looks great. I like the Cooper st, they have a pretty tight tread so they last long but still look aggressive

Those are stock 17s. I got rid of the 20's. no backspacing, everything cleared nicely and I cranked torsion bars to give it just about 2 inches of lift in the front. I got a good deal on them because my buddy works at the shop but I think retail is somewhere around 1400-1500. Prices just went up on rubber something like 12% in the beginning of March.


I had ordered these tires in the 20's at first but when I saw them the tread depth was weak and it was gonna cost just as much. So down to the 17 I went and I really like the look of it ! Had it out in a field the first night ( it has rained so much here it was like a lake ) no problems going through whatever it wanted.

17 was a better choice. IMO 20's have no place on a truck. No offence to any of the guys who have 20's or larger...just my preference from a looks and performance aspect.

Truck definitely looks good though!

So the 8.5 width of the tire fit easy on the stock 17 x 8 rim, because was lookin to do the same, but wasnt sure about it.

You put 35x12.5x17's on stock rims with no spacers and have no clearence problems or rubbing on the upper control arm?
