I finally decided, well, didn't have much of a choice, on what tires to get with my new wheels. I ended up getting the Nitto Terra Grapplers at a pretty decent price and they fit my setup so I pulled the trigger.

I really wanted the ProComp Xtreme AT's since they just look tough as nails but I must say, the Terra Grapplers butched up the looks of the 1st gen nicely.

The wheels are Ultra Mako Type 243, 18x8.5, 6x5.5, 0 offset, 4 3/4 backspace.
The tires are Nitto Terra Grapplers 285/65/18 (33x11.5) 10 Ply E rated.
The "lift" is a 3/1.5 Toytec level kit.  (3" strut spacer up front, 1.5" AAL at rear)

The first thing I noticed with the Nitto's is it felt like I was driving on ice even though the road was dry. I would turn the steering wheel ever so slightly left to right and it felt as though the back end was going to slide out.  I guess that's to be expected with a 10-ply E rated tire.

The appearance of the tires is much better than I thought it would look. I wanted an aggressive looking tire and the Terra Grappler definitely has an aggressive look.

Comparison of stockers and customs

Not much of a difference in width and height but then again, the stockers dont have two tons of truck sitting on top of them.
