General's retired, XDs and Toyo's now in charge

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.

Well enough with the book, here we go.

The +18 offset and 5.71 backspace is perfect, not tucked in all the way, and not sticking out a yard.





And as for the Generals... well, I got 14k out of them I guess but.. still pathetic.

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!
