I was gonna wait to shine her up and get her nice and clean, but I couldn't resist. I was originally torn when I found out that I couldn't fit 35s on the +18 offset wheels that I had, but this is MUCH more satisfying. Funny how tires and awesome wheels make such a huge difference.

The wheels are KMC XD Misfits 20x9

Tires are 35x12.50 General AT2

The truck is leveled with a pro comp 2.5" spacer and I have no pertinent rubbing. I thought there was zero rubbing, then I cut the wheel all the way to the right when I was reversing and found some. Not nearly enough for me to care or even cut the inner liner. These tires are quiet. I thought the ride was going to be terrible, but it's really not different at all. On a scale of 1-10, I'd rate the noise a 2, even on the freeway. I'll be throwing a 4" superlift on soon hopefully! Thanks for all the threads that detailed the 0 offset being perfect for this, so here's another!

Looks GREAT!! You can see the tread block size varies so that really helps keep them quiet. At least for a while.

Thanks for the compliments!

It's funny you mention the color. When I went to buy the truck back in september I was dead set on white. Then every white truck the dealer showed me was in the path of this sagebrush pearl. Thankfully the more I walked passed it the more I fell in love and months later I don't regret it at all. Funny how it worked out that way. The pearl looks beautiful after a nice bath and wax!

Very nice. Thanks for sharing the pics. Now I know what my truck would look like with black wheels. :)

Welcome! It's nice having a unique color, but it sure is hard picturing how things will look with no pictures of sagebrush green lol.
