new wheels

[sseaman]

I picked these up for $150 with almost new tires, and another set of rims.

They make it look much better than the 235x75x15s.

Now to decide how much lift.

I am also thinking of painting the grill black, as it is all worn and faded, and if I do that, painting the bumpers black also.

Still undecided on fender flares

Looks good dude, did you have the stock steelies before?

Wheels can make or break a vehicle

You mean new tires? What size are those? 265/70/16

Would you powder coat the bumpers?

Fender flares would look good.

The tires are 31s, and only have a few miles on them.

I doubt I would powdercoat, probably just spray the bumpers and grill.

spray on truck bedlinner would prolly work good.

That's a hell of a deal. Where'd you get them....Craigslist?

 

[sseaman]

I found them on Ebay, from a local seller

I wanted to share my great experience with Discount tire today, they are awesome. They cut me a deal on getting my new tires balanced, and their customer service beats anywhere else I have been.

UPDATE--
After driving on the older tires for a few days, I decided to go ahead and get a new set since I regularly drive 3.5 hours out of town for work. I picked up a set of 31x10.5x15 Firestone Destination ATs, so far I love these tires. I was pouring rain when I left the shop and they handled well.
Today I drove 450 miles on them and they were nice and smooth on the highway, and I still averaged 23.5 mpg at 75 mph.

It looks like the larger size has the odometer off 9.1%, but the speedo is only off 2mph @70.
