I had these 33 Goodyear Duratrac’s & American Racing wheels for a while now. I couldn’t use them on my 99 as the offset pushed the tire into my steel rocker guards. However on my 04 which currently has the stock plastic ones all I had to do was cut the front of the plastic rocker 1inch shorter, then with a little modification I was able to re-use the end I cut off as a cap so it still looks OEM & it keeps the plastic rocker strong.

Some people hate aftermarket wheels, but these have grown on me. I need to get one center cap as the logo fell off & makes it look odd, or drill 50mm holes into the center cap & install OEM black center caps.

Either way it gives the 04 a nice stance on 33’s.

Yeah me either, but for some reason these with the Vienna Green look sharp. If I can find a hole saw bit I’ll experiment on the center cap without a logo & see how some black OEM center caps look.
