Look what I just got for $400 :)

[SOLISIMO]

Brandnew in Box 18x9.5 with -14offset. $400 shipped, I cant believe they took my offer. These are going on 33" mud grapplers with a 3/2 lift. Cant wait!

I wanted 20's but like the smaller rim with bigger sidewall look.

very nice. my neighbor has an exp EL and has a similar setup with pro comp wheels. I should sneek a pic for ya...

Wow. Thats a very nice set of wheels for an even nicer price. I looked for something similar in a 5 lug with no luck

Yes please do!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[rptr00]

not sure if its the truxxx 3/2 or the daystar 2.5 but it looks pretty good on 325 60 18. wheels are pro comp 18x9. pic is a little blurry since it was taken with my cell but...

 

[SOLISIMO]

Can u find out if it's 4x4 ? What's his tire size equal to? I love the way IRS looks but his looks smaller

 

[rptr00]

I'll ask him the next time I see him. Tires are equal to 33"

 

[SOLISIMO]

Weird what are urs bc urs look bigger

 

[rptr00]

mine are 34.5" (315 70 17). When these are done, I'll go to a 35 12.5 17 about 34.8"

found this pic on ebay. Its a 4wd FX4 with the 2.5 rough country lift on 325 60 18, same size you will have, rims are 18x9.

that truck has a pretty cool looking push bar too. haven't seen one of those on an expedition yet.

 

[SOLISIMO]

Well I think those 33's look perfect on that truck, infact I think 35's might be a bit to much on an 18" rim.

 

[rptr00]

yeah thats what I was going to go with but got a deal I couldnt pass up on 17's and 35's...

 

[rptr00]

If you go to the truxxx website http://www.truxxx.com/photo/thumbnails.php?album=1 they have a lot of photos with different tire size combo's. Unfortunately, they dont always list the size in the photo.

 

[SOLISIMO]

Is this a true statement? This is from Wandel btw which Im sure you know who this is

The 4x4's and 4x2's are the same height and use the same suspension. The leveling kit he use is made by Trux. It's just a set of metal spacers that bolt on top of each coilover shock.

good question there. All of the specs I have seen show that both the 2wd and 4wd have 8.9 inches ground clearance. I have seen the stock 4wd and cannot tell that they are any higher. Now truxxx and readylift both state that 2wd can only go 33 and 4wd 35. And yes, the plates do mount on top of the shock/strut. Curious if anyone else knows the 2 trucks to be different in ground clearance cause the specs do not.

Btw I meant 35's on 18's might looked too stuffed, on 17's they look perfect

 

[rptr00]

thanks for the link. At least now I know what brand it is.

 

[nvycrmn]

i dont think there is really much of a difference of 35 on 17's or 18's. just a little less rubber on the 18's i believe. i was runnin 35's on 16's, now im runnin 35's on 18's and there just seems to be a little less rubber. doesnt look as aggressive.

 

[rptr00]

ageed. I would like to step down to a 16 but no one makes them in the 6x135 pattern and I dont think the brakes would clear
