Lol. My bad.

Look on tire rack or some name brand sites to get the actual measurements. Goodyear and cooper both give good measurements and rim sizes required.

that's awesome! Deer or what? Because I've been quite impressed with all the ducks I've seen in and around Abilene!

My favorite color! I'm with you on the whole smaller wheel with more sidewall. I have 35s on 18s right now but plan on moving up to 37s next summer.

I see you are asking what I would do, so based on what you seem like you like, I'd paint to match the fender flares, bottom part of the mirrors, black part of the f150 badges, and blue part of the ovals and putting some chrome 17s or 18s like some XD spy wheels. I normally don't vote for chrome but I think that would make for a gorgeous truck!

Can't wait to see some mods start! Thanks for your service!

how much lift do you have to run 37s?? I wanted to get them and I think they'd be really tight with just a 6" but everyone says only 35s will fit. On the badges I plan on replacing them with the ones that are black and light up red. But I have no clue when that will actually be. You think chrome looks better on this color than the black rims?? I'm kind of on the fence about it. I love the black with the machined parts on the rims though. I can't decide which rims I'm gonna go with either. I like the spy's but it seems like they're one of those sets of rims that a lot of people have. But I guess it's kinda hard to find a set of that look nice that aren't common. I appreciate that man!

I am going to be running Raptor takeoff suspension set to mid perch, with some custom fenders and bedsides an a custom bumper. That will allow me to clear the 37s. I currently have a 2.5" leveling kit with 35's so if you aren't scared to trim or remove the plastic parts under the bumper, then 37's should fit under a 6" lift no problem. I just started getting the Raptor parts in and I'm getting close to finishing the bumper. You can see it on my build thread.




I think the chrome brings out how deep and dark that red is. Black wheels make it look like every other truck out there, like mine. lol I mentioned the XD spys as an example. Most who get the spy's buy the black and machined though. Rarely do you see an actual set of XDs. Usually its a knock off brand. I really like these moto metals that are polished and machined. I got a buddy with them and the finish has been holding up great in a sal****er environment and they are beautiful!


On the badges... you don't think that bright red on the badges might clash with the dark red of your truck? They also make one that lights up white. Just a thought.

I plan on eventually taking my bottom bumper off and putting an nfab prerunner bar on it so trimming the plastic doesn't bother me. I actually hate the plastic under it. I plan on putting a level on top of my lift eventually so it shouldn't be a problem at all. The only thing I don't like about chrome is that they chip and pit. I had them on my last truck and it bothered me when they started messing up and didn't have the shine that they ought to have. Mainly my fault. I looked at that same series of rims. I really like the way they look but I don't know how they'll look in a 17. Most people have 20s now and I get picky on how rims look. I know some rims look great as a 20 but don't look so good as a 17. On the badge I like how they're black until you light them up. I'm not sure if they're controlled by a switch or just when you turn the lights on. I haven't looked at them that much I just think they look pretty neat

New rims came in today!
