got a killer deal from my friend...all 4 33" baja claw radial tires mounted and balanced on mickey thompson classic wheels for $500. all i had to do was bolt them on. they were only in use for a few weeks, then his truck was hit and he took them off. they have been sitting outside for a year, thats why they are so dirty. i will polish them up soon enough.

anyway, here's 'before' pictures

here's my old tires....as you can see, i really couldn't wait much longer before i got new ones. and yes, i am aware that my front alignment is horrible. i am putting in a 3" lift and will have it aligned after that.

here is the finished product. looks great in my opinion. however, these bitches stick out ALOT. i guess fender flares will be my next mod. they also rub on the body at full lock. they rub on the front and the back of the fender well, on the outside. hopefully a 3" lift will cure that.

and for anyone wondering, these are 33x12.50R15's on 15x8 wheels. i dont know the backspacing, but it looks alot different than stock

also, does it look like my truck was already lifted in the back, or are these blocks stock??!

good lookin tires.

and i like the pic of front with the new tires and the back with the old.

 

that backspacing looks like it could be 3" or 2 1/2" you could measure them if you are really interested...

 

looks like stock blocks.. but it might have had a body lift.. looks kinda like the tailpipe is falling outta nowhere.

 

When i was looking at the first few pics in the first post i was like "Those aren't 33's , my tires are bigger than those!" ... Then I scrolled down LOL.

But yeah, nice wheels and hell of a deal!!! Congrats man!

 

so for the 3" lift kit i got with 1.5" blocks, do i add the blocks on top of the originals?
