Got the new wheels and meat on..what do you think?
Finally got the Motto MT700 wheels with 305/50/20 Nitto Terragrapplers! I have highlighted the "50" because this combination works and the 305/55/20 does not. The 50's do still rub slightly. This can be corrected by trimming the wheel well flares (I have not had a chance to trim them yet and I show pics in my gallery). The 305/55/20's would have ripped my flares right off and torn the s*** out of my wheel well. I only say this b/c I tried to do extensive research from all of the forums and could not get a straight answer. So for those of you researching the same combination, take heed to my information. At any rate, here is a pic. I have posted more in my gallery.

Looks great! If you had a wheel with a little more backspacing, or was slightly narrower, the 305/55-20's would have fit. Remember, wheel width and backspacing are as important as tire size when it comes to fitment. That's why people can run 35's on trucks like yours by using the OEM wheels.

Yeah, a 9" wheel would have worked perfectly. However, after living with this new setup now for the past couple of days, I love the width! Sure I have had to settle for a little shorter tire, but the tradeoff is worth it. I have gotten a lot of comments on it. Today was the first day I could clean it up since it has been raining since I put them on. I will post new pics, because it really shines now!!
