    hey everyone! My tires finally came in yesterday so I went and got them mounted and installed quickly before the holiday.

    The rims are Ambit RS02, they're 18x9 in Matte Bronze. They're very similar looking to the Volk TE37 but much less expensive. I got all four on eBay for $550 shipped.

    Imo they're fantastic. Quality is very solid. The color is perfect and they are very light, maybe 20lbs each.

    The tires are Falken Wildpeak A/T 265/60/18 - they have a great aggressive look but also are super quite on the road (which is a major deal for me cause I drive around 1000+ miles a week for work)

    So here's some pics:

    P.S. Opinions needed please.
    My truck is not lifted (obviously) but I feel like the rear is lower than the front. It's got 3-leaf spring packs in the back so I'm pretty sure the TSB wasn't done and that's probably why. But I need the expert advice, I'd like to get it back to aggressive stance/stock look and rake. What would you recommend? Should I AAL or replace the whole pack or use a lift block? Thanks!

    Not sure if y'all can see the pics or not? They're only showing up as a link on my iPhone. Can a mod help me out with this please?

    What's the update on the wheels? Still like them? I'm looking at the same ones on eBay.

    Yes they are fantastic! They don't show dust/dirt barely at all, and I get compliments on them quite a bit.
    I've put about 7000 miles on them and they're solid.
    The tires are also awesome. I would definitely buy the wildpeak model again.
