No need for a lift! The overall tire diameter is exactly the same as stock with the 265/50/20 tires. This wasnt the recommended tire size by the website but I did not want to recalibrate the speedo and I liked the stock ride height. The tires go right to the edge of the truck but do not stick out the side and I think look just perfect. No rubbing that I have noticed in the last week since I recieved them. They were a true bolt and go!

Hey Chicorob...Nice wheels. I'm also looking at MB Motoring 'Smooth' 18" and was worried about their +10 offset sticking out too far. MB Motoring Smooth Yours are +18 with 265's and you say they fit nicely. I'm thinking 285/60s, and if my math is right, they'd stick out about 1.5" further than yours. Judging from yours, do you think this would be acceptable? I really can't find any other wheels that I like, but have only found that tirerack.com and discount tire have wheels that fit our 05's. Did you find any other wheel sites that might have simple 18 inchers? Also, I'm still looking for accessory websites out there. Let the modding begin!
Input from anyone is welcome and will be greatly appreciated.
I think the offset that I have is right on the edge. My current setup lines up right at the edge of the fender. You may be able to get away with about a half inch more but anything beyond that would probably stick out beyond the fender. If you were going with offroad style tire, it might look kind of cool but a standard SUV tire would probably look a little funny.
I havent run across any other websites that sell tires that fit our 05's. I even order a set from an ebay vendor that didnt fit and had to be returned (tomz wheels were great about it). When I bought mine tire rack didnt have anything but discount tire had a few that I thought were nice.

I'm also thinking it may stick out a little too far. After looking around, I found these: Enkei RTS Offset is +22, so if I run 275/60/17's with these wheels, it should look pretty good. Man, there just aren't many options out there, but I think these would look SCHWEET! Thanks for your input.
One last note: Make sure that those wheels will clear your brake calipers. I bought a set of 16's that I thought wouldnt be a problem and had to return them because the front brake calipers on our trucks are huge. Even with my current wheels I only have about 3-4mm of clearance. Post some pics once you get them on!
