New Rims and tires!!!!!
Finally!!
After waiting for the rims and waiting and saving up for the tires I finally got them on 37/12.5/17 Nitto Trail Grapplers wrapped around Fuel Revolvers. I was so excited to put them on today, the hour ride home from work took FOREVER!! Took some pics for fun along the way
Rims in box:
Mounted at the shop. He charged $150 for mounting and balancing:
Before:
After:
I'm happy with the offset as well:
Now for the questions...
I'm noticing a decrease in power on take off, is that normal?
I have air ride in the rear, should I be worried it will damage it?
I'm rubbing a bit in the front wheel well at full turn, any recommendations?

I LOVE those tires, can't wait to throw a set similar on mine. Also I really like the tires pushed out a little. With my offroad flares the stock wheels look dumb tucked in so much. What backspace/offset did you end up going with?

Thanks guys, i'm really happy with the way it came together. I was worried the rims would look cheap or be to flashy. I drove it today on a 120 mile trip to Boston and back. Average MPG went from 11.5 to just around 10
This is a -12mm offset. They clear the sway bar which is a great but now im getting some rubbing on the fender at full lock. Gonna have to get a set of those flares to keep the daily mud off. lol
