New wheels & tires

I've had the rims for about a month now, finally decided on what tire and size. I still need to install my Bilstein's. I'll do that in the next couple of days.

Here ya go. No rubbing that I've found yet.

2010 Raptor wheel with Nitto Terra Grappler 295/70/17

I've thought about pulling them and painting them black, but you gave me a good idea.

I like the Raptor graphics, but I don't think I could pull them off with a flareside bed. Besides, I'm not trying to make a Raptor clone.

The FX4 stickers are staying though.

They are only 17's. The ride is MUCH better than my factory 20's.

These look much better, IMO. I've only seen these on 2 other trucks.

I think the 17's with the 295's look perfect. A true off road look. I hate large wheels with low profile off road all or mud terrains. Defeats the purpose and look stupid.
