NICE!
not crazy about the wheel color(kinda liked the gray), but I like the size of tire/wheel combo! Tall/skinny mud's good for diggin!

Thanks to everyone for the comments, not going to multiquote this time but great comments from everyone!

NJJer, no camo for me. I like the black and white look. Not sure what to do just yet but I may do some more black accents on the truck.


Frenchy, like you said man paint them black! That is what I did. I used 320 grit auto paint prep sponge scratched the heck out of them, then I used paint prep spray with heavy cleaners (dangerous stuff use it outside trust me) then I primed them with clear paint adherance bonder (or something like that) then I painted them with black wheel paint, 2 coats of paint, let that dry and final coat of duplicolor truck bed liner spray. Turned out shiny and strong!

It looks awesome. And it's getting taller soon. Great job. Good tire size/wheel combo for sure.

Go look at the pictures again, these tires still have the manufacturers sticker on them. They have never been mounted and are brand new!

Got them from an eBay user Patriot Tire, they are in Arkansas. Tires were 75 each 25 shipping 400 total to the door. Got lucky!

Just wondering how your doing with that tire/wheel combo? Any rubbing up front? How's your power with that size tire?

There is a slight rub at full lock to the right when I bounce out of my driveway. Barely noticeable and I think I may still do the smallish 1 inch body lift to fix that. These tires measure out to a true 32 inch and they really have taken out some of the tire spinning fun I was having with my small stockers but its worth it. I know some 32's only measure out to 31.x inches but these things fill the fenders. If you put a 33 on this truck with no body lift you are going to get serious rubbing. I dont care what anyone has claimed even these 32's rub at lock.
