Default Wheels

So I am going down to Elite Roads in South FL to go look at some wheel. I know what I want but they dont carry them in stock, So I might order them if I dont find anything I like in the store. I am going to be getting 17x9 or 18x9 on a 285/70 Kumho M/T tires

Wish me luck

Default khumo MT

i heard good thing about streetability and offroad...but at 10 000km (dont know in MPH) they are wear out.

gonna give you info about the cepek crusher they are loud 0-40kmh vibrate under 5kmh and 100kmh to 200kmh no vibration at all and not that noisy we will see about the wear. didnt try it offroad yet.

think twice about cheap khumo

my favorite tire with experience (friends that had them)

Mickey Thopson MTZ good streetability
Mickey thompson BAJA CLAW quiet
Procomp Xtreme MT good all around
Interco super swapmper truxxus radial (STAY AWAY FROM BIAS!)noisy but the best off road radial.
Toyo MT streetability

procomp X terrain is the same as baja claw but wear twice as fast. dont last long!

So I got 17x9 Black XD Addicts with Nitto A/T 285/70/17 My old tires where 285/75/16. Now They had +18 or -12 off set. +18 would rub to much on the frame so I got -12 offset and I had to do some trimming to get them not to rub. There still rubbing so I will have to do some minor trimming in the morning. Now I got the Nitto A/T ecuase they didnt have Pro Comp, BFG, Nitto, or Kumho M/T tires in stock they had a set of 295/70/17 Nitto but that wouldnt even be close to fitting with the amount of run I am getting now. The size of the tire is a 32.7''

So if you have a leveling kit you can run 285/70 or 285/75 with little rub as long at the offset is 0. If you go with a negative offset you will need to stay at the 31.9'' tires because anything bigger will requite alot of trimming lol.

I am hoping by the time I need new tires there will be a lift kit for the truck so I can run 33'' M/T with no rubbing

I will take pictures in the am

Very nice! I've always liked the XD Addict wheels, and the NTG's are a great tire. I'm probably getting the NTG's for my winter setup.

Good Choice!

Great looking wheels and tires. Did you put some kind of line-x or bedliner on the bottom edge of your headlights? I was looking at Raiders before I got my Dakota and i recall the bottom of the headlights were silver. Looks great.
