Yeah I like those much better. What are they?

Give this site a try. Your stock 20's are +44mm offset and 8.5" wide. Then just enter the specs for the new wheels and it will tell you how much further they should stick out.

Thanks Chris! Heres what it turned back assuming I did everything right. Looks like with the 30mm ill be sticking out about .6" which sounds subtle but noticeable I think.

Im also starting to like the idea of the Toyo MT's. Only thing is they dont look like theyd handle the snow and wet roads quite as well as the duratracs, and they may also be louder. Here goes my tire research all over again.

Wow! I think those wheels with the Toyo's would look awesome. Good luck choosing!

I know I know. As badass as they look and as much as I'd like to just say f it, I just don't think they're practical for the amount of mileage I do. And I hear great things about them and all, and I will likely still drive the tire shop guys truck who has them, but I think it's going to come down to AT2 Extremes or Duratracs.
The extremes don't seem to come in the right size though.

Damn tires pulling at my heart strings. Lol.

Got my headrests and console in today. Really happy with how they turned out, Brady did a great job. I'll send the rear ones out to him too eventually.

On a random and unrelated note I think I need a whiter some light, that one looks a tad yellow compared to the maps. And the front tint looks different than the back. I hate perfectionism dammit. Anyhow... lol

Nope all is well now. Although I think I'm nose high, which is unfortunate.

Just dropped the tow mirror caps off for painting
