Any rubbing with the stock wheels? I'm placing the order this week for tires and if those don't rub too bad I think I have to get them, they look great. Also, what should I expect to see in MPG drop? Thanks

Jake the vent shades are AVS and yeah i like them a lot.

MTtruckr the tires did rub pretty good at first but i got some .25 inch spacers and now its very minimal, not really a concern. Gas dropped about 2 MPG but not sure how accurate that is considering i havent reprogrammed yet, not sure if that will affect it.

Very nice, thinking of the same setup myself. Do you have any pics from the front? Just wondering how far the tires sit out compared to the fender flares.

Harmsie I'll try and take a pic tomorrow, but i am looking to go from .25" spacers to an 1.00", i think it will look a lot better if i can find some. I just dont think they stick out wide enough.

jbgp1200 they ride pretty good for a mud tire, i mean you can definitley tell a difference in ride quality but thats to be expected. And noise is pretty minimal, with the radio on i dont even notice them.

Thanks, I was wondering about that. I found some 1.25" spacers on ebay last night. Are there any negative side affects on the suspension from adding the wheel spacers? Will you get tire rubbing elsewhere if you add another .75"?
