Nice truck. Did you put 20% tint on over the factory tint in the back? Or just tint the front two windows to match the rear?

Exactly what I would do; the spacers with factory wheels will really give it an aggressive but sophisticated look. Nice choice and can't wait to see how it turns out.

Yeah, I ran Fred Goeske spacers and they performed very well with no issues including when off-roading. I had them installed with the specified torque and Loctite on the spacer bolts and then checked the lugs periodically like I did with my aftermarket wheels and lugs (they were always fine). I ran them for about a year and a half before selling my truck and will probably be going back to them on my new F150 as I like the factory wheels as well. I also used the bolted spacers on performance SUVs and other trucks and never had any vibration issues at speeds up to 130 mph or stress issues while off-roading.

i just looked them up. are these steel or aluminium? i was leaning towards the Bora ones since they had quite a huge postive feedback from this forum.
