18s. 35 nittos. That pic was taken on Daytona beach a few years ago. Truck has Nitto trail grapplers now

i am thinking about getting the 17x9 rockstars with 265/70/17 and may go up to a 315/70/17 once the 265 are done are you running any wheel spacers are anything? and when you turn to full lock do they scrub?

Mine are 18x9 can't remember b/s. No rubbing at steering lock but I have a 6in fabtec lift. My torsion bars are not turned up either tho. My control arms sit level, not all maxed out like some people do to achieve more lift or to make it squat in the rear. Ride quality is still very good. IMHO, I think going much smaller on the rock stars make them look funny. The spokes seem all bunched together.

i am going to level mine. mine is a 2500 suburban going to do a 3" level up front and 2" in back but no lift i seen a guy on youtube do the 3" level and made his truck sit level and a sad he did not have to turn the bars at all he sad they were they were at stock just with 3" keys so thats the way im going i think
 
Level keys do the same thing as cranking up the bolts FYI... It still causes the control arms to angle down which raises the truck. You will have no "droop" when you go over bumps and the ball joints don't like it. Just keep in mind there will be a trade off of ride quality, even if you don't physically "crank the bolts" its essentially doing the same thing.
