    Yeah I ran the 265's on both 16x7 and 16x8 wheels, still looked small to me.

    To each their own, I love the way my 285's look. Perfect proportions IMO.

    just get wheel spacers like i did when i was on 10.5s. It will help the look a lot.

    But once you get a front bumper..gonna look ridiculous.

    Wheel spacers look redic with a front bumper? Care to elaborate? I have 265/75/16's on 16x8 with a 4.5"BS and am running 1" BORA's. I have an elite that I been waiting on....well....for a while. I'm not too concerned with it looking dumb...unless it's like retarded dumb.

    No.

    With a aftermarket bumper most of the wheel is shown. Smaller wheels looks SUPER tiny after a bumper.

    here.

    Stock bumpers. 31x10.5r15s with 1.5'' allpro spacers. Looks great.

    Nice choice. u might want to consider doing the shrouds in a diff color than black to give it some contrast. maybe the color of your truck. mine are black and Im gonna redo it and color match them. just my .02

    mine are wired as parking lights. its nice they turn off by themselves

    YUP!! hahaha, I got snaked on a pair last week that had 32s on it for $290 so this was the closest thing I could find haha.

    Since you happen to have an AC in lunar silver I'll give you my old camper if you want it as a "sorry-I-check-craigslist-every-20-minutes-looking-for-stuff-that-I-want-but-certainly-don't-need-but-NEED-to-have-at-that-price" gesture...

    I will do them on the parking lights at first and I'll see how it goes. I thought about painting the shroud silver to match the truck but I plan on repainting the truck down the road and don't want to have to redo them. All black will go with anything.. and looks badass :D
