LOL- well sponsors or not it is what it is.. Tire rack is only 8 bucks cheaper so there is really no deal to be had with them... esp. when you pay for shipping you might as well go local being I can get the same tire for 210.00 at discount.. 984 installed and everything..

However on that note.. if you know what you want from them then you can hit up their ebay store which they do offer free shipping through e-bay.. Love how that works lol.

Only thing I'm worried about is putting 10" wide tire/rim on with -26 offset (4.5 backspacing) and wondering if it will clear right or not because of offsets.. if some say they can fit 33" i would assume 32" might be ok.. that's all im really worried about.

I have yet to see anyone with these aftermarket rims with 32" tires with just torsions cranked.. seems everyone with the rims went with 33" with body lift..

I went with one of the most aggressive -26 offsets i could find for my truck and with 32" tires the part im most concerned with is rubbing during turning due to offset difference size esp when off roading.

But now that i have them I'm going to see how they go and if they do rub too much other than at full lock then I'll put a body lift if i have too.. but from what it looks like right now i think they will clear.. have not tested yet.. just got the engine back fired up after timing chain and kegger mod/plennum repair.

32 X 11.5X15 on Soft 8's -25 offset 10x15 rim. (4.5 backspacing)

Side view.. very aggressive..

You can tell the differnce passenger side has new wheels.. vs P235's on the driver side.. it lifted the truck up about 2.5"

Update- WIll have to get some pics when i have more time.. i did a rough test today and my tires do rub.. due to tire size and the offset.

Clearance on Front bumper cover-

Passenger side clears barley touching it but the bumper covers seems a touch more forward.. will see if i can get it more forward*

Driver side rubs and pushes in about 1mm a most.. should be able to get enough out of it to clear it.

Clearance on fender/inner tire well- both sides rubs up against the factory mud flap (Or excuse for one) - removed and will barley rub up against it and i figure under full 'bounce' it probably will have a moment of rub..

nothing serious though that i can for see.. We'll see. is it enough to put a body lift on for? I dont think so.. i think this is doable! .
