Post the new pictures when you get the wheels. Will look good either way.
Will do. I am also 1/2 disappointed with my decision as I really love the look I just don't feel comfortable with spacers and if I don't use them with the 6" suspension lift it looks like the guy at the gym who skipped leg day lol.

They should be on in a couple weeks I will update then

Hi everyone I'm new to the Platinum Club and saw a pic from a while back on here with a blacked out tailgate trim piece with chrome looking letters that say Platinum on it. Anybody know how this was done or where I could order it?

Not sure on the wheels, they came with the truck, but best I can figure is a 20x9 with no idea on offset.

Went to do a lift this weekend and found a 2" block in the back and a puck in the front that seems to measure out to a 1.5" level.

Either way, the wheels/tires rub the liners currently. Crash bars were apparently removed by the prior owner already as well.

Not w 6". To me looks like he ran out of money before he could finish besides the wheels are too thin. Don't like the idea of spacers either.

I just couldn't find a wheel I liked at the time and I'm old and until recently was partial to the stock look. The width of OE wheel only being 8.5" and spacers are what made me find a wheel, it was nothing to do with money or the look of the OE wheel because I really like the look.

We're going to need some specs on that rig! Lift, tire and wheel size? Wheel Offset?
