Default Got New Rims and Tires !

I finally got rims and tires off of my friend. He has two sets of rims, the Mickey Thompson's had the tires he was selling me (33"s) on them and other other set of rims which he was selling me had his 37"s on. Two of the 33"s had a bunch of holes in them from running over a board somebody stuck in a mud hole. After some tires plugs and slime one blew out on him going 80 mph so for him to sell those tires to me I had to buy two new tires because he didnt' want that to happen to me.

Anyways...

The rims are black they just have dirt on them, not rust.

That's some pretty wide meats. No rubbing issues?

The 2" leveling kit barely makes them work. The only rubbing I've noticed so far is when I have the wheel turned all the way and going in reverse that it rubs a little bit of plastic.

If they're already rubbing, even a little, on flat ground, wait until he gets into some off-camber stuff offroad that puts a tire all the way up into the wheel well.
