    Yep, stock suspension, no rubbing. I can't say if it would have rubbed on the stock mudflaps or not, because I had already remove them before I had these wheels and tires mounted.

    Thanks Vin! I'm really happy with how they turned out! Thanks again for your help when I was ordering the wheels!

    Can you run 255's with 3.5 backspacing if you have a 3" lift it is there too much rubbing?

    My truck isn't much to look at compared to most on here, but here's Barcelona Red with gloss black wheels. 265/70/16 tires, no lift.

    As already mentioned numerous times, Vin is awesome to work with, and the wheels are beautiful. They balanced up with no problems, and run super smooth.

    I haven't seen this mentioned before, and it's probably only noticeable to the 4cyl guys, but these wheels are so much lighter than stock that I can easily hold a taller gear on a hill now. On the highway, no more dropping into 4th for a long hill, and around town, even with a load, no need to drop into 3rd. It's a noticeable (and very welcome) difference.

    Haven't checked the mileage, but I'd imagine there's a slight improvement there as well.

    Agreed- weight difference is actually noticeable. I notice it on acceleration. Not huge difference, kinda like I have an extra 5lbs of air in tires.
    Disagree- with your statement that your truck is not much to look at. It's RED. Got great wheels. Mountainbike in back. 3/3 in coolness.

    Met up with Vin Wednesday to look at three colors in person. Super cool guy and great customer service. I chose the Matte Grey with 4.5BS and I couldn't be happier. Glad I went with these over the black. I'm running stock size 265/70/-6 Michelin ltx at2 tires and stock suspension at the moment. Only have this pic using my IPhone so far.

    Thanks again for the support Erik. I think you made the right choice with matte gray. You won't see a wheel in this finish on the streets too often.

    Jason has the older bronze which has more of a gold hue to it. The new bronze isn't as "goldish" and leans towards the "grayish" hue.
