drmstlr66 03-02-2005, 05:09 PM Have to agree there, very nice looking tires and wheels, can't wait to see them on the truck.
firecracker 03-02-2005, 06:36 PM Tell you what, I'll come over and clean out your garage! Including that AWFUL looking stack of "used" tires there in the middle. And, I'll do all of this for absolutely NO Charge! :hypnotiz: .
LOL :roflmao:

No kidding! My wife is flying to Texas in a few weeks to visit an old friend and while she's gone, the garage will get a long awaited cleaning.

TitanHauler 03-02-2005, 07:13 PM Ok. I planned to get the truck washed and waxed this afternoon but it started raining right as I was done installing the new wheels and tires. So, look past the dirt. Here are a few pics.
QWIKWHIP 03-02-2005, 07:18 PM Lookin good! :D
TitanHauler 03-02-2005, 07:23 PM Lookin good! :D
Thank you sir! Your new shoes are lookin good as well. I have only driven the truck a little bit since putting them on but my first impression is that they have got to be the quietest All-Terrains ever! I don't really think they are any louder than the stock tires. Very happy so far.
Wheel/tire combo lookin' mighty stout there! Might have to do the same meself..... :) How much total did they run you again?
Also, what is the offset/weight differential on these?

I agree, I took mine for a quick trip on the highway and they sound about the same as the oem tires, maybe a tiny bit louder if any. :D Do you have any rubbing? I'm just curious if the lift size matters. I have the 2" and you have the 2.5" right?

I don't hear any rubbing but I do notice that at full lock either way the tire is just barely touching the inner plaster fender but apparently not enough to make any noise. I would say this is definately the biggest tire you will get under the truck with the leveling kit. Your wheels are wider and have less offset if I remember too? Your truck is also 4WD right??? I think your truck sits higher to begin with.

I paid $2,182 shipped to my door. That included the Wheels, Tires, Mounting, Balancing, and Lugs/Locks. The offset on the wheels is the factory +25mm. There is quite a bit of difference in weight! Each wheel and tire weighs 98lbs!!!! They are heavy SOB's. The UPS guy gave me the look of death. :twisted:

You know I bet your right about the offset. Mine are flush with my flares and yours look to be almost flush with the body. Mine defenitly hits, you can hear it. But I'm sure it's easily fixed when I get time to get under there.

According to their website, your wheels have a +12mm offset which means with the 9" wide wheel you have approximately 37mm more to the outside over stock. That's awesome that they sit relatively flush with your flares! Mine sit just barely outside the fenders. I was going to get flares but I like the look now without since they don't stick out nearly as far as I thought they would.
BTW, did you notice that our tires are "E" load rated??? That is awesome! For some reason I thought they were only "D" rated. Talk about peace of mind towing. :)
Lanceman_1 03-03-2005, 07:48 AM I was looking at the same rims at discount tires and they were out of stock at the time. My question is will they work with the factory BF's ? and how do you get the tire pressure sensors back in those billy's ?

I'm assuming when you say the "Factory BF's" your talking about the Rugged Trails that come with the Off-Road Package? If so, you will need the rims in size 17X8 with a +25mm offset. They will work no problem! As for the TP Sensors, I just left them in my old rims and didn't transfer them. If you want them transferred most tire shops can do it including Discount Tire. There is a section of the Service Manual that deals with transferring the sensors. Search on this site for it, I think it's been posted before. Good luck. Oh, and BTW, your right about the backorder. I lucked out with mine, found the last 4 currently available in Ohio. :)
Lanceman_1 03-03-2005, 02:26 PM Titanhauler... Thanks for the info..
Caltitan 03-03-2005, 02:34 PM Very nice, your truck makes a statement of authority.
