I have a leveling kit on the truck. It is not an AS, however.

Yes, a little. I back up into parking spots most of the time anyway. What they kill the most is the gas mileage. I have gone from 13-14 MPG in the city to 11-12 MPG. Time to add the K&N FIPK that I just bought to try and get some of that MPG back!

Thanks!!

They look great!, Very nice truck!! Some bolt ons may help with added power to get them spinnin and perhaps a small MPG increase.

Cool

ok, i was looking at those rims myself. I have an 02 supercrew fx4. is that going to be enough backspacing for my truck to run a 33" tire on it? i love the combo you're using. I was going to use it with the toyo open country m/t's. If those are too little backspacing, what is an appropriate amount of backspacing to allow for 20x10's and 33 or 305/55's to fit under the fx4. I don't mind trimming a smidge. Thanks for the help

I ran a Google search which took me to Barretire.com. They are a dropshipper for these wheels I think. At any rate, they were the best price that I could find.

Honestly, I don't know much about the '02 FX4's. I'm just learning enough as I go about the '04's. Wandell, how about some help on this one?


......russ10screw.....just checked your post, looks like wandell answered your question already and I see that you have already pulled the trigger on your tire and wheel purchase. It looks awesome!!!

Looks Great!!! Nice choice.. Looking to do something similar. Can someone go further into the offset of the wheels?? I also think it would look great with 305/55's
