Default New Wheels and Tires are on!!

Finally, after a couple weeks of them sitting in the garage I was able to get them mounted up today! They look awesome!!! But I was definitely not expecting the additional road noise that comes from having a more aggressive tire. Something I'll have to get used to.

18x9 Chrome Moto Metal 951s
35x12.50x18 Pro Comp Xtreme All Terrains

Anyways, the truck goes in tomorrow to get the new shocks installed and the new rack and pinion. I'll probably have them rebalance the wheels and tires just to be safe.

Enjoy!

Hopefully I can get some new pictures this week/weekend.

No rubbing! Just need to trim the inner plastic in the front wheel wells for additonal clearance! Thanks to everyone who helped me make this decision! I got a lot of criticism from some of the local guys that they would be too big, but they are perfect! :rck:

VERY nice! The combo looks sexxy as hell. I believe that look will be worth the added road noise, shouldn't be hard to get used to
