i personally like the look for the big wide wheels on a truck. i run 35x14.50r16.5 Super Swampers on my truck and love how wide they look. especially on the older trucks how big the fender wells are they take a pretty hefty wheel to fill it in.

I agree they do look good. I will also warn you they generally drive like a turd and are even sometimes scary when driven on uneven pavement. I ran 39.5 at 18.50 wide until I changed to 41 and 13.50 wide which are in my profile pic. Those 18.50 would try to change lanes on uneven pavement or especially had to fight it if braking on bad roads even with dual shock stabilization. Not trying to talk you out of that decision just trying to give you some info from my experience. Also I ran 18.50 wide on 12 wide rims. Happy hunting and good luck.

I've got 16x12 Classic 3's on my Burb. With 36x15.5's on them. I think they fit the rims well and it drives good too.
