Couldnt take the pizza cutter look anymore. Now if my tinted window kit would have been the right color I would be set. Might still do 2 inch lift once the discos go on and see if it hits anywhere.

all the center caps do is look pretty . . . . and when they get smashed on rocks they make it impossible to get the lugs off! so by all means remove them!!!!

As far as fitting 15's I will crawl under tom. and see what kind of brake clearance there is. The backspacing is 5" and I think its perfect. Doesnt rub at full turn. The center caps are only off because I was goin to paint them black but not sure if I will even put them on now. Maybe when the lift goes on.

I doubt 15's will fit. My stock 16's are real close to the calipers, very close.

Like you, I'd paint the center caps black. Just my .02 cents - it's all in what you like. You've got a nice looking rig. The meats look killerfrom the rear.

You get any snow yet? please let us know how those tires are in it when you do get snow.

Yeah I had them in the snow the other day. Let me tell you this, I almost had a tree as permanent fixture in my passenger seat. :eek!: As long as your gassin it the tires go where you want but as soon as you let off and make a turn you better hope noone is in the other lane. This was in 4wh.

In the fresh snow that no one had been on yet they were fabulous. As long as you dont do anything stupid (which I did!!) they are not that bad in the packed snow.

Any rubbing?

No rubbing at all. They actually measure out with a tape at 32.5. I only had them off road once and didnt disonnect and it had plenty of clearance. Now with the sway disco I think you would need 2".

"Is this lifted? Im getting the same wheels but tire size will be 285/75R16."


In those pics it is not lifted. Just a 3/4 spacer in the front.


"do you have wheel spacers on or is it bone stock"


No wheel spacers. I went with a 5 inch backspace so I wouldnt need spacers.
