After many questions,forum searches,debating and drooling over NCSU's truck I finally got my wheels and tires mounted up and ready to go. I'm planning on putting my 2" leveling kit on tomorrow , taking it to be aligned and then slapping these puppies on there. Heres a few pics of the wheels and tires and some before pics of my truck. I'll be posting the after pics tomorrow or Friday. To all who helped me out, it was MUCH appreciated.

 

Dang, that is gonna look great!! Really going to set your truck off....

 

I agree.

 

yeah, good choice.

 

Looks really good man.

 

Thanks guys, I feel like a little kid at christmas again.

 

Hey man, you're going to love the wheels! I will say though, if you still have stock brakes, be prepared to spend some time cleaning the wheels. Lots of little nooks and crannies to get into.

Can't wait to see some pictures! What tires did you get?

I'm thinking real hard about painting my lower panels black, can't wait to see how these wheels look on your truck!

The tires are 275/65-20 (34.1")Goodyear Wrangler AT/S. Yes I do still have stock brakes but I dont get much brake dust on my factory rims at all. I have noticed that these rims look like a pain to clean though, lol. Do you use anything special to clean them or just soap and water ? A guy at a detail shop told me to use windex, any truth to that ?

 

I just use soapy water and a fairly soft brush. To get the hard to reach areas I just sacrificed a MF towel to get everything off.

I've also been thinking about putting a new set of pads on, but I ran my fingers down the rotors they felt pretty wavy, so looks like I'll have to get new rotors too.

Don't know about the windex.. I'd stay away just in case.
