They do look really good on the Blizzard Pearl! Congrats!
Are you going to continue blacking out the chrome pieces?
I have Duratracs on mine now too.

Very nice. Did you happen to weight them, I heard they were light?
I weighed mine when I got them. They weighed 20lbs 2 oz. fresh out of the box without the TPMS sensors installed yet.
 
Looks Great!!

Quick question, the middle pic of just the wheel and part of the tire, in the spoke opening of the wheel, it that the amount of weight it took to balance those tires? Seems like a lot?

i know right... i was like wtf.. but there's quite a bit on all 4.. and america's tire usually have done great for me.. it drives vibration free on the freeway so i guess that's what it took..
 
what kind of lift/suspension do you need to clear that tire/wheel combo? does it rub at all under articulation?

no it doesn't rub.. after i cut out like a 6x6 chunk of fender liner on both sides lol

no rubbing on the frame either on the back side of front.. with light racing UCA i got 4.0+ caster..

ome springs front.. forgot part #.. the lightest one.. all pro 2 inch springs rear and 5100 shocks all around
 
Did you set the UCA to the "D" setting which yeilds +2 caster or "A" to get the +4? Im at the "D" and get some rub on the front driver side. Thanks!

It's probably the tires,not the rims, being out of balance is the reason for them taking so much weight to balance.

I got lucky with my set of Duratracs as I hardly have any weights on all 4 but 2 of my last KM2's took a ton of weight with the same rims. One of the KM2's was so bad they had to put 2 layers of weights.

You can paint them black to blend in better or take black duct tape cut just a little bigger and put over them. That's what I do as I lost some one time and common on high speed sports cars.

The setting is supposed to be zero(SPC logo facing out) and then they need to dial in caster/camber with the lower eccentrics on the LCA(lower control arm). The reason being even at zero they are 2 degrees more caster then stock. I tightened the top nut just a little inwards from all the way outboard(about 1/4")

Thanks harper! I currently have it set as you stated above. I still have a little bit of rubbing on the backside of the front driver side. I wanted to avoid cutting the liner but it may be the only way. I have already used your other post and moved the front liner forward. Appreciated the help!

More Positive caster adjusted from the bottom aft eccentric will move the wheels forward . Around +4.0 or more seems to be the caster sweet spot on 5th Gens if you like stiffer steering. I didn't like how I used to have to constantly steer the truck on some highways before I changed mine.
