Talking New Tires and Wheels

I'm pretty happy. You never know how stuff you ordered is going to look until it's on. This stuff turned out better than what I was expecting.

Daystar leveling kit
MB (Discount Tire Brand) Gunner 6 17x8 Wheels
Goodyear MTR 305/70-17
Westin Bull Bar (lights are on order)
Airaid kit
Magnaflow Cat Back
Superchip 1745

And in case anyone was wondering, the wheels and tires fit with no rubbing or trimming.

Very nice! I've been eyeing those gunner wheels myself.

I'm curious though, how do you like those "rectangles" on the lip?
Any chance you can post a close up of the wheel lip?

Awesome job!!!

I actually saw the chrome ones and saw a listing for black centers with machined lips. I really like them. The nice thing is, for such an inexpensive wheel, you don't see too many around.

I hope this works. Excuse the photography and the cleanliness. I'm detailing this weekend.

Have a naner!

I put the MB Rocker 17x9's on my 05....no problems with calipers, or with 295/70/17 Nittos.....many concerns with the calipers after my 5 months of research though. Some 17s do not fit. 2.5 Daystar kit on to assist of course.

Pics in my gallery.

Looks good.....hope you are enjoying your retirement....mine is just 5 months away!

Actually my retirement date is 1 Aug with a final work day sometime in June. I'm just acting like I'm retired right now. I'll be 40 in July. Figure I'll take a year or so off before I make up my mind what I'll do. My retirement will cover expenses. Will eventually get a job to cover toys.

I figured that they were pretty good when I saw the guys that work at 3 different shops running them. Glad to hear they last that long too. I appreciate the nice comments, your truck was the one that got me looking at the MTRs.
