kkirt1,
Looks good. Do you happen to know what the offset is on the AR Atlas 16X8s you have? The wheel I'm looking at right now has a -6mm offset and I'm not sure if it will bring the tire out as far as I want it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
DJer

American Racing Atlas backspace in the 16x8 and 5x135mm pattern for 97-99 Ford 2wd and 4wd is 4.5" and 0 offset. Your tires wont stick out.

Hope this may help you.

Flatlander, I really like those AR 136 wheels. I looked them up on the AR website, but didn't find if those are polished, or chrome. The MSRP of $190 that the website had makes me think polished, is that right? They also didn't have 16X8 as a size for that, they only had a 16X7 listed. Any info appreciated, but I dig your wheel/tire combo

My wheels are polished aluminum. It's a real pain in the *** to clean/polish them but they look good for a while after. I ended up with the cheapest price through a local Western Auto for $160 apiece mounted and balanced on the tires I already had. They are 16x8's. -wish I had 10's though

No rubbing here! This is the second setup I have had like this. The first was on a '97 SuperCab. It rubbed a little on the factory mud gaurds until I took my dremmel to them. I just shaved a little off the inside of the gaurd and walla... no more rubbing. Couldn't tell either.

I think it is a great setup. It really makes the truck look better IMHO! Go for it then lets see some pics!

On another note: I had some problems balancing the 305's on my last truck. This time I took it to a shop with a Hunter 9000 vibration control system... man do these tires ride nice now! It costs a little more, about $100, but I think it is worth it. I probably could have gotten it done for less but I was in a hurry. Well worth it at $100 though!
