Depending on how much i gotta pay for school this semester might just wait to put lift wheels and tires on at once. If not I'm gonna go ahead and put them on, lift it and then get the tires.

You'll like them but should of gone with a bigger size. Everything is to close together in a 17.

Yea the bolts and there's ridge lines everywhere. I still like the look of having some side wall on the tires thou, don't mind 17's. My rims are 18.5" across what are yours like 22" lol

according to his sig, yes

to OP: I hope that your front brakes dont produce a lot of red brake dust like mine, makes my black wheels even harder to clean. I stilll havent found a fast way to get offf the brake dust. rags wont take it off, or brushes. only my finger gets it off easily.

Ordered the Trail Grapplers thursday, picking them up monday. $1300 shipped 35/12.5r17 with the replacement certificates just in case anything happens to them. I thought about going with a 20" wheel but I like the smaller wheel with lot of tire. 35s on 17s look perfect to me. Gonna go ahead and buy the lift monday Rough Country 6" and I'm gonna get the bilsteins for 4-6" lift.
