Hey everyone I am looking at a set of XD diesel 17 inch wheels and would like to know what they would look like on my truck so post up your pics please.

Also what would you suggest for the largest tire without any mods, the shop I go to recommends nitto terra graplers but do they have a smooth ride I drive 35,000 to 50,000 miles per year highway but have to drive offroad to get to job sites so I need something that will get me through the mud for work. thanks

Guess I never asked when I ordered them, but I wonder if you can order trim rings seperately if you wanted them later???

thanks for the site carcrafter22. I will check it out. I may also consider the cognito 2-3 inch leveling kit before i go for the full blown ORU SFA 4 link coil over conversion.

I am going to try and crank the tbars as little as possible if the ride quality goes down i will try a lift but i should be fine i am only getting 285/70/17 BFG A/T

i figure that the cognito leveling kit will be just right. I get nice bilstiens and the ability to run 305/65/R20 BFG A/T's. It should be nice.

Pics are in my garage so everyone give me your honest opinion I would really love to know what you all think. I paid $1700 out the door at discount tire is that a good deal I thought so after looking for a 3 weeks

Sorry no pics from the front but the back sits very flush if not just barely inside the stock flares the front sticks out just a little maybe a 1/4 - 3/8 inch I am going to get a 1/4 inch spacer for the rears that will get it close enough that it wont matter to me
