Well it was finally warm enough to get out and take some Before pics. I have LC rims waiting for tires and Front and Rear bumpers are being fabbed up. Since its warm i can finally take off the front brush guard and running boards and get them listed to be sold. I'm still in limbo about the lift but I will get it sorted out by the end of the month. All in all I just want it ready by april when it starts getting nice out again.
Let the modding begin

Approx. 1" difference. google tire size calculator and you can compare two different tire sizes against each other.

The way I painted them was quite simple. Bought two cans of Duplicolor Charcoal Metallic a can of clear and some red scotch brite pads.
1. Prep Prep Prep- I degreased with rim cleaner and then simple green. Then scuffed them up with the red scotch brite pads. It takes awhile but the result is worth it. After that cleaned with water and then brake cleaner to get everything off.
2. Got them up to room temp and blew them off with air then painted them with about 4 coats with about 7-10 min apart. I let that set up for about 15 min and then put about 3 light coats of clear on.
Then I let them sit in the heated garage at work for about 2 weeks to set up.
I got them on and no chips on the rims
I would say prep would be the most important.
Have any questions feel free to ask
