Tomorrow I get my leveling struts installed. So i'm about ready to make my wheel & tire order. To review, I want the Pro Comp 7089s in 18x9, I've been verified they will fit ( 6x135mm lug, 4.75 backspacing ) I really like the look it has, the 6 spoke style, and flat black look, it will go perfect with my trucks make over. I'm still open to opinions though, does anyone have any other suggestions? I want black wheels.

Now as for tires, I need to get this figured out, i'm confused about these sizes, 33x12.5x18, and 285x65x18, wouldn't they both be the same, how are 33x12.5 a different size than the other tire size widths, I never really understood that.

And for tires, i'm looking at the 285/65/18 BFG A/T KOs, will that size be fine? I want the best possible economy so thats why I chose 285, and I really like the reviews, looks, and longitivity of the KOs, but if theres anything out there thats just as good for the same $1,000 price, please let me know!

So this set-up will be on for awhile, I expect to get 60k+ miles out of these tires. Just looking for some of the advice requested, I hate spending money but if it lasts and looks good it'll be worth it

 

I think they look great! black does look good

I can't really help with the tire sizes, as I'm kind of learning off of this site. I'm used to the sizes written down like 285/70-17, not 33, 34, or 35.

Wandell helped in my post, and said a 285/70-17 was similar to a 33"

 

The 285/65/18 is an 11.5" wide tire. The 305/65/18 is 12.5" wide.

 

The 305 is a 12" wide tire with a 33.7" diameter

 

You would be very happy with the AT KO's, I estimate that I've put on about 75,000 kms or more on mine and they still have a bit of tread left, I'll run them on my stockers for a couple more winters. I'm looking at the ATZ's right now, more aggressive tread and more siping, so I'm assuming that they will be as good or better in winter that the KO's. Also, it looks like the ATZ's in a 285 are the same weight as my KO's on a 265, so I may go with the ATZ's in a 285. I'd get KO's again, and I'd recommend them to anyone, but I'm just looking for something different.

 

Check out the new Mickey Thompson Sidebiters. I probably would have gotten them if they offered them in bigger sizes and in chrome (I'm not a fan of black rims). I'm not sure about the price but I think they look badass.
