Looks good man!
I was thinking of picking up a set of those so I don't trash my stock rims when I off road.

looks great. you have a 2" leveling kit? thats the tire size I was going to as well but it looks like a size bigger would still have room. do they rub anywhere?

I have the RC 2.5". I didn't have any rub with the stock chrome wheels and these tires. The black wheels rub a little bit at full lock for some reason.

Looks good, now somebody needs night runner headlights and a black grill.

And jkeaton, I don't rub with those size tires on stock (25.4mm) offset.

I am def wanting the night runner headlights and I can't find a black grille for a decent price. Just haven't decided if I would like the Ebay black grill or not.


Its weird, these are the same width as the stock wheels. The different offset makes them stick out further yet they manage to just barely touch the frame on full lock to the left. Only the driver side, passenger side never touches.

Go with a Black Stock Grille! Get the gutter guard mod done to it. and youll love it.
The black "Bently" style one on ebay looks decent, But A few of use have had the paint flake off. Mine took 6 Months to, But it eventually did. (and it flaked where there was no mark or hit from rock.)
