Well do you have 18" wheels? If not, they are going to cost you a pretty penny, and aren't super easy to come by.

My advice would be to skip them. 18" wheels look funky IMO. I have no experience with them off road, so I can't personally attest to that.

skip em. thats an oddball size. remember: bigger sidewall = better offroad capability.

I've seen a 94 pickup with 17" stock alloys wrapped in street rubber.
I have to say, it looks pretty sweet.
The truck is bone stock, I don't know how it'd look lifted with skinny rubber.
