I have a 05 SLT 4x4 with 4.7 swb. All stock. 265/70R17. Chrome clad wheels.When i go in the mud i get mud between the wheel and thetire. If i dont wash out mud imediately it causes the wheel to be out of balance and undriveable.Is there a fix besides new wheels or caulking the space between tire and wheel and new balance.

 

Nah.
All you can do is powerwash out the mud.
A lot of inexperienced 4x4 guys get caught out not doing this.
If if doesn't get caught between the tyre and the rim, the nud gets fouled up somewhere else.
You gotta' em' clean bud, before you hit the road.
Also while your at it, give the whole undercarraige a blast as well.
Take care though, to not blast 1,000000 bar pressure of water into sensitive arears of the truck such as CV boots etc.
The presuure washer will tear them to shreds if it's a big one.
Al.

 

arethere better rims that shed mud easilyvin the 17

 

They make a product you spray on your rig/bike before going in the mud,to make it easier to wash the stuffoff. I don't know the name of it though. Ask at the 4wd/motocross shops.
