My new wheels and tires!

I got these from www.desertrat.com in there tire wheel package section. They are 31/10.5/15 bfgoodrich a/t on black steelies. At first they didnt fit because the rim rubbed on the brake caliper, so I added 1/4" spacers to the front, and the rubbing is gone. We also did some trimming of the front wheel well.

Looks awesome man! I like the black on white look. I thought about black rims when I got mine, but didn't think it would look good... Now I know. Might have to get me a set down the road.

Oh, the white lettering is easy to keep white. Use some orange cleaner or bleach and hit them with the green side of a scotch-brite pad.

My Yoko Geolandars stick out the same as those tires and w/o flares you'll throw everything all over the sides of your truck;I got some Bushwackers that'll be on next Sunday and I can't wait cause it's a pain keeping the truck clean without them.
I also like the white lettering out;my Yoks are about 11 months old and the lettering still looks new. (I clean the tires about once a month)

payyourtoll- Not sure if they are balanced correctly because at high speeds the steering wheel does shimmy a little bit, but that could also be the cause of the 1/4" wheel spacers

rpeAMP What's the backspacing on those?
I think the backspacing is 3.25 or 3.75

I have never had a problem with keeping my white letters clean. I use Westley's Bleach white.
