secondly do those rims have a different offset to them? from what i have seen they seem to stick out farther than the stock onces... like crazys..

lastly... you will LOVE The M/T's they rock

i will be painting it the original red above the body line and a silver below

You got a good deal on the stuff. Might I ask why you are sticking with the factory red? Is it because of color matching the bay and jambs etc?

the wheels are 15x8 and the stockers are 15x6 so there will be a difference. when i had the 32x11.5 bfg's on the truck the fronts were just outside the wheel well. ill get a pic to show how the 33x10.5 look

no its not, im totally happy with the way it looks.

im either thinking swaping in a newer rear or wheel spacers on the rear since the rear wheels do sit in further

going to see how she does going to the cabin in the mountains this weekend(5 hours one way). see what for highway mpg it will get with the 33's. maybe ill have some cool pics too
