Whatcha' think?

[NewbieVet]

OK so Sol is the kingmaker and has got me thinking and looking into 18s with some 33s with a 3/2 lift. Here's what I'm looking at:

Ultra 247/248

Toyo Open Country MTs (33s)

Readylift 3/2

Looking at right around 3k out the door.

Thoughts?

Not a fan of the rims but thats just personal preference. The tires are bad ass. The lift I can get you for alot cheaper, give me a second and Ill send you the link

I say it looks good. I think you should go with 35s. you have 33s right now with no lift.

 

[SOLISIMO]

Here ya go, I wil email him if they can swap it for a 3" but I think its the same or they mislabeled mine

There is a guy with a 4x4 that ran 35's and had to do some major cutting, plus it says 35s will fit with oem rims/offset not aftermarket bc its pokes the rim out more.

kick ass, thanks for the link sol.

I'm not sold on the rims yet or the tires for that matter. These were the first ones I saw when i stopped by the store today. The guy says the tires are awesome, and now that you 2nd that they are looking even better. I do like the look of the rims but am still open to various other "industrial" looking blacks. I'll post more as they enter my field of vision. Do you think I can sell my status canes on here? If so how much? With wheels and tires they are 4k new.

i really like the wheels, but i'd have to say why not go with an aggressive A/T tire instead of a loud M/T?

 

[walnuts4x4]

those tires are kick ass good.... but I think you could do a little better on rims.... i'll look for the link to the store I have used before for good package deals

[jjbusa]

[tallsville]

I like those on a black expy....

 

[GAINMOB]

i like the rims...great choice...then again...the 1st one that TIG put on here is NIIIIIICE...

 

[SOLISIMO]

+1 for tigs

 

[Tigster]

you should have a 4wheelparts.com store by you, it is where I got the pictures from. They stock tons of these and are pretty darn nice guys who specialize in trucks and jeeps. I have bought alot from them over the years.

Damn tig, they've got a lot of nice wheels on that site!!

Can someone explain the importance of the "width" and the "backspace" they seem to differ a bit with each wheel.

 

[tallsville]

this might help a little

I get the definitions, but how do they affect appearance etc?

 

[SOLISIMO]

go to f150online and do a search for offset, there is a thread with many many pages where everyone posted their rims and offset that way you can get an idea, or pick the wheel and lets say it has -4.5 back the search google for f150 -4.5 backspace

 

[Soldier777]

I like your wheel and I like tig's first wheel. Tires are also bad ass
