Waiting for online parts...can't sleep...

So I broke down and decided to by my 4runner a gift. Its been good to me for so long that Im going to drop some money into it. Last week I bought black steelies (15x7), Old Man Emu 901 hd coils, 1.5" BJ spacers, 32x11.5x15 Kumho MT tires all online. Most of the the stuff should be here anyday, but the coils are gonna be another week or so from Rocky Road Outfitters.. anyways. Im freakin excited because Im fairly new to this site even though Ive had my 92 4 runner for a while now and decided to take off the running boards, fender trim.. and its like Why didnt I do that before? I guess I will keep my self busy with putting in a new timing belt/water pump/plugs/wires until the goodies come. Now I just have to convince the wife that I needed a lift and mudders on a vehicle with 275,000 miles. She probably wont even notice. I'll just tell her that I cleaned it up a bit. Will be posting pics when its all on.

Good deal... should look sharp....

Why did you go with 15x7's for an 11.5" wide tire. My buddy back home runs 32x11.50's on his stock 15x7's, but he cant go very high on tire pressure or he only runs on the center....

I dont like my stock wheels. They seem to stick. I even put some anti-seize between the rim and the hub last time I rotated them but had to bang a wheel off with a sledge when I got a flat. I gave everyone at my shop a try to yank it off, but it wasnt gonna budge. I get some vibration over 50 mph and maybe that helps to seat the alum. rim to the hub. Not sure really. Hope the vibration was from my tires being out of round (they are cupped pretty bad) and my new set up feels a little smoother on the road. As smooth as mud terrains can feel at least.
