Help: Wheel/Tire Decisions

I'm not really in the market for wheels and tires, but I came across a smoking deal tonight.

1. 04-08 20" Roush F-150 Rims with rubber...about 30% life left on them $500.00
2. 305 x 55 x 20 Nitto Terra Grappler A/T $800.00

I checked and they're both still available...now the question.


Should I do it? With cash in hand, I can probably squeeze another $100-200 off the total price of $1,300.

My Wranglers are just fine. But I like the thought of those Roush wheels with 33" rubber vs. my 32" OEM's.


crappy part is that my other vehicle sorta needs tires and the wife is questioning the wisdom of this...and she's right for once

Ill be the other side.... when was the last time you did a big mod to the truck? just get the wheels/tires for your truck and some cheap-o's for the car down the road.

man. the 20" Roush Wheels are so awesome. and i LOVE the Nitto Terra Grapplers. thats a steal man.

Go for it!

You can take the other car to a place and have them throw some used tires on it ! =]

theres a place i go to all the time that does used tires for $30 a peice. plus $10 for mounting and balancing. damn $160 and the other car is set. that leaves the extra money your shaved off by paying in cash for the other car!
