new wheels and tires

went out and took the plunge on some new wheels and tires because I didn't like the blingy 20's the PO put on there and buying new 35" wheels on 20"s is uber expensive sooo....
I got some moto metal 951's 17x9" (same wheels as f150 on 22's truck) and wrapped them in super swamper trxus m/t's 35x12.5" tires. I bought them at 4 wheel parts and had them mount them. They told me it would rub and I needed to get a 6" lift put on for them to fit properly (they did rub pretty bad) but I told them I have a sawz-all Needless to say a lil bit of trimming to the back part of the fenders and magic.. no more rubbing.
so here's some pics.. enjoy. I know I do
Also new to my truck is an n fab nerf bar stepsides also bought from 4wheel parts.

Thanks guys!!

I've never owned swamper's till now and I gotta say they really don't run as rough as I thought. The amount of noise is maybe just a tad bit more than what the toyo open country a/t's I had previously made. I like getting my truck dirty and taking it off roading. I work at drilling rigs around Texas and sometimes Louisiana and some of the lease roads to the rigs can get pretty nasty so m/t tires seemed like the natural choice
