Heres the after pics yall....
Im really torn on tire and wheels!! I love alcoas, thats why I kept them on there, with used 35's for now. As you can see in the pics, the front is wider in the front. I personally dont like that. The tires barely rub when your really trying to...SO what Im thinking is.
1. Keep the alcoas, get 2 inch hub centric spacers for the rear from arrowcraft, and run 35'' cooper stt's.
2. 18'' XD diesels machined/black with slight neg offset to set them out a little, 2 in spacers in the rear, and 37'' tires. Different, yes.
3. 16'' or 18'' mickey thompson classic locks with offset, 2'' rear spacer, and 37'' tires
I NEED OPINIONS. Ima bad decision maker lol

that truck is MEAN. Wow im jelous, great job! How much did everythig cost ya including the small things if you dont mind me asking? Also do you have a locker or posi in the rear?
ps; if this were my truck i would make some kind of bumper/protector for the fromt spring shackles. wouldnt wanna spend all the time making them to get crunched by some jerk off (probably wont even budge but i like to be sure)

Man your giving me all kinda ideas lol I agree, I think it would look sick with the chrome powder coated to match everything els black. And you think I could clear 37's?? This is my first 4 wheel drive, it looks to me like I could step up a size and fill the fender wells
It looks like to me 37s would clear easily and would look damn good. That is the tire size I want on mine as well but on a 20" wheel. It should look pretty sick! I am actually going a lil darker of a blue than you have or maybe even black and then I plan on powercoating all the diamond plate and even the stacks black. I also plan on blacking out my headlights, taillights, and even my clear corner lenses too. The clear corner lenses will look way better blacked out than the stock orange ones. I think the orange under it would look a lil crappy. Lol. Iirc the place I got my clear corner lenses from sell them for your truck as well. I can get you the website if you are interested. But either way, good job on your truck! It looks really good!
