Finally got new rims

JamesRam · Mar 31, 2014

So I finally got my Octanes, 17" with -5 offset, put my 305/65/R17 BF Goodrich all terrains on them, really like the look. Only issue I am having is the front tires rub on my flexible rubber mud flaps when I turn hard. I have seen people with chains on their mud flaps to hold them back but can't seem to find mud flap chains online? Is this something you can buy or would I have to rig something up?

That's a nice-mean look!

JamesRam · Mar 31, 2014

Thanks man!

Most likely would have to rig some chains up.

Yeah it's kind of looking that way, maybe I'll call Custom Truck tomorrow and see what they say

I had a 2008 before my current, and I have always loved the styling. With a couple mods like yours, they can look really big and bad ass.

What's the next mod?

JamesRam · Apr 4, 2014

I am contemplating on whether or not I want to add a set of steps to it, if I do I think that'll be next. A step would be nice as it is pretty much a jump for the misses to get in the truck! I am just happy I have the stance I have always wanted on a truck(leveled with a minor offset rim) and also happy to finally have the black/grey look completed lol

DavidRam · Apr 4, 2014

I think the step could look cool, but if not the misses will get used to it!

JamesRam · Apr 4, 2014

haha yeah well she's been jumping it for a year now so she'll be alright if I don't put any on

If not steps then maybe a modest fender flare

DavidRam · Apr 4, 2014

I was just about to say fender flare. That is what I would do next, FOR SURE!

JamesRam · Apr 4, 2014

My only concern with a fender flare is if they fit inside the wheel well at all, my tires may rub where they are rubbing my mud flaps now, they are just barely rubbing on the flaps when I cut it hard to angle park

DavidRam · Apr 4, 2014

This style would look good...

JamesRam · Apr 4, 2014

Yes, exactly the style I was thinking lol

Finally got new rims
