Ok, so I fially got the wheels I ordered, 2 months after I ordered them. The center had to be bored out to fit...

So here is a pic of the old wheels, and the new wheels...

old wheels are stock 15x7 w/ 30x9.5
new wheels are Helo Maxx 16x8 w/ 265/75

Yes they are driveway shots, I just went to test them out and will post some "dirty" pics soon.

Ecellent! Much nicer look. :thumbsup-big:

Awesome. That's flippin' sweet! (May want to lose the brushgaurd in order to test those tires properly) :D

I had posted a question about a poor mans lift but now I see how your X sits.I was wondering what kind of lift you have.I recently purchased the same tires and new wheels that are pretty close to yours its a nice look.

Yeah, the rails and guard are next to replace as funds allow....

I got the rancho 2.5", only because a friend of mine gave it to me insanely cheap(long story)
I would of rather of had the 3", the tires could use the extra .5".

Here are some "light" offraoding pics. I say "light" because I just got these tires and dont have the right size spare at this point, also I was by myself and didnt want to get stranded.....

Doesn't cost anything to remove them ;)

Suspension lift does not help with tire clearance. Only a body lift will help you to fit the larger tires, as it raises the wheelwells. With a suspension lift, you still compress to the same point, so the tire will rub the same with or without a lift under compression ("stuffage" as TJ calls it)

Yeah, I know it wont cost anything to remove them, but the wife and kids still use them as steps, and I am keeping the guard for looks until I get a new bumper.

That sounds logical to me. :noworries:

You should repaint your center hubs gloss black to match better. Just a thought.

Yeah, that is what I plan on doing. These wheels came with custon chrome center caps that I didnt want to use because they are chrome, I am getting them painted and then I will put them on.

Looks good.

:D

Yeah - as long as you don't break the stuff before you want to e-bay it.

The Rancho lift has no travel either, we measured one, the X did better on the RTI ramp stock, than with the Rancho Lift.

:D

The rear springs snapping from the short Rancho AAL's was a problem too.

:fussball-big:

Oh well...life is a series of compromises....its not like my truck is exactly the way I'd want it in a perfect world either.

Well, I did get the lift next to nothing, All I had to do was buy the upper ball joints for the truck, I wasnt complaining about anything for getting any lift for that.

Yeah I thought about trying to go ahead and sell that stuff on Ebay, but for right now I am keeping it on, hopefully I wont damage anything.
