do you plan weld on beadlock ?

How thick are those centers?

17''rime ?

17x8 with 2.25" of backspacing. The centers are made from what looks like 1/4" thick steel.

Im going to try internal bead locks this time.

Nice!
Custom size? Vendor?

What's the plan for the old rims and tires?

Shawn from inner air lock is a pretty good guy from what a couple of my coworkers tell me. Good product too.

I got them from US wheels. They will do custom sizing for free. Through summit racing I got free shipping too. I plan on selling the old set unless I don't like the look of the 37s like I do the 35s. While the 37s will add a bit more ability offroad, I want it to look good to.

That's good to know. I've read good reviews on them.

Got the 37s on. Be honest with me on looks. Right now I still like the fat 35s better. It drives better with the thinner 37s. Feels more nimble and the mighty 2f seems happier.

Honest opinions appreciated. I'm going to drive it for a few weeks and see what I think.

 

[mrboatman]

it. Honestly your truck looks great either way it would all depend on which set-up gives the best performance and handling.

I think the 37s fit better proportionately to my eye...but don’t think you can wrong with either style.

I like a little more sidewall on my big meats, but it’s personal choice. I’m not piling on, but it’s the rims that really kill it for me. Sorry, I like more rubber than rim.

I don’t doubt the performance gains of the 17s on the street is worth it.

Proportionally it looks good, do you have a full side picture?

Why so much offset? Your tires stick out almost completely.

I like the 37's look too. It would be nice to see a full side pic as well.

Side pic...

When u lift a vehicle u raise the center of gravity. The extra track width keeps me from tipping over on off camber trails.

 

[fjdiesel]

How are you liking the 37's now that you have had them for a bit. To me they do look good!

 

[White Stripe]

Im leaning toward keeping the 35s. Im just not sold on the look. I think these wheels would look better if my cruiser was not such a shiny color like a tan or oem single stage color.

Both sets of tires are blue labels, right? What's the longest single road distance you've put on them? What's the minimum you have to air them down to for them to really work good?
