Got them in this afternoon and wow, these wheels/tires make it a whole different truck.

18x9 Ultra Wheel Gauntlet wrapped in 295/70/18 Nitto Trail Grapplers. No rubbing even at full lock.

Here are a few pics, truck is filthy so I'll get more once I get it all cleaned up.













Just for comparison sake, when I brought her home about 5k miles ago.

 

your truck looks great!

i really like how you did your headlights

 

Very nice I just got my 18x9 wheels last weekend I love on mine and yours how the tires don't hang out way past the fenders but just a the lip of them. I am waiting just a little bit before I go and get tires. I am assuming you have a level kit to get those on there. I was wondering if this size would work on our truck.


Also what headlights and taillights do you have?

 

whats the offset and backspacing on those rims?

 

1.5" AS kit, that actually gave me 2"s. There is no rubbing at all.

The headlights and taillights are stock.

Headlights- I masked off the low/high beam portion and used niteshades to tint the rest of the light.

Taillights-Masked off the red/reverse section and painted over the chrome areas. Then lightly tinted the red portion with niteshades.

5.98 backspacing
+25mm offset

 

Truck looks great

 

Your truck looks great. I'm looking at running a similar setup with 18X9 mamba m2's with 295/70/18's. I don't want the tires to stick out to far but still have a good stance...how much farther do these stick out than your stock setup?

 

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

Not exactly sure but I would say 1" to 1.5". They stick out a lot less than I expected them to. It barely rained yesteday/today and I live on a dirt road. The truck definately has plenty of mud on the side of the truck because they stick out just enough.

 

Thank you...it looks like they are just right...not to wide and not to narrow. I'm looking at the Mamba 2's in a 18x9 and the setup is the same as far as offset and backspacing. How do those tires ride vs. stock?

 

The tires go down the road straight and smooth. They don't feel knobby or sway the truck. They do make a little noise but the stereo being on I don't notice it.

I can't wait for some real mud to try them out.

 

Looks awesome Grim!

 

Very nice, it sits perfect. I have an itch for a new truck and this isn't helping.

 

sweet the way it all ties in. i like the look and seems to have that cool factor

 

Any idea how much higher your truck sits than stock?

 

Looks good. I really like how you blacked out the chrome on your lights, too.
