Well after months of planning I finally got the look I was after!!! I put the bilsteins on, 285/70/17 duratracs and rbp 17x9 94r all black with a +10 offset.

Special thanks to Norcal Nick for the shocks and pitman and idler supports. Truck is cranked about 1.25 inches in the front and I did need to do some trimming to fit the duratracs. Super smooth and quiet mud tire, love it so far!

By the way.. the rbps in all black might be one of the most overlooked rims ever!!!! I just took out the chrome inserts to get the look I was after..enjoy!

Not bad. I'd say stuff a 285/75/17 under there and it would look bada$$, but that's just me. But not to take away from the look you've achieved, it does look pretty sharp ;)

Ok, WHOA! I think someone is trying to tell me something because I love that setup, and now I want to do that. What grill is that? Exactly what I'm looking for.

Are the fenders higher on the NBS? I have my bars turned more the that and my 285/70's appear to be a lot closer to the top of the fender.

Nice truck by the way!

Very funny, the kmc hoss's were my first choice but didnt like the offset options they had. Glad I went with something different.

The grill is from carriage works, I got it online from autoanything.com. It was only 149 dollars in black and the fit and finish is nice. I prefer the rbp mesh grilles but 700 bucks is too much!

^Perfect. The shop I use carries Carriage Works grills. I'm definitely looking into getting one.

I got em for $220.00 bucks a piece. I was happy with that price as it seemed comparable to the other wheels I was looking at but it was the +10 offset that sold me. Wheel are just about an inch past the fender up front, not tucked in too much, nor too little.

Would these wheels work with a lift?
