Love the truck! What's your backspacing? Any rubbing? Hmm, now I'm thinking 40x13.5's in the future...

Larry,

Is that a bump side? If so I may know someone that has the FORD part of it.

Nice junk indeed!

Love the colors, and though I'm not a fan of big tires, those ones make her look like one heck of a truck!

The wheels are Ultra Motorsport Rogues. They are 18x10's and the backspacing is 4.5". Here is the link to the technical specs:

I scored the tires from National Tire and Wheel on a blowout clearance for $250/each. I couldn't turn that deal down! They do not rub at all. I did trim the lower portion of the front fender as a precaution - but in hindsight probably could have got away with leaving it alone.

Thank you - I appreciate all of the replies and compliments. As you guys know - these things are a work in progress. The color combo on my truck was one of the first things that caught my eye. I have a long way to go, but feel like i have a pretty good start. The truck is solid - not a bad find for $1500 IMO. Of course, I have 3 times+ that into it now! (Don't tell my wife!).

I am planning on doing a power steering upgrade and fabricating a front winch bumper for it over the winter/spring. I will post up progress pics as I go. This forum is an awesome wealth of information, and has helped me out tons so far.

Thanks again -

Glenn
