New Shoes.....Finally

Finally got my wheels and tires. Seems like I've been waiting forever.
Before:

After with 33/10.5/15 BFG AT KO on 15x8 Cragar Soft 8 steel wheels:

 

wow. those are nice. i like

 

Thankyou, I had been waiting since November to get these. It's funny, the 1st thing my son said was "daddy, you have to go offroading now."

 

i like the red/black thing you have going on......

 

Those look great, you're going to love them !!

 

Nice.... makes your Taco look BAD.... thats in a good way...hahaha

 

So do I. Time to put black wheels on the wish list!

 

If I paint the truck (which I'm not), I'll rhino line the whole damn thing.

 

looking good,t4l!! i guarantee you like the ride now!!! wheels look awesome!!

 

yeah, i agree, looks great! how is the ride compared to the old tires and rims

 

Will those fit on 05-08's?

 

i love the blck rims, they look good, i got osme on my 1st gen taco love them.....black is so much better practical than chrome

 

man they are ugly....lol jk glad to see you went with the proffesionals(me) suggestion

 

oh and a 0.99 can of glos black will help those center caps stand out in a crowd LOL

 

The ride is definately different. I gotta play with the air pressure a bit. Today is the first day I really drove it anywhere, I posted the pics right after I installed them last night.

No, they won't, the brakes are too big on the 2nd gens to fit 15" wheels. Perhaps the same wheel in a 16" or 17" would work.

If I wanted black caps, I woulda bought them. I really like the contrast of the chrome against the black. Gotta have a little bling!

 

Unfortunately, due to some minor rubbing, I'm gonna have to lose the front mud flaps. It's a shame too, they did they're job well. Tonight, I'll get rid of them and do the pinch weld mod.

 

so is the ride better or worse?

 

Hard to say. It was rough at first, but the tire shop filled the tires to 50 psi. I dropped them down to 40 and it was an improvement. Steering has changed a little bit, I gotta put a little more effort into it. Don't know if there is anything I can do about that. My brake pedal seems firmer now, but it may just be coincidence. I think right now I'm hypersensitive towards the wheels and tires. I need to get used to them. Havn't had a chance to get them offroad yet.
