Northern KY or Cincinnati trucks???

i hear ya!

I was just checking those out on tirerack. they look a lot more aggressive in person. they aren't crazy expensive either.

 

100 pages!

 

Are they gonna close this after 100 full pages?

 

Good question!

 

Never thought that it would make it this far!!!!


Why would it get closed?

 

Who wants to be the designated "new thread maker" if this one gets shut down. So we know who to look for

 

^ Since I did the last one, Ill do the next one. I dont understand why it would get shut down since its over 100?

 

Well lets keep posting and see what happens! I have seen other forums go over 100 before.

 

Damn I was hoping to be the one that broke 100 pages.

Oh well maybe when we break 200....

I don't think they close down the thread after 100. I've see some that are close to 1000 on here.

 

I was checking out tirerack and the prices are cheap, but they get ya in the shipping!!! Wow, shipping charges are crazy!!!

 

Painted the center caps and picked up some "Storm Grey" paint for the wheels as well. Turned out pretty well, getting much better using a paint can.

Hopefully the wheels turn out something around this color below.

 

Looks good, you'll have to post some pic up of the wheels. I'm interested as to see how they will turn out!

Yeah you think your getting a great deal and then add the shipping charges and wow... Forget that good deal!

 

I didn't look at shipping prices lol

 

They look quite dumb on the stock steelies. I'm won't be driving around like that, can said something about 7 days. They'll be on top of my TV for a week. They might look a little better when I get the wheels painted. I do like the look of the truck without the caps, so I might just leave them off in the end.

Does anyone have photoshop? If someone does, could they take one of these pics and color in the rim in a dark grey color, pretty please?

 

Ha I'll keep that in mind. I'd like to get my hands on one of these...

Do you ever get up to the British car show they have in Harbin park each year?

 

the FJ wheels will come with slightly longer lugnuts than the stock TRDs...but either work for either wheel. i have my FJ lugnuts on my stock TRD wheels right now b/c i forgot to bring the originals with me last time i swapped...i think the longer ones look better on the stock wheels anyways. the lugs are longer due to the deeper throat on the FJTRD wheels. i am not really sure about the TPMS sensors, as i never switched...i run two sets of wheels/tires depeding on season and one or the other would have to go without, so i kept them in the stock wheels. i wouldn't see why they wouldnt work, but you may want to do some investigating.

265-75-16 on both my sets. absolutely no rubbing issues. everyone wants 285s, but i didnt want to deal with cutting fenders and chopping the cab mount for an extra 1/2" of ground clearance. they are just a tad bit wide for the stock wheels, but fit very nicely on the FJs. the FJs will also stick out about another 1/2" farther than stock, but the mud flaps are wide enough to still cover them.

the tire decision: it's about like the infamous "what's the best oil?" question. you will get 50 different answers from 50 different people. my personal favorite is BFG MT KM originals. i have been running them on various trucks since i got my license...they are freakin awesome for traction and mileage. they are no longer available as far as i know now. i bought a set of duratracs this spring to replace the rugged fails on my stock rims to be used as winter tires. the prices have gone up on them. when i bought mine they were like $159 ea at discount tire and i got a $100 rebate from goodyear by joining up with TreadLightly so i made out like a bandit. hopefully, i won't have to buy any tires for another two years. im in a real pickle about what to replace the BFGs with when they finally wear out. i have been thinking about going all out and getting some swamper radials i don't know if i can hadle them singing though. the BFGs are loud, but swampers are just plain annoying on a long highway ride...but they do look friggin' awesome.

Even with shipping my tires cost less then any other place I could find online or local.
