I have not ordered any yet. When I did my search, I remember you stating how much heavier yours were that others with the polished combo so I think I am going to stick with the polished ones. Thanks for the offer though. I will keep you in mind though in case I reconsider.

02Blue.. I love your truck. After seeing some old pics of Jeremy's truck now seeing yours, I have been thinking of waiting on the wheels and do a 4/6 myself and go with that combo. Otherwise I may go with a 275/40 Toyo Proxies. I have heard very good things about those tires. I just dont want to have more fender gap than sidewall.

Todd... you got any pics of your new setup? Do the Hankooks hook ok on the street?

No, no pics b/c I still didn't get a D-camera. Hankooks do ok on the street but i think it's more b/c of the larger tire diameter and heavier wheels that make them harder to spin. These wheels are cast. I will be selling them so I can get billet for the weight savings and i'm going wider in the back for sure for traction purposes. I'll probably be driving my truck to the Gautier club thing so you'll see it there. Maybe do some late night street racing if you're up to it.

Hopefully I wont still be running the Wranglers by then. If so, I will have to throw on the ET streets to make it fair.

Thanks! When I saw Jeremy's setup, I knew I had to have it. Just for reference, my wheel/tire combo weighs about 55lbs.

I know your truck looked good with the modas, and I am sure it will look good with whatever setup you choose.

In that case maybe i'll throw the stockers on the front and bring the ET streets. Then it will be fair.

If you go any shorter than 275/45, you're gonna have a pretty good gap in the rear.

The best bang for the buck are the Falken 275/45/20. Paid $159 each balanced and installed.
