^^^ Lol, no those are 20"s wheels with 275/60/20 Michelin tires on them. As far as keeping clean, they are good from afar, but far from good. I also want a set of 17"s wheels, just undecided as to which ones would look good on white. I don't want black wheels.

Nothing like meeting a Brazilian chick head on and being forced off the road to avoid the collision. I caught up to her and got her stopped and called 911. She was arrested and my truck is all screwed up. My right wheel now points out a little.

Thanks.

It sure is a nice smooth ride over bumps vs the stock 20's. I'm installing the ici steps monday.

I've been bouncing between 17's and 20's, I think you may have just swayed me! Looks bad@$$!!
17s are nice. If you have even a 1% chance of a lift kit one day, make sure they are at least 4.5" backspacing, otherwise you'll have issues.

IMO

Oh, there's always a 1% (who am I kidding, its way higher than that) chance!
On 17s -12 offset is 4.5 inch of backspacing. -24 might be too much and could rub on the fender

Yeah, those -12's are just right for my taste. I really, really dig that combo!

Did my bils/mevotechs today (finally). 2.8" front, nothing on the rear (yet) but 1" is prolly coming.

Before

After

6f7758f20688f79cfa2832944e0d4312.jpg

Measured 36-3/4" to the wheel well on both sides before, right at 39-3/4" now. Only problem is now the wheel wells on the front measure higher than the back! At some angles it looks nose high, at others it doesn't, but the tape measure doesn't lie. So since I happen to have some 1" rear spacers handy, those are going in shortly.

I have not yet modified the speedometer, but I was getting about 18 mpg before. Now I'm getting an unadjusted 16.4 mpg with similar driving patterns.

I do notice a slight decrease in performance, but still able to easily pull a 23 foot boat.

The generals produce a faint hum on the highway with the windows down, but virtually no hum with the windows up.

High speed curves give me a significant amount of drift, but my camber needs to be adjusted a little after going to 2.8 inches of lift.

Tire pressure is at 54 psi. Any suggestions?

Dang that looks awesome. Exactly how I want mine to look except in Granite
