of course reasonably prices would be a bonus LOL. Any advice would be great! Thanks
Oops forgot to mention our truck is an 06 4X4 Supercrew 5.4 V8
HEY EVERYONE!!!!!!! IT'S THE MOMENT OF TRUTH! CHECK IT OUT, THE NEW WHEELS AND TIRES ARE ON. THE HUBBY ABOUT PASSED OUT AND NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM THE FREAKING S**T!!!!! LOL LOL LOL I REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S HELP AND ADVICE. I FEEL PRETTY GOOD ABOUT MY CHOICES AND THE HUBBY SAYS THEY ARE PERFECT AND EXACTLY THE LOOK HE WAS WANTING. ALL I KNOW IS THAT AFTER HAVING TO LOAD THESE BAD BOYS INTO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK BY MYSELF SO THEY COULD PUT ON AND BE A TOTAL SURPRISE.... SANTA BETTER BE BRINGIN ME DIAMONDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What color truck ?? Know if he is a tried and true chrome kinda guy ? or hates chrome ? usually that one is either HATE or LOVE, ya know ? I am sure you could find out in a fairly "sneaky" way, as to not top him off.
Also, any idea as to what size rim ? A 20" rim might ride rougher, but some think it looks better. Once i know your truck, I am sure it would only take a few minutes to pull up some examples. Personally I like a 17-18" rim. Looks big, and nice, but not too big.
Anyways, if we know the color, and the year of your truck, we all can probably help ya out much better.
Oh, and welcome to the site ! and what a GREAT gift idea !!!

Black wheels tend to be the "new chrome" and its what i am running personally.
something like these tires will look real aggressive, but perform great both on and off road:

Here are some of their tires and info:

As for wheels, there are a ton. Here is a good selection of black rims:
These are the ones I am running:

also really like these:

I think a little silver and mostly black would go real well with a truck that is silver. His windows tinted ?
If thats a little too aggressive, let me know.
my truck is a "dark grey" but might give ya an idea:

I am not an expert but if you get a 2" or 2.5" leveling kit (not too expensive) it will look REALLY good with some black 18's and the BFG AT's in a 305/65R18. It is not a cheap wheel & tire combo, but would make it a totally different truck and since its a 2006 your probably going to keep it for a while right?

ok theres a new wheel i have not seen anybody run that would probly look sick on your husbands truck.

and for tires. i would recommend an All-terrain.
i have bfg at/ko there really good, but their not actually 12.5" wide which is my only complaint.
pro comp xtreme AT are nice i have heard (i believe they have a 40K warranty on them)
toyo's are nice tires as well.
stay away from nitto terra grapplers their crap
