    I think both size tires look good, is that more than 3" in the front??
    I'm wondering because I'm about to put 886 in the front and dakars in the back and looking for a tire size. My 17" fj steels are at the powdercoater and damn if I thought I was gonna be the first with white. Our trucks will end up looking like twins except mine is access cab.

    The OE shank style lugnuts are tapered at the end to accommodate the steel spare wheel. They are perfectly safe to use....but just look a bit funny sticking out that far.

    Find yourself some acorn/tapered style nuts. They're available just about anywhere and are not expensive.

    I believe the size is 12x1.50

    Ideally it should look something like this. I had chrome....but these are available in other colors.

    I was running spacers. It was minimal, trimmed some plastic. For trail riding I was fine. If was wheeling harder alot i would had to do little more aggressive trimming

    They're basic 16x8 D-Window steelies. I found them at a junkyard on a Chevy Tahoe. They required wheel spacers to clear the brake caliper.

    What size spacer?

    I'm trying to broaden my search for uber cheap steelies. I like those a lot.

    I have 1.5" spacers, but 1.25" should work. :thumbsup:

    Do you have a shot from the front? I'm just thinking that those wheels are most likely 3.75-4" BS like most of those D-window Pro Comps are and 1.5" spacers they must really stick out. Am I wrong?

    I'll snap one in a bit. Yes, they do stick out quite a bit.
