What do yall think of this wheel/tire combo?

[trollin]

I pretty much have the heads sold off my camaro once I get them off the car so I was wanting to use the money to help out the f150.

I was thinking these rims

Were'nt you complaining about spending $1k on tires/level for a truck that you swore would remain stock? Now you wanna add wheels to it? Hehe... See, you are falling victim to loving a Ford.

[trollin]

I just cant keep anything stock or close to it lol

[vr6dub]

if u buy some 18s x 12 ill trade u straight up for my 20s x 12s. im looking to go with a smaller wheel.

[trollin]

18x12's cost alot more than I'm wanting to spend right now

[vr6dub]

Blah wut bout 18x9s? Lol that's wut I'm looking for..

[trollin]

Im looking to spend $150 or less per wheel and I doubt I could kit a 12" under the truck lol

[03lofront]

i like the all black ones better than the silver and black combo. the tires are nice. but im not sure how the all black will look on the white with the silver strip on the bottom. its really your call. everyone has their own taste. just make sure you like and dont settle for something cheap if you could just wait another months worht of paychecks and buy what you really want.

I really want some 22" chrome mazzi hulks but my wife would kill me if I spent $2k on rims alone lol

[trollin]

[Justin]

Those look decent.

[03lofront]

you know after seeing the photo hak. i dont think the black would look better. so ima vote the black and silver now.

[trollin]

thats what Im thinking too. I just got the heads off my camaro, its a bitch with arp head studs, and have someone that is supposed to paypal me today or tomorrow for them and when he sends the money Im ordering the silver moto metals and buckshots

[vr6dub]

so your going with the maxxis buckshots? how much are you paying for them? i might be able to get you a discount from jackie baxter tires shop in lumberton. my company orders nothing but buckshots from him so we get a discount on tires.

[trollin]

Yep, 725 shipped for 4 285/70/17

[trollin]

I plan on ordering them tomorrow

[Justin]

Get that shit done.

[trollin]

just waiting on him to send the money

[Justin]

How much did you get for the heads and arp's?

[trollin]

750 for just the heads, Im keeping the studs

[vr6dub]

I plan on ordering them tomorrow

ah ok i wouldnt be able to ask him till monday. well ill still see how much they are and maybe next time i can hook u up!

[Justin]

Not bad.I want some like a $1000 4x4 to tear up.I've found a couple passports and pathfinders.

[trollin]

[brian704]

looks alright on his....if yours was all white i would say yes but since you got that strip on the bottom i just dont know, BUT like i said if you like them and are happy then go for it.

[trollin]

ordered the maxxis tires, I just need to talk to my manager at work when i get off in the morning about getting paid for my vacation instead of having the time off and then Ill order the black and silver moto metals

[trollin]

Just ordered wheels, hopefully It'll be done for the beach run

[trollin]

ah dont worry I'll get it back sometime... how's the truck ride? I'm curious how the add a leaf affected the rear suspension, the front should feel pretty close to stock

[Duckslayer08]

looks good

[Justin]

Now you just need some towhooks.lol

[Duckslayer08]

:iagree: lol

[Lenn]

tascafordparts.com

They have a tow hook set for $60-$70 including hardware. All you will have to do is cut your lower spoiler for them to fit. IIRC, there are guide lines on the back of it for you to follow.

Thats a good deal on new parts especially if it's including the bolts and brackets. I don't know about the 04+ but I know on the 97-03 2wd you have to drill the holes for the bolts... through the frame.. which is not a fun job

[Lenn]

Yeah... The '05 Lariat I had had a guide line in the chin spoiler and the holes were already there for the bolts.

It feels just a tad firmer but you can jump on the rear bumper and barely compress it though lol
