No, it's been a cluster f*$k trying to get these. The original local place I bought them from ordered the wrong tires. 2 weeks later they still hadn't even sent the old tires back! At that point I canceled the order. Last week I put a new order in through an Ebay seller. The tires were in stock, and they said they would have the wheels from the manufacturer very quickly. Almost a week later, and they haven't even shipped yet. Next week I'm going in for surgery to donate one of my kidney's, so more than likely these wheels won't be going on for at least a few weeks after that..... I've never had such a problem getting a set of wheels and tires put on!

Oh wow man that stinks. Just thought I would check. Oh yeah, good luck on the surgery. Sounds like a big deal and you must be really helping someone out.

Thank you! I'll definitely post pics up once the wheels are installed.

I was going to tell you to get the +20. I'm having 35x12.5x17's put on a 17x9 +18 offset wheel this Friday. I'll post pics so you can see how far they stick out. My buddy has a 0 offset with his 35x12.5x17 and level (17x8.5 wheel), they stick out more than an inch... in case you haven't had your mind set on what you want once you recover from surgery.

Thank you for the picture, that's very helpful. I did end up ordering the +1 offset. I might end up adding bushwacker fenders as well, so I think the +1 should look pretty good . Going in for surgery Wednesday, and I'll post back in a couple of weeks....

Good luck with your surgery. Your truck will still be there when you recover.
