2013 Raptor Wheels on my '06 STX 4x4

Well I just installed a Rough Country 2.5" leveling kit with new brakes and Raptor wheels with 295/70/17 Nitto Trail Grapplers. Love how it turned out.

Nice, it looks very sharp. I did the same on my 05 and it really makes it stand out vs the OEM wheels

This looks really nice. I have an STX as well and hope to make a "poor-man's" raptor as well. Are those stock shocks?

Uh, 17" Raptor wheels? I always through they used an 18" rim... Go figure.

That looks awesome by the way... If you don't mind telling, how much did you pay for the rims?

Thanks! Yes they are stock shocks, but looking to upgrade soon.

I thought these were an 18 as well until I saw the casting on the back. I lucked out and found the set of four wheels only with stock locking lugs for $500 on craigslist. Had to drive 2 hours to get them, but it was worth it.

Sharp looking truck. I was driving through town yesterday, and seen an f150 setup just like this but a different color. I told my wife "that f150 looks tough, huh?" Great job!

Looks good, give me a shout when you're ready to do the shocks if you need install/alignment
