Hey Boyd, didn't you do a write-up on how to pull the carpet and all out of your truck?

Get the rockers and neither of your wheel choices. Those steel wheels dent and bend far too easily.

I wanted to stay away for the steel honestly, but AT $78 a wheel, it's hard to say no.....


I would love to find a set of cheaper 16" alloys with 4" B.S. but I havn't came across a set.

I say bead locks wit pitbulls but check if will rub on caliper. The wheeler rim is tested on tacos.

The beadlocks will rub, I'm about 99% sure they will. But should be able to fix with light grinding with a flap disc. If I go with them I'll buy one and test fit to see.

x2.. those Allied beadlocks fold up on rocks. A friend has a set and he's always pounding them back into shape. Had to get 2 new rings recently as well.

Curious why 16s not a very good selection of tires in the 16" range for larger sizes.

A few reasons........to get a little more tire than wheel, to be able to run the Creepy Crawlers if I wanted too, and cheaper tires overall. Also there's just as much market for 35" tire sizes for a 16" wheel than there are for 17".

Well, like your FabBook page says, "Spent too much on the truck this year!" Go big!

The recovery is right around the corner.




Well okay after another big crash. But at least you will be able to escape!

Lol, if I could fin a used set in 16" then I would be on them.

Good to know, *marks them off list

Plans might change also.......guy just let me know he would sell me these super cheap. 35x12.50x17

 

[Jandrews]

I'm eyeballing 285/75/17 KM2s myself for my next set, to try my hand at 34" pizza cutters. Move up to a bonafide 35" when I'm ready to start cutting fenders.

just buy the vehicle instead

 

[Lrgrnr]

I just want the tires. But seriously I'd be stupid to pass it up, they're in TX also.


But damn I don't want KM2's, but I guess they'll work for a while, until I slice one open.
