Widening Steelies questions. (1 Viewer)

Thanks! (and thanks @JeffD too). There are much nicer builds by far here on Mud, but mine suits me.

You got about exactly what I want. Do you have a build thread?

Stockton wheel widened mine to 10”, they have standard sizes of 8”,10” and 12”, in between sizes cost more because they are custom.

Sorry, but no single build thread - just bits and pieces here and there in this forum, the Orion forum, the winch forum, and etc. I was either too busy or too lazy to do one when I was actually building it 10-12 years ago. I'd be happy to answer any specific questions though if you want to PM me.

What front bumper is that?

 

[Nifski]

Custom Fab by local shop. ARB compressor hidden below with air chuck up front, recessed LED and warn winch on top. Nice and snug, access port to adjust steering.

35x12.50 KM2 on widened OE steelies (15x7”).

These wheels were sold by Specter years ago...wish they were 8”.

 

[JeffD]

Not the best job, but I photoshopped 33 10.5 BFG KO2 on stock wheels onto my Land Cruiser to see what it will look like. New wheels should be here any day.

They are going to look sharp in black, it goes with all the colors

 

[reddog90]

Gray or black steelies with rustic green? 1911's black looks pretty good.

Thank you, but I already have new ones on the way.

 

[reddog90]

Yes; bone stock, not-widened steelies and 33x10.5x15 BFG KM2 tires.

How long have you run them? Are your tires wearing evenly?

Seven or eight years. The tires have worn surprisingly even. I run 35 psi on pavement.

X2... 1911 was one of the members that inspired me to make the change to stock steelies several years ago. I had 10.50 X 31's when I first sourced my stock wheels, upsized to 33's about 5 years ago. My KM2's have held up great and the ride is better on 33's than it was on 31's. I run mine with a quarter inch spacer just to help clear the tie rod boots on the DS, I tore one up off-road make full lock turns but no issues since.

Someone saw your truck in Scottsdale, and posted it on Reddit.

dang. gone

I like the widened stock steelie look. I understood that Stockton was kind of the go-to place to have this done. But, didn't they go out of business a while back?

Very nice and mean, very nice!

Personally I think that black looks great with Rustic Green also; here is mine:

I already committed to beige on my restoration but that old rustic green makes me loose my religion. One cannot go wrong with that green. Very nice!
