Freeky,
I love the look, that's what I want on my standard bed '04. So your wheels are 4.5 backspacing and 10" rims. Is that backspacing supposed to be bad or something? What are the details on the mickey thompson tires? You said the tires are good on the road? Does that mean they're smooth and not loud or what? Got any idea how many miles you might be able to put on them? I'm not familiar with off road tires much. I was thinking about getting the nitto mud grapplers, are your tires better?

They look great...thats the exact look I would want if I had had a 4x4. The offset you have looks great on a 4x4, but would look cheese on a 4x2 with street tires. I am not sure I would lift it, it looks just right like it is, but if you do I hope you go with bigger tires.
Also...the tires and wheels on my 03 Jeep Sahra stick out about the same. Waite till you drive it in the rain and it throws rooster tails 20ft in the air!

Just be careful ordering wheels and tires from http://www.onlinetires.com because they mounted the tires, but they DID NOT BALANCE THE TIRES! I took the truck to NTB and got them balanced. NTB was the only shop I could find that would balance these large tires. They wanted $17.99 per tire for a single balance or $22.99 per tire for lifetime balance and rotation. I went ahead and got the lifetime balance and rotation, but it was still an extra $106.50 that I had not planned on spending right away. I will be getting these puppies rotated and balanced every 5000 miles...like clockwork!
