Question what do you think?

tell me what you think...I just put chrome 20" wheels off of an '08 Expedition on my '05 FX4...

Before: (sorry about the red boxes that was for when I sold the wheels)



After:



I think they are a huge improvement, what do you guys think? Would they look alright on 33"s or would that be ridiculous?

The current tires are way too small for your truck - time to put some serious meat on those wheels.

Did you need to explain what the "wheels" where to them?

Nice Job on the rims!!!
I could have gone bigger with my tires--don't make the same mistake.

Yes, yes, oh and yes. Diffinately need some bigger tires on there. It's an fx4, i would put an aggressive looking at or maybe some toyo mt's on.

I would have bought a meatier tire at first, but I bought the wheels and tires as a package deal. So now I am wondering if they should be bigger. I thought so too! Thanks for all the great advice!

Sweet! A set of 305/55-20 BFG AT KO's or Terra Grapplers would make it look even better.

Figures that I found this site too late.
Is 305/55-20 the biggest you suggest? without rubbing and
all that fun stuff on a 9x20 rim?
