Default New Wheels and Tires on the Dak....

Just threw a 3' lift suspension lift on the Dakota a few weekends ago. (Coil spacers in front, shackles in the back) Wheels are 20" XD addicts and the Tires are Cooper All-Terrains 275/50/R20's. Had to just barely cur the front bumper for clearance and it rubs VERY lightly when I fully turn to the right.

What do you think of them?

Might actually be a good idea. What kind of paint would stick well to that surface?

Yeah not into ghetto rims, or even chrome rims on any vehicle that isn't black. She's a 2wd pavement pounder too.

I'm thinking of getting some wheel spacers to make it look a little more aggressive. You guys think I should go with 1" or 2" spacers?
Thanks

I use engine paint on my truck. Shoots really nice, really durable, and is inexpensive

Only thing I have to say about wheel spacers and bigger tires is expect to go thru wheel bearings ALOT. I've got 1/2" wheel spacers and have gone thru 4 hubs in the past year and a half because the wheel spacers but extra pressure on your bearings which cause them to fail alot faster.
