Wow, those look really nice and sit perfectly. Nice job.

I have stock FX wheels with 33x12.5 Grapplers on a 4" lift - no spacers. (FX4)

Will be getting 35x11.5 in several months with new wheels as well. Might consider skipping the new wheels and just get the rubber.

Looks real good on yours.

Decisions, decisions.

1.5" level. Was going to go with 1.5" spacers. 285/65/20 Trail Grapplers on stock 20" wheels. Anybody done this wheels size? Can I go bigger and not rub? Thanks!

I don't think I'd try and clean my brake rotor. I'd clean the part that the wheel mounts to, around the wheel studs, with a wire brush to nock the rust off. Then I'd coat it with never seize.

Good luck!

I'd also use locktite on my wheel studs

I would use blue locktite, red could potentially snap studs when you go to remove. Oh and don't confuse blue with green!
