i agree w/ that on some instances.

xxdriverxx's truck would look sick w/ a set of fiberglass fenders and bedsides tho. would look good in a pre-runner set up IMO.

05f150 while i think your tires look a little too stuffed its probly from the wheel choice sticking out, i still think it looks good. what kind of rubbing are you getting? my friends talking about doing it on his f150.

none, little trimming and no problems with rubbing. it is a 20x10 wheel so they were supposed to stick out. some people dont like the look, and its all good and well. i have a 6 inch lift but im not putting it on until my 35s wear down because i will be going 37s with the 6 inch lift.

oh and by the way the other truck its 6 inch lift on 37s.
he said "step up to 35s or dont even bother", whats he tryin to say? i rather run 33s and look clean then all disconvobulated with an oversize tire and fat rims, and if u disagree and feel hurt for what i say then that shall be ur opinion i suggested to the op 33s and then get the "dont even bother" remarks sayin it like if 33s were no comparison to 35s, its just a mere 2 inch diffrence, and by the way ur truck doesnt look half as bad as i think those wheels are more stylish but i find how ppl like u put in an overstuffed mud tire in a stock suspension YES STOCK a spacer doesnt count as a lift LOL...and its a 2wd....practically a car with a bed for all i care!! im out of this thread, sorry to the OP but i insist on leaving i find it pointless to argue over a tire size and looks

35's or don't bother? some people don't need 35's? i am going to run a 4 in with 35s but thats me. And lifting your truck doesn't give you anymore ground clearance, all that is left up to bigger tires. All a lift does is give you room for the tires for ground clearance.

with 1/4" spacers they only rub at full lock, some very minor trimming of the plastic was required.

I am running 33's (10' wheels) for now until they wear out. That said, I have a 6" suspension lift, and I don't think my truck looks "retarded". See pic below. To each their own opinion.........
