285/70 w/ATX Artillery wheels!CHECK IT

ATX Artillery 17x9 -12mm offset 4.52"backspacing
285/70R17
I finally took the plunge today; went to discount and bought this junk. I paid $140 a wheel 17" and $200 bucks a tire... eh, I cut down 6bucks a tire originally was 206. Lug bolts and nuts for free, installation about 55 and lifetime warranty (i destroy tires real good) that was 30 bucks a tire.
Basically 1600 out the door. OUCH!!! whatever, I'm gonna love these badboys. I tried on a 16" 285/75 tire just to see how bad it would rub at the shop, looks like just plastic when turning so I'll just cut it out. I know, on full compression i'll be hitting some frame but I have a plan to remedy that issue!

Of course none of this stuff is in stock right now so its on order, will arrive friday or monday.

The wheels are ATX Artillery teflon, a relatively new wheel from american racing. Tires were recommended by RelentlessTaco (where is that guy!) he randomely suggested them and after researching this tire thoroughly I'm confident that I bought an EXCELLENT premium tire. The Hankook Dynapro ATM RF10 is also relatively new to the market. I've had nitto TG's and BFG A/T's and I think this will be a really different and cool tire to try out.

NO WORRIES: pics freakin galore when I get them... till now this is my teaser

 

sounds awsome,i like the wheels.good luck.

 

awesome, can't wait to see your truck again. would like to see how bad the 285's rub, what do you have the 5100's set at, 2.5.

 

yezzir, billies at 2.5"... however, I just bought a set of second hand 2.5 SAWS that i'll set at 3" They need to be revalved and set to my truck; came off a 4x4 taco at 2" of lift. The guy threw in the sway away sway bar too so no need for relocator brackets. It never ends... then I'm gonna get an AFE intake cause i'm sure these tires will take the power a bit.

dude you've got a rediculous amount of 'lightege' in the front there; bet that comes in handy... i know i sure could use some extra lighting

 

you will like the saw's, i've had them for a few months now and love them, going to go long travel soon so good bye to the 2.5's.

 

who's long travel are you going with?

 

Damn ben you got the mod bug like crazy, im getting my kings rebuilt sending them off today. And bajamoon i hate you!! Your gonna gey rid of a brand new front end suspension, lucky man

 

i'm going camburg, my wife hates me too for spending so much money on this damn money pit.

 

Thats gonna be a sweet setup bajamoon

 

dude I've always had the bug, it bit me a long time ago; just got the funds right now to access the beauty.

Gettin them kings revalved? nice.

 

Ooo yes that's the one I want too; pricey no doubt. You gonna keep the TC UCA's? I'm not sure if they go w/ the Camburg spindle which is like a grand by itself, ouch!...

 

tc uca's are going in the for sale section with the coilovers, can't use either one, both will be to short.

 

how much and where did you get those artillery wheels?

 

back from the dead thread. Read the 1st post. btw I sold the rims a couple years ago, went a different route
