R you going to PTM your blue bumpers, or have them blacked out? If not IMO totally some nice chrome XD hoss's or some Mazzi Hulks would look good on that color.

I plan on painting the bumpers to match the blue, as well as painting the beige stripe blue. I think I'll ditch the step bars too..

Are those 18" or 20"s?

If they are 18s, you will have a rubbing problem with Rockstars unless you raise the front of your truck at least 2". I have a 2" AS lift with 18x9 Rockstars and mine rub on the plastic when in reverse on the drivers side. They only offer the 18s in a 0 Offset, which means 5" of back spacing. The large lugs on Toyo MTs are just big enough to catch the lower valence on a leveled truck, so it will be worse on yours.

I am pretty sure they make a 20x8.5 with 5.71" BS, so you could try those without a lift. The factory 20s are 8.5 inches wide with 6.5" BS. The factory 18s are 7.5 inches wide with 5.5" BS.

I agree you should Paint the bumpers and lower panels if you are planning to go with black wheels. There is a guy on here with a dark blue FX4 with black Rockstars and his truck looks pretty good. I think his bumbers and lower panels are Dark Shadow Gray.

Here is the guy with the Dark Blue FX4. I could not find his member name, but this is a picture I saved when I was looking at trucks with black rockstars. The picture is a little dark, but you can see his bumpers are not chrome.



Here is another truck with Black Rockstars and he has the chrome bumbers. Of course, it would be easier to photoshop the wheels if you had a profile picture...

if you go with the black rockstars, I would say you gotta think of something to do with that arizona beige trim..its going to look real funny with those chrome bumpers and that trim with some black rockstars.

Deeker, I have the same color truck and I started blacking it out a few months ago. So far I have the headlights, fog lights, and emblems black. I want to get the bumpers painted to match and then get the silver rocker panels painted blue.
