Finally Got The New Wheels and Tires!!!

[carcandy]

After camping out at the Fed-Ex office yesterday my wheels finally came in. Rushed over to the tire shop to get these bad boys on. To date the specs are:

2.5/1" level, 1.25 RC Body Lift, KMC XD Enduro Wheels (17x9 5" Backspace), General Grabber 35"x12.5/17. I'm really diggin the stance it has. I think I'm gonna have to get a set of those Addictive Dessert bumpers in the future to complete the package.

I'm also thinking about getting the fake bead lock ring painted/ coated red. Anyway let me know what you guys think...

Great stance! Do you think they would have rubbed without the body lift?

 

[BAILEY1]

Very nice! I agree with Moof. Love the stance!!

Wow your truck looks almost identical to min but mine has a 3in
body lift and different tires but everything else the same

Thanks guys, I searched this forum for months trying to decide on the perfect combo for me. I'm very happy with it. I'm not sure if they would have rubbed or not, I did everything before the tires were on. But I will say I think the BL was needed otherwise it would look goofy.

Thanks guys, I went to my local truck shop to see how much they would charge to paint the bead lock ring red, $100 per wheel! I'm gonna try to find some red plasti dip and do it myself. Taping each bolt off is going to really suck though.

Just spray the whole ring, take a toothpick and peel off from the bolts.

Good to know, thanks man. Any good sources for the dip. Lowes and Home Depot only had black and white.

I love that wheel/tire combo. I was actually looking into the same tires for my truck when my Nittos wear out.

They are a little nosier than the Nittos but not too bad. Probably not enough to make that much of a difference. My dad's got 305/70 Nittos on his 2500. He'll probably switch over to these when they wear out. They are E rated also for you 2500 guys.

Does the ring come off?
