Got the wheels and tires on.
17x9 +58 Lodio Drive Cinq
285/70/17 Kenda Klever AT2
25mm spacers
I’m sure this is obvious to most on this forum, but I didn’t know that the front hub bolts foul the hub centric lip on most spacers. I didn’t want to go to a 1.5” spacer because that would have been too much poke. Ended up having a buddy machine some relief cuts, and it worked great. For anyone wondering, you actually can fit a 17x9 +58 with 285/70 tires in the front with no spacers. It's very close to rubbing on the control arm area but it doesn't.
I did break a front wheel stud removing the stock wheels. Getting the hub/rotor off and separated and pounding out the old stud on a 368k mile truck from Wisconsin was a bitch! Took me most of an afternoon. I had to drill the old stud out almost completely before it would come out.
Anyway, here she is. I'm pretty happy with the fitment and how it looks. The Kendas definitely hum on the highway. These are my first AT tires ever. I've heard that they quiet down a little once they break in?
I don't mind how the running boards look right now. Maybe once I go wheeling for the first time that will change.
