They're NFab Nerfs, had them do the color matching right at their shop. I'd recommend rock guard over powder coating them if you want the finish to last...

Thank you for the info and advice

I'm wanting to go with Fierce Attitude MT in a 35x12.50x17 because it's a good price (17s are much cheaper than 20s!). I've read good reviews on those tires. I"m looking at a V-Tec Raptor wheel in a 17x9. I'm not any good at reading the offset for wheels, so could you let me know if that's a good set-up? Also, I'm going with a Rough Country leveling kit.

As fastNUgly said they're 35x12.50x20... Only time they've rubbed is at full lock in reverse backing down my drive way on the fender liner. Otherwise there's plenty of room all around! Don't second guess, you'll love them!

This rub is something I get too....and only in reverse as it grabs that fender liner right behind the fog light. Just and FYI, this will do nothing to the tires.
Ive learned to live with it..lol

As long as its a 0 offset or 5" backspace, you will be ok
The more negative you go the more height or trimming (if you don't want to add height) you'll require

Ok, thanks for the info. I'm trying to find the specs on those wheels to see if they'll be fine. 17" would fit over the caliper fine, wouldn't it?

I'm curious as to how much mpg was lost as well. That's something that may be a deal breaker for me considering I have to drive a lot for school. Min of 60 miles per day.. All that gas is going to add up!

A level won't yield you a lost in MPG per say, rather the 35"
And you'll lose 1-2.5 MPG depending on terrain of where you live, gears and how you drive

Also a tuner will reverse some of that too if you can keep your foot out of it.

I know I lost some MPG's but am honestly not to concerned about it.. As fastNUgly said I'm guessing its somewhere around 1-2.5 mpg. It's not the level that makes the difference, it's the weight and rolling resistance of the heavier 35's that do it. I'll do a mileage check on my next trip home from work next week
