Thanks for your input. Another member posted this: Tire size calculator in another thread and I found it to be pretty useful (that is if it's accurate).
Just remember that the XD Addicts look like crap close up. They only pass the 10 ft test. My qualifications to verify that statement include owning them and using them daily. But for the money, you can't expect much. Really (actually) nice wheels cost a lot more than a few hundred bucks. I might be switching to Titan wheels temporarily because my bolt pattern's getting changed to 6x5.5 (from 6x4.5) with the swap. Then I'll have basically unlimited wheel options. But as far as 6x4.5 on a budget goes, they Addicts look good. But I think the other ones might be a better choice (paint/powder-coat/plasti-dip them black). Those fake little plastic bolts break really easily too. Then it really starts looking like crap. Ask me how I know...

I see you have a lift already, what size do you plan on going with?
I am running a 2.5" front and 2" rear lift. I have 285/75-16 BFG AT on stock NISMO wheels. The tires fit fine inside and out. I had to trim a 1.5"X1.5" piece from the front mud guard, but with the Bushwacker flares, I had to remove the front mud guards.
With spacers the tire moves out, but swings into the mud guard area worse that without. A Titan swap will do the same.
When I get new tires, 285/70-17, I'm going to get the black 17" XD Addicts with +18mm offset. With the additional ~0.5" of offset, I may get slight rubbing on the flare. I will let the tire mark the interference area and trim as needed.

Thanks for your honest opinion and experience with the Addicts. I seen the machined ones on a lifted Titan and they looked tits as I drove by; I have yet to see them up close though.

Sweet, thanks for the info. Don't forget to post pics after you do the swap.
Right after the lift and BFG ATs were installed.
I had clearance except when turning just right and compressing the suspension like entering the driveway.
Clearance
Tire rub
Mud guard trimmed

You should get these!!! They're GFX OR9's. I ran these with 275/65r18 terra grapplers until i picked up some nismo rims. my lift is 4" spindles in front and 2"blocks in back, no clearance issues. I don't think you'll have any issues with the 3" lift but could be wrong. You might have to trim or take of the front valance and take the mud guards off but thats about it.

Those look cool. You got any pics with them on your truck?
