Default Got new wheels, need some advice

I just got my new tires and wheels!!! What do you guys think? Now I'm considering leveling out the front end. Any opinions on the Daystar coil spring spacers? Are they easy to put on?

You better send those tires and wheels to me, so I can properly dispose of them, for you.

Looks sweet, man. What kind of tires are those? (I see they're Coopers, but what model?)

They are 305/50R20 Cooper Zeon LTZ's. As far as I know you can only get them at America's Tire Company. They're supposed to compete in the Nitto Terra Grappler market.

Those are awesome.


I'm looking at getting the MB Shaker's onmy 8-lug MegaCab, with 285/65/20 35" BF Goodrich TA KO's.

The MB Shakers look very similar to the Ultra Mako's,The MB Shaker'sJust have some styling on the lip and outside edge of the spokes..

i like the tires you have on the new wheels.....there lowprofile-ish but they still have an off road tread on them...

They would look much better with a lift.

Those are nice tires and rims, just wanted to ask if you notice a diffrence in the ride? is it rougher ride. I put 275/55/20 on mine but my truck rides a bit rougher, Want to consider these tires in the future but im wondering about the 50 series vs the 55 or 65 series.

I can't say that I notice any difference. The ride is not harsher and it's not louder. It almot feels like it did with the stock set-up.
