Black Nuts finally made it in! I think it helped the wheel out. Still waiting on my Spare, hopefully the RedBourne will be off backorder soon... Whatcha think?? Once I have the 5th I'll get better pics, not sure what's up with my phone but everything is so dark in the pictures.

I dunno why but the nuts can make quite a bit of difference... You can go FULL ON DIESEL BRO with 8" spikes! Or sport compact racer X with neochrome aluminum ones lol, I'll just stick with black own style though. Spare should be in tomorrow!

I'm looking at Nitto Ridge Grappler in 265-60-20, would you think they would clear?

All these people trying out different tires is making me think I should be able to snag a set of barely-used Wrangler Duratracs cheap any day now...

I ordered the off road tires but they removed it for some reason. It was just a Goodyear Adventure AT if I remember right, if I got duratracs I would've ran them.
on the 265/60 maybe.. but some rub I believe, I haven't installed the lift rods but thinking about it and trying a larger tire again. The 275/60 rubbed quite a bit but that was with the front mudflaps, without it has better room. I can't decide on the lift rods, I just barely clear my garage now in access height. I really considered the 265/60 Ridge but 10 ply just wasn't for me. It rides so well and didn't want to take anything away from it.

Love this conversation. Mine is scheduled to be built 9/4 and estimated arrival of 10/23. I ordered it with the Off Road Package, but I'm debating how long I will run the stock GoodYear tires. I'm waiting to see how the Lucky8 kit works because I would love to put some 18's on it. If I have to stick with the 20's for a while I was considering 275/60R20s. I did not order the mud flaps and will probably go with the Johnson Rods to get just a bit more clearance.
