Got the rims/tires.... take a look! (56K beware)

junior3382 · 02-12-2009, 04:33 PM

Okay, I have been flying on cloud nine all day! These things were tight, and I mean almost needed to shave the front bumper for turning, BUT the good news, you can fit 307/70/17's on this truck stock! And these tires are QUIET on the road, and throw good chunks in the mud! yes, I did try it already... I mean come on... i had to, i have 34" tires now! LMAO....

anyways, take a look and let me know what y'all think. Rims make all the difference in the world and NOW this is a real pissed off looking F250!

And while I was out there, I did a little playing and a little flexing... and even compressed in the front... still, NO RUB! cool huh?!?!

then I washed it up and cleaned them up nice!

So, what do y'all think?

Ya really don't need a lift kit for that truck, but I have heard bigger is better

. Looks good, like the style of wheel you picked.

bradrhale · 02-12-2009, 05:34 PM

very nice wheels. makes me want a set.

junior3382 · 02-12-2009, 05:47 PM

haha... well I think the simulated beadlock and the two toned black on chrome make them the best choice I could have gotten. I have both black and chrome trim through out my truck...LOL...

And yeah KennyRay... seems the stock height was more then enough! I may not lift it further but we never know. The rear end still sags a little, so I may level that out later, but for now... just the braggin rights lone to say the size tires I cleared stock is cool! LMAO

Wow, really changed the look of your truck

I like it!

I actually saw a set of those exact same tires on an 07/08 F150 just yesterday, I stopped and took a closer look (Yes I was in a parking lot, not the road lol) since I liked the looks of the tread pattern and overall aggressive appearance and demeanor of them. I'm thinkin they might look nice on my cheby too. You say they ride really nice then? I'm not looking to sacrifice any level of ride quality and handling, but that's just me. I'm going to price them out now.

Looks like a different truck perfect combo on tires/rims and I also agree it looks good at the height it is now no need for a lift kit. Congrats it sure looks good.

yeah the ride is smoother then it was before actually.... but I think that is the weight of the tires as much as the tires themselves. I definitely noticed less wheel hop with these over potholes and whatnot.... And these tires are quiet....LOL.... I am not sure how well the rims would look smaller then 17" due to the simluated beadlock beadlock, but to each their own. I actually was surprized at the amount of rubber I had showing on these wheels considering I went larger on rims then normal... but I think they compliment eachother perfectly... like one of those accidents that happens to fall in line perfectly! LMAO
