i have 315's on mine and only had to shim it for the plow to clear in the winter only shimmed it 1/2"! buy four longer boltes and nuts and washers and four nuts two sizes up from them and use them as spacers works great! oh ya p.s. make sure the nuts you use to tighten them up are locking nuts or they will back off my first mistake I made.

No thats not paint they are black plastic lug covers this truck didn,t come with Alcoa rims the PO put them on and they had a different center cap than the stock ford ones the lugs have threads on the outside so a cap can be screwed on the plastic covers are from a GM dually the original ones broke and Alcoa doesn,t make them any more they are supposed to be chrome

Thanks

If your askin me. No, not yet looks like it will be next weekend at the earliest now. Im waiting on some money to come and headquarters (AKA wife) vetoed the use of other funds. I hate waiting on other people. I have a guy that is holding me up on my lights also. If something dont give soon im gonna hire some big Itialin guy named Vinny to brake some kneecaps...LOL. Hopefully I will have the lights monday night/tuesday and the tires by next week.
