Platinum: New Wheels, washed, and FINALLY, NEW PICS

Thanks to the help of many on previous threads, I got my new wheels on, and, with the weather finally permitting me, trucks is washed, and was able to snap a few photos on my iPhone while I was at work. Thanks and Enjoy!!

**All photos are from my iPhone so excuse the quality**

BEFORE SHOTS:






AFTER SHOTS:









The wheels are 20x9 Fuel Hostage in black and machine with +14mm offset wrapped with LT305/55r20 Nitto Terra Grapplers. 2" AS Level on front. Other than that, some small mods and Magnaflow Catback muffler.

Originally I wanted +20mm offset but they actually sent them in wrong but once we installed it, I loved the look and decided to stay with it!
More photos in my album guys!

Thanks man! As of now, I don't plan on lifting, I would like to but I think it looks more professional without the lift. I do want to add a block and new shocks in the rear soon though. As of now, not lift yet. But we will see

Risupercrewman, I loved that look too but this makes the truck more personal for my taste. Different strokes for different folks eh? But the homes you see in that particular subdivision are 120-160.

Tat2thor, I sold them locally

Nice! They look much better in real life than the online pictures make them out to be. They pair well with the brushed grille and tailgate!

Man that looks nice. Right tires and right rims. I'm not much into adding a lot of aftermarket stuff as I think it usually makes trucks look to loud IMO. With your truck, you got the right combination. I'm not for the rubber band look but your combination looks perfect. I like how the wheel sticks out of well, makes it look tough.

Good Job!
