White Walls?

  1. Do it. Whites would match and complete the look

    well, if you do, id suggest a wide white. the 3/4" whites just look like walmart tires to me. lol. mine had them, and it just looked dumb.

    you could get some old school brand tires (BFGs, Goodyear, ect) and have them white letters out. but i prefer a blackwall in a 65/70 series on the stock 14s.

    Do it! Makes sure you do 3" white walls though.

    i say go whitewall. and if you're really cheap (like myself :D ) there is a couple vids on youtube on turning the small whitewall tires into wide whites using a grinder. search homemade white walls on youtube.

    Actually, white walls on your truck would look pretty sick.
