I will be the lone dissenter. For 16" wheels I think white letter out look better. I think it makes the large sidewalls look less like big donuts.

For lower profile tires, definitely white letters in.

i agree, gives it more of a beefy truck look without the beef, haha. whites in look more sporty but depending on the tire sometimes look more like donuts

It depends on the tire size.16" tires look a little beefier/sporty with the white letters out.I vote leave em out.

Out...

I've always had the white letter outlines and keep 'em out. only time they get really dirty is if you, or someone driving your truck doesn't know how to parallel park.

If your sticking with stock sizing i say in. If your going big mudder I say out. Some vechles look good in and some out. IMO in is best on these stock or lower profile.
