The wheels and tires are 20x10 moto metal 951 in black and 38x15.50x20 mickey thompson baja claw radials. The wheel and tire combo look amazing against the yellow and i love them. Pictures should be tonight, i'm going down to the shop in about 3 hrs and hopefully it will be done, if not i'll take my camera and take pics of it as it is, the lift is 90% done just needs the very last 10% to make it work, just bare with me guys pictures will be on tonight.

Well if i turn it all the way either way to the right or left they hit and if i go over a bump they rub pretty bad, i think personally u will need a body lift, especially if ur gonna be doing off roading, them tires will hit everytime u go over a speed bump nvm a huge rock, btw the body lift is a biatch and took a profesional with a lift and every tool imiganable 15 hrs to do. Pics should be tomorow guys, said that ages ago but things come up as josiah knows, u will be amazed at how good this truck looks.
