Well that's probably mostly due to you removing the lower valence. But that's good to hear! My last truck had 3.73's so I wasn't concerned going to 35's

Although, I'm no longer a fan of White Letters on Tires or White Walled Tires (Remember Doughnut Walls) on yer truck it looks great. I like the way it ties in with the color of yer truck.

Have ya considered experimenting with the center caps. It's another way to help tie in the look you have going on with yer truck? You could purchase a can of White Plasti-Dip, remove two caps on one side, paint em, put back on and shoot some pics to see how ya like with & without. If ya liked it then ya could get them painted with the good stuff-->

Thank you! Yeah I love plasti dip, but I like the center caps black. It's really that fake beadlock/bolt thing they have that bugs me, but there's nothing really I can do about that.

Same here, on my fake bead lock bolts, I may end up having them powered coated silver or find replacement machined to match the wheels...In yer case, I would powder coat them black.

I will probably paint them black myself, deal with it as is, or go back to factory wheels. But for now, I'm just going to leave it.

That's my problem with that majority of truck aftermarket wheels. Not a lot off good looking, IMO, non-off road look wheels.
There are a few of the more off-road looking wheels that I like the look of, but hate that they're covered in bolts on the face/rim/spokes/centercaps/etc.

Yep...I didn't find one wheel that I said to myself the second I saw it "You're the one, I'm done looking" instead, I had to settle on which one is the least Ugly to my eyes-->
