I was looking at those rims online last night. They look even better now that I can see them on a F150.

Great looking truck!

Thanks for the comments guys.
Haven't had it off road yet, but from the looks of it, I should have plenty of room. The pics really don't show the amout of room there is between the tire and the fender. I'll try to get a pic up of the wheel cranked over and the gap between the tire and fender.
The only off-roading I really do anyways is up and down the trails at the deer camp. Not too serious.

I'm not really sure just how much lift I got out of the autospring. I just know it was enough lift that it sat nose high and I had to get the add-a-leaf. It's been on for over a year now, and no visible/performance problems.

Just trying to wait patiently for the Xcal 2 to arrive.........waiting.....still not here. Damn!

Honestly when you first posted a picture, I thought they were going to be gross. However, mounted with a tire on the truck they look pretty damn good!!

Did you get the tires at the same time as the wheels? Or are those H2 take offs? How much for the whole package?

I bought the whole package from DT for around $1500. They don't give much of a discount on H2 tires here in Indy, so I just got it all from DT.

Any 6x135 lug pattern should fit the new F150s, as long as they are 17 inch rims or bigger. Watch your backspacing/offset when you order also.
These were 25 mm offsets and they fit pretty good.

I originally ordered the MB Gunner 6's but got sick of waiting for 2 months to get them (and they still didn't know when they would be in stock). Stumbled across these predators when I was looking online and thought they looked pretty good. Plus I got to save a few bucks.
I couldn't stand it to know that my tires were sitting at the store and not on my truck.

any update on the tire wheel combo now that you have been running a while? Do the gunner 6 wheels have the same offset as yours? Any rubbing on the 315's?
