Impo.....
Their is no other single thing that can make a truck look better, than big wheels / tires.
On the other hand, one needs to strongly consider the cost of huge tires (upfront, and replacements) and wheels. Next, the proper proper suspension, proper gearing, upgraded brakes...... and lest anyone argue the need for this stuff with giant wheels, well, you might not need it but I wouldn't even consider giant tires and wheels without it.
Anyway, these 40"s are going to look great but unless you have $$$ coming out your ears, to do it all right, probably not a great idea.
I always dreamed about how cool it would be to have a truck that worked great (like mine) and another truck, that looked great, with giant wheels / tires, huge lift, etc.
So, am I envious ? Well, in the looks dept heck yes I am !
(then again, at least mine is Stone Green

Must see pics of these 40"s when they are on. Haven't seen you driving round lately though. Only saw you driving in the Avenue once over Christmas break.

Hey Eff150....
Basically towards anybody with 40" tires on their F150's. I wasn't paying much attention to "who actually had them, or who was getting them".
Either way, this one thing kills my truck for absolute good looks
But again, I would have to believe that guys with trucks like this, don't use their trucks the way I do (or as much) ....or, they just have tons of cash, to do it all correctly in the first place, then pay for all that extra gas... tire replacements down the road, etc.
I just can't imagine using a truck like this for frequent 200 mile round trips, like I do with mine..... or getting my fishing tackle, iceboxes, deep cycle batteries, etc, in and out of the bed on a darn near daily basis. What a PITA that would be !
But they sure do look great
Peace,
Fish

Well that's why you don't have 40's haha. When I get my 40's I will still continue to use my truck as a daily driver. Do I have a lot of money? Nope, its just something I want to do and continue to work ( don't really have a choice considering I just re enlisted for another 5 years ) to pay for these things. I guess I don't have anything else to look forward too then building my dream truck and not giving a damm what anyone else says haha

It is a custom modified bullet proof lift. The tires look like 52's cause that is a 26" lift but they could be 46's, pictures are always hard to tell...
Better to ask Memo the size of the tires. Long live that IFS!!! He jumped that truck with 40's on it

Not sure on the size of the tires, but that is not a full throttle lift.
