about $1416. not including tax and shipping. and if i get them from there they can ship them assembled. but thats just thinking. i might just get the tires. will they fit on my stock rims? ive always liked these tires. like theres so much snow in SD but still gotta cross the mountains to get to the desert.

I like those wheels! If you are talking about 35,s with no lift/at least a 3" BL hang it up. I,d go with at least an 8" wheels to run a tire that size

dont know if its true or not but tire pros said 4.5 backspacing will make it just about flush on a gen 2. not sure if this is true with a gen 1.
