New Rims & Tires

[TheGuyWho]

Finally got my new wheels on the Expedition today. Been sitting in the garage for almost a month, just needed to get some other things put on before I bothered with the wheels. Didnt want to get an alignment twice. Anyways, here is what it used to look like:




And here is what she looks like after today:









General Grabber AT2's in 295/75/16 and Pro Comp rims. Rancho RS5000 shocks and a Rancho steering stabilizer. I dont have plans at the moment to go any further. I like the stock ride height. Although looking at it now I may need to do a spacer in the rear to level it out a bit.

Looks good man

 

[TheGuyWho]

Thanks! I know its not anything all that impressive around here, but Im super happy with the way it came out. Just need to paint all the exterior trim pieces black and ill be happy. I really hate the gray on silver contrast…

No center caps? Looks good. It will look even better when you level it out.

it will look good with the level. like your selection of tires and rims what you do with the old rims? cause i like them. and their 17s. more tire options. haha

 

[TheGuyWho]

I still have the old oem rims... You want 'em? They still have the tires on them though. And I wouldn't say they're perfect either. They need a good solid cleaning and polish for sure.

Yeah, no center caps. I bought the rims used for $100 so I really didn't care about the missing center caps. I guess I should try to find some though. I'm just not a big fan of those long ugly looking center caps. It seems like as I cross one thing off my "to do list" I wind up adding 2 more afterwards. Hahaha

maybe. tires i dont care for. and your rims have road rash??? o no! have you seen what i do with my rig? haha but i would most likely remove the tires and paint them. maybe bed line them. haha make them my "off road" rims. haha

 

[TheGuyWho]

Hahaha, I guess Im just used to clean stuff. Even after I take my trucks in the mud I wash them… Hahaha, for a 2002 my paint is clean!!!

Yeah, if you're interested in the rims lemme know. I just want to get rid of them before I move in a week! Just make me an offer and take 'em…

 

[panda24619]

double post. haha but yeah i dont blame you. but i like my paint clean, but its too big to wash every day. and for a 98. my paint shines better then some new cars off the lot.

 

[TheGuyWho]

Thats because all the new cars have that ****** water based paint! I hate that crap! Its one reason why I didn't want to buy a newer model.

 

[panda24619]

water based paint? rnt all paints water based? idk crap about paint. except to try and protect them. primer, paint, clear, clear x2. then wax wax wax. claybar sometime, then wax wax wax. haha

I love it man!!!!!! Btw you can check ebay for center caps

 

[walnuts4x4]

looks good but a spacer will make it look a lot better... and those are my favorite tires... except they don't make them big enough for me...

 

[tallsville]

[Remo]

Looks pretty good to me. What width and offset or backspacing are the wheels?

 

[GAINMOB]

looks good and beefy...

 

[blackEB2008]

nice upgrade, truck looks ready to rock.

 

[TheGuyWho]

Thanks guys! I love them so far!
There's a tiny bit of rubbing on the front bumper, but its not that bad. And it only happens on uneven ground. I may just have the front cut a little.
