the guy originally installed them on my cadillac escalade ..... I took them off of there and installed them on my truck myself...

I wish I had paid the guy who originally installed them cause it was a job!

Its time consuming trying to work with the truck on the ground and being on a creeper ..... plus having all the parts, fittings, air line etc.....

I bought these ramps at advanced auto and they really helped....

 

So Gage any movement on this front? I think my plans have been put on the back burner again for a while

 

I might just order the wheels this year and get the tries in spring. Like you something came up again=(
~Gage~

 

Here ill help you guys fancy wheels look even better



Bfg rugged trail t/a 245/75/17!!!!!!!!!
Honestly a great tire; awesome in snow, great when towing, and very quiet. It does pickup small pebbles though which is sorta annoying. 25,000 on them and cant see hardly any wear yet.... But if they do wear out i want bfg all terrain t/a KO 285/70/17. They should fit on my rims right? At this rate it doesnt look like these will wear out anytime soon and im not paying 1000$ for new tires when these are perfectly fine- im way to cheap for that!

 

just bought my new 2001 f250 superduty 7.3 diesel!
these will be my winter wheels and tires but i need some opion on my old truck i have 18 in chrome rockstars and 35 in tires should i go black or stick with my chrome

 

Personally i would go chrome unless your going for the blacked out look. The bumpers and grille are chrome so it would match nice.

 

alright like i said, i already have the chrome ones they are pretty much brand new cause i have only had them for like 4 months but i wasn't sure if i had enough chrome for the rims to actually look good. couple of buddies were saying i didnt have enough chrome and i should just go with black.
thanks for imput monte

 

What do YOU prefer? That the only thing that really matters when it comes to these things. If one of your friends wants to buy you a set of tires and wheels, then their opinion would count a bit more.

 

LOL! Yes Dscabra, you are completely right! if they wanna dish out the thousand for a new set of rims ill give them more of the say on what to do but i will find out next summer because i have set the chrome rims and tires away and are just using the ones in the pic because i dont want my rims lookings bad or getting salt on them yay michigan....not

 

Yeah I agree. Run what you want, specially if you already have some. I enjoy being different or even against the grain sometimes. I went riding at a new spot yesterday and saw a guy running the same wheels I have. Bummer, even if they were on a Dodge.

 

By the way, the only chrome my truck has on it are the bumpers, grille, emblems and wheels and I think it looks just fine.

 

yes i agree about being different, hence its your truck and you payed the money so obviously do what you want i really want to just put my tires on and see how they look and post some pics maybe. (if i can get around to it) i do believe ill have to get a leveling kit again for the front cause they will rub,
on the plus side getting it lifted always makes it look good

 

Great looking truck. Did you have custom work performed by dealer prior to purchase or after market?

 

aftermarket, and also im getting ready to purchases 07 grill inseret and 05 headlight should spice it up alot

 

I agree it will spice up the front end a lot that is what i did with my truck and i love it. Btw i didn't realize you said you kept your old rims i thought you were in the market for new ones i miss read that post, in that case i agree with dscabra .
