These will knock an easy .3 off your 60 ft and will still be safe to drive in the rain. You do not want Mickey Thompson's ET street radials if you ever drive on wet roads.

They will last 5,000 to 15,000 miles depending on how much you abuse them.

A 275 would be too narrow for a 10" wheel IMO

I don't plan on driving in the rain with the ET's, they would be track only.

So I noticed some rust on my wheels the other day...instead of dealing with heavy steel wheels I think I'll go with some KMC Novas, 17x8 all around

Blacks for any vehicle that means business, IMHO

Offroad, racing, whatever. Leave the chrome to the pimps.

I hate chrome


Brushed or machined aluminum is good in my books

I'll try to get them photoshopped on mine with something that at least looks like a 17. My tires will still be 29" tall no matter what wheels I get

Heck I thought they'd look good if they were smaller. Here's one on the 20x8.5...not a fan of these.

Personally I think these would look good on your rig, good contrast with the silver...largest size is 17"

Cat, you know those trucks my body style with the wheels hanging out the fender all cholo style? With the back spacing on those wheels that's how mine would look. A 8" wheel with 4.5 BS will set my wheels out .5" than what they are now, a 9" with ~4.5 BS will set them out 1.5", I'd probably have to run 27" tires to clear the fender. But I do like the contrast point you bring up, I just can't find any mainly black wheels.


I think I may just run 255/60/17 all around and save the staggered look for another time. My drag wheels are going to stick out 3" from where my current wheels are haha

Welp, Autometer Ultra Lites ordered for oil pressure and trans temp. The factory oil pressure sender has been working sporadically even after a new sender so I just want to replace it all.

Scored 2 of the same exact tires I run for the front so I don't have to dish out more money for 2 new tires and then turn around and get new wheels. I'm set back on the Ridler Racing 695's 18x8 paired with 18x9.5 for the rear and will likely run the Toyo Proxes II. I forget the profiles but a 255 on the x8's and 295 on the 9.5 wheels

Got those 2 tars fo free FTMFGDW

Maybe you've never seen a pic of my truck


I absolutely despise the center caps on the first wheel, you can see the lugs even with the cap on and they're a PITA to get off and on quickly. Keep in mind Discount can get just about any wheel.

Employee discount IMFO

The 3rd wheel looks atrocious, but I'm looking at a wheel similar to that if I get and or buy my dads old truck. The General Tracker 8 which is just the Mickey Thompson Classic knockoff

I've only seen a couple of MB wheels I thought that actually look decent, but there are some good looking wheels in the wheelpros catalog but the ones I liked either didn't have a good offset or bolt pattern. The American Racing Blvds look awesome but are 5x4.5 IIRC

Why is that previous pic so big!?

Mocked up, I'll fire it up tomorrow to make sure they're working properly and then mount them.
