Thanks i'll take a look

Yes sir. It was a 3.5" spindle & 1.5" Daystar spacer up front with a 3" Bodylift. Tires were 285/75/16. Pretty close to what you are looking for.

I dont think it would look too ridiculous. There isnt that much difference between the two tires. The 35's would look better obviously but its all a mater of personal preference. You could always buy the 35's and sell the 285's to make up the difference.

Yea that's pretty much how I decided how i was going to do it.. Keep the 285 for now. and if I really don't like it buy 35's and sell the 285's

Those were actually Pro Comp 1069's 16x10. Sometimes I wish I wouldn't have gotten rid of them.

Thanks Buddy. There are several wheels that look similar to those and I really like the way they look.

I loved those pro comps. It's a shame pro comp quit making 5x135 wheels.
