Finished the 2017 Fx4 wheels on the 98 XLT
1.5" coil spacers in the front and 1.5" blocks in the back and the adapters. Guess I'll need to make a build thread soon, next project is the harley style headlights.

Too bad they weren't 17's, it would much better and fit some real tires vs those rubber bands. Gotta use what you got I guess. Looks clean, good job.

Still just not a fan of the 20's, but they don't look terrible. Definitely better than the chrome atrocities that were on mine. (I know, not quite the compliment you were looking for.)
I thought you were going to lower the truck, not lift it. Lowered for a "street-scene" look I think would've carried them better. The Harley-style headlights will be a nice next step.

I like the rim design, but them in 17 or 18 with more rubber would be better. Still, not a bad look. what size spacers, 2 inch? The stance is good

I meant to say the same, AK. I do like the style, especially with the silver lowers.

Those tiny spares you find in most car line vehicles have more rubber around them. Yea, I couldn't be THAT cheap, would rather resort to boot leather express until I could afford a decent set of rims/shoes for my ride personally.... Some actually like that look. Some much so, they don't mind feeling every little crack in the concrete lol.

Thanks, no doubt I agree if it was a 4x4 I would have gotten the gen 10 fx4 wheels or other 17's, but since this truck is 2wd it strictly stays on the road and the 20's hasn't really changed the ride quality even on the bumpy roads.

Yes the spacers are 2" and I might go with the oem sliver metallic fender trim/moulding to match the bottom of the truck since the tires barely stick out. I think actual flares would be overkill.

Factory flares will look good.
EDIT: Eh, I think I've changed my mind.
