Sweet Screw! If you go with a black wheel, I'd suggest something with a chrome lip or beadlock and a chrome centercap.

hey wandell, on a 20x10 wheel, what tire do you recommend? is a 12.50 sufficient?

i believe it is the lowest you can get, i know its single digits. what type of rim are you going with, since you got silver? im not to sure with black because really liked the black finish. it just looks like a dirty rim. chrome always looks good on truck, thats why iam leaning more towards the chrome. but i do not know how the chrome will look on silver.

Cool Black Moto Metal 951's

Hey Nooq, Have you looked at the Black version of the Moto Metal 951's. That's what I plan to install on my '04 FX4. I have not heard anything bad about them and they are cheap in price. They also have a little crome on them, just enough to give it that shiny and clean looking appearance. Check 'em out if you have not already done so.

Hey, What kind of lift is on your truck? I am planning on getting a 6" Fabtech.

I just got some 35/12.5/18's on my 05 FX4 and they look great. I'll take some pics tomorrow.

I had to trim some even with a 3" body lift and a 2.5" leveling kit. These tires make it sound like you have a crop duster with you at all times and they dropped my fuel mileage pretty noticeably, but I love them. I have them on the chrome hulks and I think they look nice. Chrome is actually pretty easy to clean as well. I had to get the tires/rims because a guy on here was selling them for $1100 and they were in almost new condition.

I like the black... but then again, I'm biased.

I actually considered the black XD Rockstar rims with the star in the middle, but chose what you see below instead:

Thanks. There's a 3" body lift and I have no complaints. I had it installed and they quoted me 10 hours labor. It ended up taking them 18 hours because they found out later that you have to remove the entire interior of the newer models to put the body lifts on. They won't quote less than 18 hours to anyone else. lol I guess it didn't help that I had an amp and sub in there as well. These guys are VERY good so if it took them 18 hours, it will take others longer most likely. I thought I would do it myself until I saw the instructions. That changed my mind immediately. I paid $1300 to have the 3" body lift and 2.5" leveling kit put on. As I said before, it also took a little trimming/hammering to make sure they clear. They still rub some when I hit a large bump or dip while turning hard (like into my driveway).

went chrome but had to fight off the other friends who were practicly chanting black, black, black! lol black is hard to get a wheel to really show up against a black tire and black inner fender well. Chrome or machined finshed lip or bead protector is a must with black in my opinon. chrome can be too bright if truck doesn't have chrome acc to go with it, again in my opinion. T
