It depends on whether you want your wheels to stick out a bit, or you wanna keep the factory offset. I have the Rockstars, and they are great, but that is me.

Seems more and more people including myself have the XD's so I'd say like Diesel_Nuts, unless you're looking for a offset wheel, go for the painted factory rims. Here's a pick of the 18's.

Lol, thanks man. I dig your truck more but I'm plenty happy with this one. Dealership has a huge problem with me putting a lift on mine, no probs for you?

I think your gonna have a problem getting a 13.50 on your stock rim width. I got a 12.50 on my stock rim and the rim guard on my tire made it a pain to get them to seat the bead right.

I ran 325/70/17 Toyos on stock wheels, no problem mounting or uneven wear...

Many guys are running 37/13.50 Toyo Mts on stock wheels with no issues...

The only problem youll have with a true 13-13.5 wide tire is a little rub on the control arms at full lock(with stock wheels), but other than that its not really an issue...

No problems for me. I have gotten in pretty good with the local dealership owner, and he wants to put my truck in there Monthly newsletter that they send out. Hopefully it will stay that way when something breaks!!

We shall see.
