Default Got new wheels and tires

I actually have had them on for a couple weeks but finally washed the truck and took a couple pictures. Putting the level on this week because they sent the wrong one the first time. Let me know what you think.

Looks great! If you have the red inserts you should paint them tan, I think that would look pretty clean.

I actually just threw the inserts away. If I decide to add some later I plan on ordering the camo inserts instead to break it up.

Both your trucks look good. Im thinking about getting some tires like these. How do they ride? I just started looking, but are the Trail Grapplers common on here? Does that size you got mess with speedo any? Also, are they rubbing now? I plan to level the truck, but maybe not right away. Thanks!

The tires ride great. A little noisy but not too bad. I had no rub initially until I backed down a hill and snagged the edge of the factory fender flares with no level. I trimmed the part that it bent out a little and you could not see it unless you looked in the wheel well. I do have a leveling kit now though and it gives plenty of room for the tires. I drove it for about 3 weeks before leveling and it was fine. No issues with speedo. Only about an inch or so of change in size so its not enough to throw anything off but it did kill my gas milage. I went from 15.5 mpg to about 12.8 mpg.
