New Wheels/Tires and Level (Lots of Pics)!!!

Just got them installed. 1.5" ProComp level, 20x9 Fuel Hostage wheels (black and machined), and 305/55/20 Goodyear DuraTrac's (33"x12"). I like it!

Black FX4 grill is going on next to round out the black/white theme. Still don't know what I will do about the chrome bumpers and side steps. They seem to fit well with the wheels.

I like the white and chrome. I think those rims have too much machine polish color to them to go for a white and black theme.

I agree with ruffn-it and ill be the first to admit I don't like chrome. I love those wheels, truck looks great. I say keep the chrome grill, bumpers, steps.

Where are you at in KS?

Very nice I am looking into doing the same with my truck soon. I like the way the tires do not stick out too far. What is the backspacing and or offset for the wheels??

I really like how your truck is looking. White chrome and blackis great. Your wheel choice really continued the theme. On your grill, I would leave the bold chrome front but the background of the rectangular squares I would suggest painting them FLAT BLACK. Good luck and keep us posted.

Thanks for the comments! Consensus seems to be keep the chrome bumpers and steps so I think I will for a bit. Still don't know about the grill.

I'll get some tonight or tomorrow night and post them. I know a lot of people don't like the 1/2 tons with clearance lights, but I really dig the look. It helps round out the look (in my opinion).

x2 on the cab lights, i didnt notice it at first. Are those from a superduty and did you order it that way, i actually like it.

Because of your wheels, keep the chrome, makes it tie together now.

good job!

Beautiful, Thanks for close up pics!!! I too was looking at the 1.5" level just so the slight rake is still there (may help fuel mileage??). Thanks for helping me make my mind up.
