Looks good. Did you take the spacer off too? It had a spacer right?

I didn't realize KMC made those rims in 6x135...

yup, the only thing i did was downsize the tires.

sweet! Looks great, Sal you are the NBS F-150 pioneer. Might have to trade up and do it again with the new 09's coming out. I wish I had gears :[

Truck looks great! Can't go wrong with either way you've had it, but something about the new look I like a little better.

With the smaller tires it gives your truck that clean look to it.

Sal-

what is the backspacing on your new wheels?

Were you happy with the 13.5 wide mud grapplers on your 8.5" wide foose wheels? They look good in all your pics.

Im ordering up a set of 37x13.5 toyos and i am planning on a 20x9 wheels just so i can get the 5.5 backspacing and tuck them under the truck a little. The dealer is trying to talk me into the 20x10 with 4.5" back spacing.

I starred at your truck for about a minute, then wiped the side of my mouth.

Kodos and a big thumbs up for a "clean" look...

Thanks again to everyone!

the backspacing is 4.53 inches on a 20x9 wheel. They stick out a good amount compared to my foose wheels which were 20x8.5 with about 6.6 inches of BS. I was happy with the look of the mud graps on the 8.5 but i wish they had less BS, something around 5-6 inches and they would have been perfect for me. BUT with these KMC wheels only coming in a 9" width, i would not go with anything less than what i have because it shows off the wheel better in this set up.

On a side note, i just Pre-loaded this F-250 at our dealership:
