Default i need your thoughts.....

ok i recently thought i got a good deal on a rim/tire combo, turns out it wasnt that great so i cancelled the order. now im in a dilemma, im def. going 35s in a m/t since they dont make the terra grappler in the size id like. my question is should i just keep my cragar soft 8 blacks? i was gonna get a rim like the MT sidebiter in 17x9 with like 5 offset or something. the cragars i have on have a 4.5 offset and dont look too bad, but the paint is flaking in some areas. should i save the money and keep the cragars or get the new rims.... if i didnt get the rims id prolly get a body lift and 5% tint.

i would let the a/t wear out first, but thats me, m/t's look good, but wear super fast, i would get tints, nerf bars or side steps, bull bar, and tonneau cover, i like what you have now, and i would spend the money on something you dont have

those are nice rims... I like the classic look for sure. Go with the M/T's cause they look way better than A/T (you can sell the A/T locally if they still have tread left). I agree with gettin the tint, bumpers powdercoated, and a body lift for about the same cost as a nice set of new wheels.
