Beautiful wheels. BTW you need to fertilize and edge your grass, or perhaps you should tell your gardener to do that since if you can afford those wheels, well you must have a caretaker too.

lol...it's only rained like 1 time in the last month 1/2 here. I have watered the lawn a lot and it's been fertilized, but the green grass season is almost over anyway. At least I don't have to mow it if it doesn't grow.

I have 295/40/20 tires on for the time being. I think I am going to go with 315/35/20 on the rear and 275/45/20 on the front when I buy new tires.
Those wheels are max pimpy!

But I would carefully consider the decision to run different tires f/r. The Lightning already understeers pretty badly. Narrower fronts/wider rears would certainly look cool, but will likely make the truck understeer worse.

I guess it depends on what you do with your truck.

I love those wheels. Are they gonna be like the moda f5's where I like them and can't find any? I don't autox my truck, but I would still get the same width front and rear. That way they can be rotated. Looks badass

Thanks for all the nice comments guys. I'm really enjoying the way they make the truck look. I guess a good bonus is that they actually weigh less than my stock wheels and tires.

No, these are where you like them and can't afford them. $6K minimum.

Have you checked out SMC, the OEM of the F5s? SMC still lists them as a current wheel.

I'll answer another question I have gotten a few times.

The backspacing is 5.75" which is the same as a +6 offest.

Grimace...

Not sure what prices you have seen, but the Moda F5's are $379 each for the 20x9.5 at this site:

Seems like I've seen a couple of knockoff copys of the Moda's too. I think it was an Akuza brand wheel.
