Hey all, haven't posted here in a while. Nothing new with the truck lately since I've been busy with classes and work, and now finals (grr.. college). Anyways, I've been really scoping out these Panther 291 wheels and they're 18's. I was just wondering, with the suspension at the stock level (I know, she's floating up there) what size/sort of rubber would I have to wrap them up in to be content with clearance problems? I've seen plenty X's bagged with 18s, so I'm leaning towards the fact that I'll be safe? I just wanted some clarification and/or any tips or advice.

Anyone? :smoke:

i think 245/40/18 looks great with 18's. Thats what i have with a 2/3 drop and i don't rub or have any problems, so at stock height they will be fine.

Most excellent YellowXtreme. Thanks for the reassuring post!

As a follow up question, maybe you can help me out here Yellow, but do you know what the bolt pattern and the offset are on the X's? As well, as the width of the Panthers are 8.5. As they are a little wider, will that cause any problems?

Couldn't find "Buying wheels for Dummies"
Too many green cigarettes. :smoke:

Alright, well I found that all s10's from the beginning of time are 5 on 4.75 and converted that's 5x120.65.. so i'm guessing that wheels with 5x120 bolt pattern will fit?

an answer would be nice.
