Okay, so I've done a lot of looking. As it turns out you can find oodles of photos of rims, tires, lifts, and any combination of them. The problem is they're all directly from the side of the truck, or at an angle. Nobody really takes any head-on shots, and that's what I'm looking for.
Here's my dilemma. I'm looking to swap the rims/tires on my truck. I found a set that I like (Mickey Thompson Classic III (polished, not black)). The issue I have is that the offset is -12, and my stock rim is +19. That moves the tires out 1.25" from the centerline of the truck. While this is helpful in clearing a larger tire from the suspension, I don't really need that much extra offset. A zero offset would probably be sufficient. I don't mind the extra offset, if it looks good, which is what leads me to this thread.
Of all the post, and threads about rims/tires, I'm surprised we don't have this yet.
I'm looking for shots of how far your rims/tires stick out. How wide of a stance did your set-up give you? I'm not too concerned with the actual physical measurement of width. I want to know how it looks. So post some photos of your truck from straight on, or directly to the rear, so we can see how wide/narrow it looks. I'd like to make an informed decision when buying the next set, and this will probably help others too if we don't limit it to one brand or style. Although I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone has a shot of MT Classic III's wrapped in a 11.5 - 12.5 wide tire.
PS, don't forget to tell us what rims/tires you have in the picture (specs would be best, but at least tell us what they are so we can try to figure it out). We won't be able to tell, since a true head-on shot won't show anything but truck and treads.
I'll start. My '12 on MB Chaos rims measuring 18x9 +18 offset. The tires were 285/70/18 Safari TSR.
Help me out here guys, and pitch in. I'm mostly interested in the full shot, but the close one like I have is helpful too. Lets see them.
