Anybody running 18 X 8.5" wheels on a Gen II or Gen III Dak? If so what size tire are you using? My truck is a '95 that has been lowered 2/3"

I'm sporting 18x8.5 Mille Miglias on my Gen III, and I went with 255/55/18 Pirelli Scorpion Zero's - which have the same dimensions (height/width) as my stock 255/65/16's. I'm also gonna do a 2/3 drop either tomorrow or Tuesday, which I think'll give my Dak just the right stance... not slammed, but no HUGE gaps between the tires and the fenders.

Broeheem, how do those Scorpion Zero's sound on the highway? Do they make a lot of noise or are they not too bad? Also, how do you like the Miglias? I was looking at the same ones for my Dak.

I don't notice any more noise that before, but I do feel the road a little more. The rubber compound feels harder that the stock Goodyears, and they don't squeal with enthusiastic cornering (but they've got a great chirp right before I break 'em loose accelerating). I'll be able to assess the handling characteristics better when I lower the truck. What area are you from? I got the Pirellis mounted/balanced and taxed out the door for $660.00.
See your other post for my response to the Mille Miglia Mesas.
