Yep! Swap tires and wheels with me!

I bought mine as a quick fix, woke up one day and had 3 flats and it was $1000 for 3 tires or $1200 for what I have now. They're 17x8.5 with a 5.71 back spacing and a +25 offset with 285/70/17's. I just received my Autospring kit in the mail and when it's on I was going to go with an 18x9 with a lower offset but am just going to keep them now, they've grown on me.

Very nice!

Is the black/gray interior with brown seats a normal configuration?

Seems a little odd to me.

It's not necessarily gray, the pictures had a bit of sun reflection going on causing it to look grayer than it actually is. The seats are a brown/redish color, quite nice looking I must say... again looks better in person than it does in the pictures.

Will be changing the rear shocks to Bilstein HD shocks, will also be changing to a Michelin AT/2 10ply tire... gonna havta recalibrate the speedo.

Anybody have experience with the 2012's and plus size tires, it's a bit taller... any problems with rubbing?

Prime81, Very nice looking truck. Good luck with it. Let's see how your mileage with the ecoboost and the 3.73 gears does. Those 10 ply tires are gonna ride hard.

Here she is with the new tires, Absolutely no rubbing lock to lock. Currently running at 40 PSI, capable of running 80 PSI.

So far the ecoboost has been very nice, mileage I am consistently getting 19.5 at around 68 mph. Hauling my boat she gets 13-13.5mpg doing 60 mph. My tundra hauling the same boat was getting around 8-10mpg.

Michelin LTX AT2's, 275/65/20 Absolutely no rubbing, however the tire shop did say the 2wd version of the truck cant take these tires, the 4wd version however has no issues.

Will be purchasing a Bakflip Fibermax and Bakbox in the next week or two. Anybody got any input on these two products. I was originally going to go with the Undercover Flex, but I like the idea of the hidden toolbox.

Will be able to grab both the Fibermax and Bakbox for $950 and that's to my door.
