What wheels are these? Any lift? Rubbing?

 

Yes those are Addicts. They don't make them anymore. They do offer a close option.

 

You guys talking about the lug centric wheels...I just got a set of moto metals and it freaked me out, I thought they didn't fit at first. I could swear that when I use to have Fuels they were hub centric.

 

Yeah. Funny thing actually on my dad's 09 ram 1500 i did the brakes on yesterday it was lug centric. Also it had a front and rear 4 link set up with coils...got a little jealous until i realized how awesome mine was again lol.

 

Is anybody riding on the Ballistic's Jester? I'm thinking of getting a set of 17x9 for mine and was wondering if anybody here has had them and what they thought of them. And of course with a set of Cooper ATPs 285/70/17, best tires I've had yet.

Here's a picture of them.

 

A guy in my town drives around with those on his tundra, they look well made and are very good looking rims.

 

Do aftermarket wheels make it easy to get to the manual locking hubs?

 

Depends, some wheel manufactures sell open center caps so you can access the hubs but others don't, my monsters cover my hubs but what I'm doing instead is leaving them locked and just turning on the transfer case when i need it this winter. It's also keeping everything moving so that they don't freeze up on me like they did before. If i was to get a set of winter rims though i would either drill a hole in the center cap or get a set that can come with open center caps. Also with that said though you can technically remove the center cap in the winter.

 

Not many ive seen. I left my front center caps off and it doesnt look bad at all. I have warn hubs though

 

mine have a plastic cap and i keep the allen wrench in the glove box if i needed to pop them off. luckily my auto hubs still work perfectly...(weird right??) so during the summer it doesn't bother me because if i think i'm going to need 4x4 i just shift in and the autos kick in and i dont have to worry.

 

Wish I didn't have to replace my autos every two years lol otherwise I'd be in the same boat as you ex. One thing you can do is if your dead set on keeping the know exposed is drill a small hole and use a fork shaped tool to turn the knows or drill a large hole so you can use your hand...or remove it in the Winter. I just left mine and if it's gonna snow I pull the cap twist the know and put the cap back on until the snow is all done falling

 

It'd be handy if they'll come with an open center. I do a lot of offroading when I go camping/mountain biking etc on my time off.

 

Russ I think the auto hubs are a hit and miss to survive. Our 02s hubs still work great but did have a problem when we first bought it.

Need some semi truck tire F350's!

 

New skids ( 37's ) on the same Teflon coated wheels.
I love em. Minimal effort to keep them clean.
