Dont get me wrong, that truck is nice 1, but I dont like the fact that the tire in the back is pretty much under the running board, it kills the look of the truck. I do agree with you though that with the 20"s it doesn't look as good as it would with the 16"s, but thats why they call them mall crawlers.

I love the big tire stuffed in the wheelwell look quite a bit myself honestly. When they get this big though I think its acceptable to have em hang down, they're big enough in my opinion. I will likely end up going up to a 40"+ tire in a year or two as well as I'm never satisfied and kinda wnat to judge how the local cops are gonna react to what I have so far before I get too rediculous. I have room to grow and it still looks descent in my opinion, and it's kind of a toy anyway. Also I need to be bigger then my buddies F250 sitting on a 6" or so lift on 36's to start a fun lil game of one upsmanship.

i dont know why people hate on the big rim look so much, it looks really good IMO. the reason that black truck you posted doesnt look good is because the tread on those tires isnt aggressive enough for a tire of that size. just makes it look kinda wierd
I actually am running 38"x13 Michelin XML's on 16x8 Centerlines. Cut the back side of the front fender and a bit off of the back side of the front bumper. Going to add Bushwacker Cutouts that just came in the mail yesterday! It's my wife's ride and with three kids under 5, I wanted to keep the hight down. I love the no lift, big tire look! I think there are pictures in my profile.
How did you end up installing the Cut-Outs on the rear? Any pics?
Well, there not on yet. I am working on some things around the house first. When I get them done I will post a new thread with the front and rear installs if people are interested. I love the fronts on!

Definitely start a thread when you get them on. I'm particularly interested in how you carved around the back doors.

I am guessing you purchased the F250/350 bushwhacker flares...none made for excursion...right?
I have been wanting to do the same thing...scared to cut it...scared that I will need different rims again as mine will not put the wheel far enough to the outside as they are...i also looked into the XMLs as a former army troop...heavy tires though...I want 38s and no more lift...I love the look of big tires and no lift as the iceland crew does it...38x15s on a montero without lift....hot!!!
