What rim/ tire combo
I am currently running 255/70/R15 on my 55 and have decided that I would like to update it to 18's what tire size does everyone usually go with ? I would like some that are comparable in height to the ones which I have.

Re: What rim/ tire combo
As rough riding as the 245 17 tires are on my Cadillac DTS I can't see anyone wanting 18's on a TF truck they really intend to drive any distance.
The other reason I don't care for the big rims is that the tire stores in this area cater to the populace that believes that the more gaudy something is the better it is and the wheels they handle are far too garish for my taste no matter what the size. You might have a pick of better looking wheels there though. If you have 5 lug 18x8 American torque thrust II is a clean wheel or the similar Coys.
