Default New wheels and tires...

Well I finally got some good picture of my new wheels and tires. The wheels are 17" Eagle Alloys with Firestone Destination M/T 285/70/17 tires. The wheels have a -11 offset and 4.5" of backspacing. I was worried about the tires sticking out too far, but they are just right. I also tried that new motorized detailing spray. Worked really fast and I like that it cleans your glass and shines the black plastic too (unlike typical spray wax). Took out all my water spots.

Those wheels suit your truck to a T! Black rims are not my choice for my truck - already a lot of chrome on my truck, so chrome is what I'll go for this fall (no money right now).
Nice tires too. Very agressive - I like. How do they sound on the pavement? Noisy?

I am not a fan of black wheels but they really set your truck off nicely. Looks like if you pulled behind be on a lonely dark road I would try hard to lose ya LOL

VERY NICE!

Gave me flashbacks to the wheels/tires my cousin used to use in the 1980's!

Thanks guys! The tires definetly ride rougher than before, but I expected that. These are my first MT tires so there is nothing to compare it to. They are not too noisey, I mean if the stereo is on like 18 its over powers the tires. No lift, just a RC leveling kit.
