IMO leave them wide I think it fits the truck better.

I think you should narrow them. They stick to pretty far out of the wheel wells.

Here's a Masher 2k on a slightly narrowed rim

I've got a set of swamp dawgs coming and I'll probably narrow the rims but I"m waiting to get them before I cut the rims. If you cut the rim cut the inside bead off first and try it. It won't make you lose any overall width but will change how the tires sit on the rim.
