The tires look good with the 17s. I'm a fan of more tire less wheel. I don't want to have to worry about getting curb rash on my lifted truck. Lol
Hahaha definitely agree with you there. I have to parallel park for my job almost daily and it's really nice to be able to bump the curb and not worry about it

Good to hear. I've been debating spacers or not. I might go the same route as you in the rear as well, just to get that extra lift back there. I'm replacing my wheel bearings in a few weeks, and my ball joints look decent, so hopefully all that **** will last a while after I get some bigger tires.

All the spacer hate is pretty unfounded imo. Yeah you're gonna have to do bearings more often than without, but you're gonna have to do that with bigger offset wheels too so whatever. I'd rather have the better looking stock rims than have to change the look.

I hear ya. I like my stock rims. I wanted to get aftermarket, but after looking around for a month or so with a budget of $500, I just couldn't find anything I REALLY liked. I think spacers may be the way I'll go once I get my suspension crap figured out. I got a pretty hard vibration while braking up front, and I'm pretty sure it's the bearings. Once I get those fixed, and as long as my issues go away, I'll be leveling it and getting some spacers.

Surpreme suspension wheel spacer.

Nice! I was thinking about getting some after I level. How long have you had them? Do they have specific torque instructions, as some spacers do?

Yeah I had them in for a couple months when I asked them about the torque specs they said it was the same as stock for the truck. It seems very durable
