Ok guys I've never bought tires before so I need mad help. I'm going with a 18x7.5 Konig Unknown. What are thoughts on tire brand and size. Nexen tires come with the wheels. Any thoughts on these? Also I hear all this talk about chamber wear........ how do I avoid this? I want to order rims this week but I'm over seas with no help and won't be home till next month and want the rims waiting on me................ANYONE HELP PLEASE!!!! I did'nt know ordering rims and tires was so stressful.

nexens are pretty crappy but better than nankang and hankook imo. not bad for a cheap wheel combo. they arent great they dont last that long but they work and are cheap and easy :)

Rodger....Thanks for protecting our freedom. I haven't come in contact with these wheels but here's a link where you can perhaps get some more info.

if you got the money go for a toyo, pirelli, or a falken.. I had good experience with all of them, running stretched falkens now.. Good luck

Nitto 555 hands down.
Agreed. Also the Neo Gens are good too.

TRD had 19" wheels for the xB for like a month then discontinued them, I think due to rubbing....just FYI.
Never heard of Nexen tires.
I have heard good things about the Nittos and Falkens.

Who you buying from? I went with 17" Unknowns from www.treadepot.com
They were great to deal with. Good luck.
