Okay, I am convinced after seeing them on a fleetside they might look decent on a stepside (yours).
Of course any wheel is not complete without B.F.Goodrich All or Mud Terrains on 'em.
What color is your rig gonna be?

im not good enough to put 33" bfg's on that flareside pic but heres mine with them on it and ive got 33's.

also if you put on 33" bfg muds on that thing you are going to be very tempted to go bombing it down dirt roads and stuff. so you might want to consider something a little more offroad friendly. no matter how much you say your not going to, you will and thats when they will crack. do you know if they are cast or spun?

I understand that logic, but I live in town and it's not like a dirt road exists around the block to go trashing down. I honestly don’t even know where I could go off roading if I wanted too. My current daily driver car only gets about 4k put on a year. I’d like to use it as a daily driver at some point down the line. The fiancé and I have talked about moving out into the country, but if that happens I’ll end up getting a fullsize 250 and that will be the offroad/work type truck.

Last year this time I had an 03 F150 4x4 as a daily driver, vehicle to make the home depot runs. My fiancé borrowed it one day when the roads were bad and somehow managed to T-bone an Escort doing about 10 mph. It scratched the Escort but pushed the front bumper of the truck back enough to bust out a piece of the plastic grill. That’s NOT a truck. I sold it and bought a little box car that gets a billion mpg, and went out looking for a real truck. The stepside has limitations as far as making the home depot runs, but I live in town with a smaller garage and the short box fits nicely.
