Well firstly I have to say, I am very very proud of myself for finally being able to do such a thing to a vehicle, so for 21yrs old I am proud of myself to achieve this. I have never ever been able to afford aftermarket wheels and bigger tires with my past vehicles. I finally was lucky enough to do so, and I checked with a bud at a local customs shop and he helped me get this set for $2,350 out the door. Very very pleased, and the new look is exactly what I had pictured. Ever since 05FX4 and mblouir got their wheels and tires, I have highly admired the look and stance of their vehicles and wished someday I could do the same. Well that day finally arrived.
The wheels are XD Monsters in 20x9, +18 offset/5.71 backspacing, the tires are Toyo Open Country M/Ts in 33x12.5. I love these wheels, they are incredible. The tires are awesome also, the mean aggressive stand still stance, the excellent handling on-road, and the sweet low hum the give between 30 - 50 is awesome.
looks awesome, its a great feeling knowing you bought your truck, wheels and everything else on it when im only twenty.. looks great though, one thing. IMO lose the foot rails.
'bout time man. they look awesome. good call with not buying my rims, as it looks like it worked out for both parties. what's the expected mileage out of them?
Nice.. your truck looks tons better.. now you just need to get them bumpers fixed!
I think if you threw some fender flares on it would look even better! I know BallinSTX and a couple other bought some ebay flares that are just a tad bit bigger than the stock FX4 flares and they look really nice. I think they're only like $180 or so..?
So yea.. bumpers, flares, nightshades tail lights, emblem decals, and you'll be good to go!

That looks great what a change wheels and tires can do to a truck.
