If so, can you post pics?

Thanks

I thought so, but I'm not need my PC and my smart phone takes awhile to load...

Sorry it's not the best looking specimen, but I have to admit, the 17's are sweet to run on.

Don't apologize, that's a sweet rig. Chrome don't get ya home. I think a lot of folks on here have forgotten that.

Thanks guys! I mounted mine yesterday on KM2 25575R17 tires.

They cleared with no lift. I think I'm going to do OME 2" springs though.
I will post pics by Friday.

Not really mentioned here is that the steelies have a different offset than the stock aluminum wheels. They will fit just fine, but i has some rubbing when flexing with 285/75s. Installed spacers, no issues since. I run the 17s with road tires, a set of 16" taco steel wheels with mud tires.

Got any pics?

I went FJC steelies about 4 years ago. I'm running 33"s and am contemplating going back to the original 16"s when it is time to replace the tires. The FJC steelies, while looking great, have bent quite a bit on my rig. Not sure if it is because they are closer to the obstacles when aired down or what, but every one has a good size dent in it and they are not sealing all that great anymore (granted my BFGs are pretty worn out too). Just something to keep in mind...
