Advice On Wheels And Tires
I've had these BF 33x10.5 MT's for about a year now. I like them alot but I think a wider tire would look more aggressive and cooler. Here's how they look on my stock rims...
My thought was, sell those wheels and tires and go with BF 33x12.5 MT's on Mickey Thompson Classic II's. I was checking out the wheels on Thompson's website and it sounds like the they require alot of work to keep them looking nice, and they suggest not using them in the winter months (http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/tech.php?bulletin=t6)? So whats your oppinion? Should I just stick with what I have? What do you think about the Classic II's?

I like your setup now, if anything paint the wheels black. If you really do want to change wheels, go to a 16" and get the 285/75/16 (33x11.5). I think the 33x12.50's are a bit too much.

Don't be typical and leave your wheels the way they are;there are so many Jeeps doing the black wheel trend and IMO it makes your truck look cheap unless they are already nice wheels that came powdercoated.

man somethnig about your trucks is making me crazy..BUT I dont know what it is. I say just switch wheels for now. Run the 10.5s till they are no more and then to 12.5s if you want. But for now..just buy some new wheels with a differant backspacing to pull those wheels out a little more.

You could go with a wider wheel and stick with the 33x10.50"s give it that old school rollerskate look
You might run into rubbing issues once you start making your tires stick out farther.

I actualy love how the truck looks. I think the only thing ide do is throw some 34X105.s on it I think it needs a slightly larger rubber under it, not wider. 34X10.5 LTB would look GODLY on that truck

I had 33x10.50's on the stock wheels for a while but then i decided to go some black steelies that were 15x8's. The wider wheel seems to fit the tire much better and actually makes it look somewhat wider.

I have a set pf Classic Locks on my truck and I can attest that they do require attention from time to time. I'd say that about once a month they need polishing. As a matter of fact, mine need it right now.
However, they look so great that I don't even mind...

Thanks for all the thoughts, I guess I'll keep it how it is for now. If I ever decided to go with some 16" Toyota wheels what would look the best?
