Honestly, I can't make up my mind. Im going to leave it for a while with the exception of painting the system black.

No they stick out. I think its perfect. I'll go grab a shot of it.

 

 

hmm, that's not bad at all. Doesn't seem to stick out as far as Josiahs.

Well I'm between these tires and rims or putting 37s on my 22s. Your overall tire diameter is 15 right? My 22s are a 9.5 inch rim which should be able to hold a 12.5 inch tire. So I'd stick out 1.5 inches less than you.

Geese you really have me wanting to buy my G35 for the daily driver now and doing this to the truck to be my fun machine. Only thing is it'll be a pain to keep polishing the chrome rims in the winter. Here in MN the salt will reak havoc on chrome rims. You can't put the stockers back on after a lift either for the winter or it'll just look silly. Maybe a set of rims and tires for the winter that are alloys but that's playing with money I don't have.

what I'm going to do is get some cheap used 35's or 37's mounted on my stock 18" wheels to use whenever they salt the roads.

 

You lost 4mpg going from 35's to 37's. I remember you getting 17 with the engine mods and 35's you had on your last truck. Try cruise @ 55 and let me know what you hit as I'm guessing you were going 70+/- to get 13mpg. Even @ 65 I think I'm getting around 16-17, don't often drive that fast though so not positive. Rize does not come with a cv spacer, Fabtech's is 3/4" so it definitely sticks farther out. Your wheelbase is about an extra couple inches in width with the Fabtech so it's up to you what look you're going for. I like them both.

 

Only problem is up here they salt the roads 6 or 7 months out of the year.

Truck looks awesome man

 

Correct, Rize does NOT increase track width. Another reason why I chose Rize. This truck has never got the same mileage as my other truck. Im hoping as it breaks in it'll do the same thing as my other one and go up. Im not worried about it, its a lifted truck. I love it regardless!

F150 Duke, what about a set of black teflon coated wheels?

 

Very good point, black teflon coated wheels should be safe, though I've never seen them before to gauge how they look. Hopefully they're cheaper and I could put a set of tires on there that would do well in snow and then it'd be a fun lifted snow truck too.

Again, your truck looks great Thumper. Good luck keeping her clean. It is going to be even worse with those tires sticking out. But well worth the effort.

 

American Racing sells a couple of different styles of the black teflon wheels.
