Finally pulled the trigger on new wheels and tires
First time posting, figured I'd wait till my truck had the new wheels and tires installed.
2013 STX, got it back in January, one owner and had 25k miles on it. Bug guard, window visors, bed cover, and tint were all done by the previous owner. Just had the wheels put on, 18x9 et25 wrapped in 275/70's. Perfect offset in my opinion.
Only other mods would be a level kit/suspension of some sort. I'm leaning towards the Bilstein 5100's with the front adjusted up to the second notch, about a 1" increase in height. I prefer not to add blocks to the rear and still would like to have some rake, just less then it is currently.
Welcome. I also bought a one owner STX. Back in November it only had 5,000 miles when I got it! It already had the center console swap and running board and badge delete which was a plus. I've since added some nice OEM stuff like keyless entry, remote start and I have an XLT gauge cluster ready to drop in. All were super simple
I went with 20" pro comp rims with 33x12.5x20" ginell gn3000 tires... I also have 1.5" BORA wheel spacers on with bushwacker extenda-fender flares and 2.5" level

Looks great! Now lose the factory chrome step bars and go with a black step bar or running board. I took off my factory chrome boards when I went with black wheels, new tires and a level. My TrailFX bars tie in much better and give the truck a nicer look.
Looks great. Smoked head and tails would improve the look as well. Keep modding.....
Not trying to start a debate and I respect your opinion BUT I hate smoked lights. Lights are to see and be seen yes? Smoking them only hurts the output.
If you're referring to the OEM "smoked" raptor/HD headlights then I agree his truck needs them!
