Stealth Custom Series F5 * Photo thread *

16x8 3.5bs -25mm offset 285/75/16 Cooper st maxx tires.

Lift is an old man emu bp-51 complete kit. Netting about 2.5” up front. I am running spc adjustable uca’s and have my wheel pushed very far forward.

Was only rubbing plastics and after some minor trimming and I’m no longer rubbing.

no CMC yet, but I may or may not need it in the future. I Stress tested flex by jacking up the opposite sides of the truck and turning and it just barely and I mean barely touches the cab mount at about 3/4 turn, and only while fully flexed.

Everything I’ve read was that I’ll still need a cmc with this wheel, but with the spc uppers allowing me to move my wheel forward. I’m not so sure quite yet.

 

They looked like 265s but wasnt 100%. Looks great and will look even better with the larger tires.

 

What's your caster at? I'm collecting notes for when I get a lift and 285s a little further down the road.

 

Driving and flexing is a different situation. The movement adds more force than stagnant pressure. I would definitely knock it out sooner than later, in addition to hammering the pinch weld if you plan on doing ANY trail driving. Just pulling into my parking lot made me rub the pinch weld and opposite cab mount.

 

I did a self alignment with fishing line and a level so far. Not sure what it’s at but based on others I’d have to guess right around 3~4 range.

I’m maxed out on lower control arms for caster to push my wheel as far forward as possible and spc uca is in position D. I may move uca to pos E before I cmc if it rubs and still should have 1-2 pos caster and more clearance.

I set camber with a level and toe with fishing line jack stands and a tape measure and it’s driving real nice.

 

I’ve been thinking about this. I’m curious, Are you running spc uca’s?

 

Indeed. Same wheel with beefier tires. I ended up cutting most of the front plastic, too. 285/75/16

 

right on. I deff had to cut some of the front plastic. I was able to move the front plastic fender liner forward some and may try more with a heat gun before I cut some more. I’ll see.

are your lca’s maxed out for caster? What position is your spc uca? D or E? Looks nice. I love the snow.

 

I’m at C because I was rubbing the front so much. Any more and I’d have to rub the fender with a sledge. I ended up molding the rear liner back, but I’m having trouble keeping it in place. I might get rid of it and seal the metal entirely with 3M. What are your plans for the truck?

 

finishing up installing 5.29’s Tommorrow. Lockers front and rear. I tow a small Rpod travel trailer when I take the family camping and wanted more power for that. Eventually full skids and get into more off-roading but mainly a daily driver/snowmobile trailer/travel trailer hauler for now.

You got me. Was dead set on Method 701s but just pulled the trigger on these SCS in black 16x8. My truck is cement and these look bad ass. Feel like it’s an old school look and love the light weight.

 

Lots of side shots, but anyone with a 3rd gen, 33s, and the 16x8 -25 set up that can get some rear shots to show how much poke you get with that set up?

 

Picked mine up today. Really good looking wheel, pictures online don’t do them justice. Too bad they’ll need to sit in the garage a few months until winter’s over.

 

Nice, they really do hit different when opening a box opposed to viewing a photo online.

Dont worry, mine sat for six months while I saved up for the tires.

​

 

yeah, that’s why I don’t mind too much, few months break between the wheels and rubber.

 

What tires you looking at getting?

 

265/75-16 ridge grapplers

 

Hell yes, good choice

 

My truck seeing it’s first snow and still has its Hawai’i license plates on. Haven’t driven it since November 19th.
