Check em out!



What a difference...I love em already!
wow! They look GREAT! What exact size and rim size is that again? I'd love to borrow them for pics on mine too saturday. At least on one side - just for the camera!

Cloudy and 65* with only 20% chance of rain is looking pretty good! I think I'll go open my lift kit box and stare at the pieces!

hey, is there still any issues with the 2.5" coil lift and the Rubi electronic disco? I remember hearing a few years back about something binding.

Thanks guys! Anyone can borrow them for the sake of the photo shoot

They're 35x12.50 15" tires and wheels. I seem to have no issue with caliper clearance at all. I'm very stoked.

thats sweet i had to get 315 75 r16 a weeee bit smaller than a 35 but only by less than half an inch or so. thats the price of getting a wheel that BF goodrich does not make the same tire size for. but it's all good i can't wait to get those tires your making me jealous now. i hope from what the trucking company says they will be in NY tomorrow and the trucking company should be able to drop them off friday keeping my fingers crossed

ok ok ok this is the chance you all have to steer me away from 18's hahahaha

I will def be throwing those on my rig for a few photos so I can stare at them and drool and then make my decisons... I must say... they look like freaking 37's or even damn 40's with that small of a rim and no lift... its really growing on me hahahaha

if you're going off roading, which you are, don't get 18's. I'm personally going 16's with 35's.

NOW GO TO BED!

Man, I sure do hope they get there in time too. It will be bad ass to have em as well.

Joey, I second the idea for smaller wheels. I personally love 15's cause like you said, it makes the tires look huge. But i'd suggest going with 16's. It's a good compromise, and you probably wont have to worry about any caliper issues. But I suppose we'll be test fitting all that.

And I second the notion...go to bed!

Hey if anything, if they've arrived on the island you may be able to go and pick them up if they can't schedule a delivery fast enough.
