New Shoes on my 2012!

I just put on new wheels and tires. I had the custom powder coated white wheels, but in the end the offset was not enough for me.

I went with American Racing AR910 20x9 with 18 offset. I am trying out the Toyo Open Country R/T 35x12.50x20. Little more tire than I really wanted, but they work. Had to trim the valance and flare a little bit. Next will be the Ready Lift 3" rear blocks and Bushwacker fender flares. :-)

That looks great, nice tasteful selections. I envy your supercrew with 6'5 bed configuration.

Rogue, I was wondering if you were still around these parts. Truck looks nice.
Those wheels would look good on my truck too

Yeah, been keeping a low profile. Still around.

Thanks, I am sure they would look cool on your truck!

We shall see. I think it has been raining up here forever. They will be much easier to clean than the white Enkei wheels.

I am using the Ready Lift Billet 2" level up front. I think sometime this week I will order the rear blocks.

Looking forward to hearing your experience with the Open Country RT's...

BTW Due to all the storms passing through here as well and living in the sticks my truck is brown....she needs a bath for sure.

I will let you know how they do. I hear you there. Last year was not too bad, but this year we have already reached our averages of rain. Snow is awesome up in the Cascades!

I really need to make a trip to the snow capped peaks of Southern and Central Oregon. It's been too long. Plus, lots of nice local craft beverages to try

You still happy with your spacers or are new coil overs next? Since you are running stock shocks.

I am still happy with my spacers. I am now trying to decide between rear blocks or add a leafs. I need to research which is better.

I may rethink my happiness once I take it wheeling with the new wheels and tires.

Wouldnt the additional leaf make the rear ride stiff as a brick unless you haul or tow heavy?

35's are a lot of tire but, unless you are hitting more than the forest roads up there you can get by

The leafs will stiffen the ride a bit, but I don't mind. The Lariat is a little soft anyway. :-)

It will work out great in the dunes and the mountain roads! I think I will see how they do in the snow this weekend.
