Got the ol girl some new shoes! (PICS)

I've been wanting a wheel/tire setup for several years now ever since I got my first f250 ECSB. Once I got this CCSB Diesel I couldn't wait any longer I'm so psyched that I finally got them!!!!! It makes such a huge difference in how the truck looks I absolutely love it.

I'll be adding some type of leveling kit in the near future. (after I do a coolant flush & replace the body mount bushings)

Whatcha think?

Very nice truck. I could take both ways as it looks pretty Sweet with either set.
Glad you're happy as I'm sure it cost a few green ones.

Awesome choice of rims. Are those grappler skis?
We recently installed AE rims that look similar to yours, on the sons truck. His is all black and gets compliments on it all the time. His next step would be some Nitto grapplers or something with an aggresive sidewall. The two inch leveling kit made a big difference in appearance but takes a small step ladder to get in the cab.

Actually they are Mickey Thompspn ATZ's

I really really didn't want a M/T tire. Love the BFG A/T but holy cow batman they are $$$. A buddy of mine ran these tires on his truck, they look like a mud terrain but are WAY quieter. Plus he has 40k on them now and they still look great. So I took the plunge

I agree I did love the truck the way it looked before, its just now I'm obsessed!

The old wheels will be up fore sale soon. They have brand new tires on them also

I like to get rims and tires, but I'm old sckool.........I like CHROME. Moto Metal 951 was looking good to me. But once I do that it's going to open a new can of worms on the direction of the truck and I don't want /can't afford to yet. What size tire did ya go with?

Ha yeah I completely understand. I knew that was the can I wanted to open from the beginning which is why I bought a truck that had already been studded and deleted. I honestly like chrome too it's just I've always wanted to try a black on black look. Next truck prob won't be black, so hard to keep clean

The tires are 35x12.50

Oh man that looks nice. I'd get rid of the badges and remove all traces of chrome from the truck.

The 6.0 is loud enough you don't need the badges to advertise that you've got a diesel!
