Thanks! They weren't my first choice but they look great. Wasn't a fan of the old 16.5's.
Went with a 17in rim to enhance my options in today's tire market...and to clear the calipers.
P.S...i tried a set of 16s....no joy .

Good morning Washington.

F350 Ken, That is a good looking F350!

Big Ken, The Beer Naked Brewery looks like a nice place, as you said the view looks awesome!

It's been miserably HOT during the day, and darn it but the smoke rolls in at night and we still can't open the house up. Last night it cooled off pretty nice to a low of 72° but very smoky.

Merry Monday afternoon Washington, Tim, Ken, Wayne, Ken, Steve and all the crew on this another blistering day. Started the morning on a comfortable side at 69° after yesterday evenings brief storm. But it didn't last long and by 1000 we were at 83° Headed to 98° so the Soothsayers say. Bright hot blistering sun and high humidity.
Like Ken, it's too hot for anything outside and sense I don't have a garage, I will spend time in the Man Cave. Nice F350!

Tim, hope you had a great weekend and played in the shop!

Evening Tim and Ken and Big Ken and Rod. These hot days are challenging. I hope to play around in the shop tomorrow before it gets warm but time will tell.
