How Do These Wheels Look?

Well I was looking on Discount Tire and I'm going to lift my truck soon and I figured why not give it a start and get some new wheels.

So I found these and figured they would look good on a lifted truck.

http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/fin...bp=&vid=005978

So for $636 bucks out the door I can have those wheels.

Now heres the question. My lift wont be on the truck for a while. I wanted to get some nice wheels like Helo Maxx or MM, but figured why not save some money since I'm going to be wheelin a lot and don't want to ruin the nice wheels. They are all for show. Anyways I'm running 265/70/17 do you think I could take it to Discount Tire have them take off the wheels and put these new ones on? Will there be any issues? Also what do you think of them?

Those are sharp. They are only 1/2 inch wider than your OEM 17x7.5's so the 265's will fit fine.

So that means my tires will stick out just a tiny bit than stock right?

And in the future any 35x12.50/17 will fit right?

Those Predator wheels are sharp! I looked at those before buying my MB Rockers!

Right. THey will only stick out 1/2 inch more if they have the same 4.5 inches of backspacing as your OEM wheels.

Those wheels are sweet!

I had Discount switch out my wheels for around $180 (IIRC) - didn't buy the wheels from them or the tires but that price included lifetime balancing/rotating and free flat repair. Being that you'll be buying the wheels from them, you might be able to get it done for less.

Oh hey nice truck! Haha yeah I haven't seen a single truck with our color scheme. I have two questions for you. Your 285/70/17 do they rub at all? Are you all stock? Not even TB cranked? Also your custom box where is that located? Under your seats? I'm looking for a box that will hold at least two 10's that wont take up any passenger seating.

I guess I'm the only one that doesn't like those wheels. How about some black "buggy" wheels? The look good on just about everything I've seen, they're cheap so if you bend one it's no biggie, it would match your black on the bottom.

Actually in person the bottom is a dark blue. Hard to see from the pictures.

Never seen one with dark blue. I still think the buggies would look good though.
