tx-skydiver, I just put new wheels on a little over a week ago. 9" wide up front with 255/45's, and 10" wide in back with 295/45's. I love it...here's my thread.

Looks great. Sweet ride.

I've placed my order.

9" Magnum 500's with 255/45/18 in front
10" Magnum 500's with 185/40/18 in rear

Also yanked the stickers off and have a tuner and CAI coming too.

Its gonna be like a new car.

Not sure what brand tire you've bought, but should look similar.
I have 18x9 front w/255/45/18 & 18x10 rear w/285/40/18.
Wheel Replica Magnum 500's & Nitto 555's.

I've since replaced the plain black center caps with Tri-Bar Pony caps.

I've seen a few people running 295/45/18 tires on the rear & the sidewall is taller, but with the Nitto's the specs were different than the 255's & I didn't want to mix & match different specs of tires.

Big improvement in cornering since replacing the stockers. I previously had the 18" polished bullets & BFG tires.

That is the exact look I am going for...except in white/black. Very very nice.
