Those look tits man! Hurry up and get them on your truck. Looks like they haven't been bored out to fit the mazda hub, and unless you want to have them unmounted, get the rims bored, then have them remounted, you will have to shave your hub tabs off.

Did you have a hard time finding decent 6 lug rims to go on your truck or are those the ones you wanted? I seem to be having an issue finding some nice aftermarket chrome rims for my truck with the 6 lug pattern.

aye i would go wit the 35 series cuz to mee the 40's looking like theres alot of tire still after u look at them everyday and i wished i got the 35' instead , to mee they just look cleaner and it would probably benefit u better wen u have the baggs on there

The smaller the series the shittier the ride. I'm running 40 series and love it. Perfect balance between clean and drivability.

I've had 215/35/18's on a car before (07 xB--box, but light) felt every single crack in the road (it was dropped 2" too), and pebbles as well. Switched to 215/40/17's and was much better--still not cushy, but didn't get a compressed spine from all the jarring.

I plan on 16-17" rims with tires to match stock diameter. Since I've only got 14's now.
