New wheels and shoes installed with pics!

Tires finally came in last week, so had them installed on my new Pacer wheels yesterday. The wheels are Pacer 164P's, 16x8" with 4.25" of backspacing and -6mm offset. Tires are the new Fierce/Kelly Attitude M/T's in the 285/75 16 flavor. There's enough clearance to run 305's with these wheels. The tires ride great and are not noisy, which is surprising. Since there aren't many reviews online about the tires, I'll post something up as soon as I get some miles on 'em. Enough blabbering...on to the pics!

Yeah, those tires look good, kind of like a MTZ. Is that barbed wire on the sidewall?
Definitely let us know how they hold up once you get some miles on them.

Looks good, sounds like that backspacing worked out well. I haven't seen many of those tires around, but when I do, they sure catch my eye.

I think the center caps of the Pacer wheels being so large has something to do with the hub diameter of our rigs, although I'm not 100% sure. I've see these same wheels on a Jeep and their caps are much smaller.

Do you mean the tires look small? The measure 33.1" tall with a section width of 11.3". They're about 1/2" taller diameter wise than my A/T's were when I replaced them. With that said, I'll try to get a distance shot and add it here too...was snowing here this morning or I would've already gotten it.

I like that swiss cheese rim look

those tires I am not familiar with but those look nice for good tread clearing

I think he might have been talking about the hub caps. Looks good man, I've never seen those tires before. I might have take a look at investing in a set of those

Yeah, I thought that too at first. Fierce is actually the brand name; a sub brand of Kelly/Goodyear. Attitude M/T is the model of the tire. I'll be doing some muddy wheeling with them this weekend, so we'll see how fierce they actually are.

So, I took the 4Runner out yesterday and played in some slick mud for about an hour. The Attitude M/T's performed better than I expected. Even in two wheel drive, I didn't get stuck and didn't need to air down either. They clean out amazingly well and the sidewall tread definitely helps the process. These tires do very well and I'm looking forward to putting them more tests soon. Sorry, I was alone, so no action shots, but here's one of the full vehicle with the tires and wheels that was requested earlier.
