Who's running an 18" rim? Pics please! (1 Viewer)

I have an ongoing saga concerning a set of Rugged Trail 275/65 R18 tires I just can't seem to either sell, or bring myself to trade for. I nabbed them for my 40 project and they are in too good of shape, and were free. Problem is 18' rims are either blingy/expensive or plain stupid looking. Anybody have respectable looking 18s on their rig? Will I encounter any issues that make an 18" rim undesirable with a 2.5 OME lift?

I have 18's on my 80 series and they look really nice. because you are making the sidewall a little bit shorter by going to a bigger rim you get a lot less body roll with the same height tires. I might be in the market for new rubber... email- Burke-101@hotmail.com

Yeah I figured my sole option is those same Mojaves.....$200 each or so?

seriously, what is the benefit of 18" rims?? To me they look strange...

maybe i lived in Atlanta too long....

They look great but will get destroyed if you do any wheeling with less than a 35" dia. tire.

I can't find any tires in an 18" rim that will give 35".

My maths suggest that would need an 8.5" tire profile, 275/65 is only 7". Couldn't find 215 full profile in an 18" and anything over 215 seems to come in a reduced profile regardless of rim size.

Not 18s, but thought this may help a little. Bolted the 17x9 Brute B201s and 35 MTZs off my 4Runner for a look once.

17"s not 18"s

I just bought 17" American Racing Mojaves in the Black Teflon. The other 40 is a guy on mud who works for Aqualu. His are also 17" Mojaves.
