I don't think you did anything too wrong and it still looks great as you have it.
 
I mounted mine at an angle, turns out its not that ergonomic. Will probably go back to flat like @TeCKis300.

Just waiting on tires to arrive. Tire rack has Alpha equipt wheels on close out for the older models. I have wanted to do this for quite sometime. My Falkens have around 42k miles and are almost five years old. Plenty of tread life left but one has developed a really high road force and another has an alleged issue internally with a belt, the supposedly only presents itself after a certain amount of tread wear :meh:.

My wheels and tires came in. Ordered the same wheels from tire rack couldn’t beat the price. Went with 295/70/18 Yokohama Geolander ATx’s. Need to trim the leading inner portion of the rocker/step in the wheel well and push the front liner forward and maybe get in there with a heat gun to reform some areas. But just sitting here I’m amazed what a difference these make over stock. Photo of the roof gives reference to the garage door how much higher the passenger side sits with the new setup vs the driver side that’s stock.

Did you go with the +15 or +35 offset?

I believe they were +25. After a bunch of reading that seemed to be the sweet spot on these things.
 
After some trimming I have 0 rub however they’re very close to the body Mount. Curious how it’ll do off-road. Going to get an alignment and see if they can bring the caster forward at all before I do a BMC.

🚨 BOLD choice!

The 295s look proper!

Extremely happy I went with this size. When UPS delivered them I had doubts they’d fit when standing them next to the truck lol.

For alignment, you might want to have them put a touch of negative camber. That'll help the tops of the tire tuck under the fender. And help the tall sidewall from rolling over when cornering.

Curious to see how yours turns out. Went with the AlphaEquipt as well and couldn’t be happier. BFG 285 70r17’s

Hah, didn't know blacking out the lower bumper became a thing. Joining in

Did anyone get these AlphaEquipt in the 17"? Did they fit over the brakes?
 
I'm probably going to do this to mine as well. I think it modernizes the look of the front end a bit.

I was thinking to cut a bigger section out for the HWM, and use the blackout to blend in the metal bits.

Thanks for posting those winch pics BTW, I'm realizing there's some significant diffs to the LC HWM mount I have.

I’ve seen a few on various FB groups with them in 17” so no problems I’m assuming.

Thanks. A bit of searching around here had a pic on a us 200, I went ahead and got a set.
