Can’t believe how wheels changed the looks!

[skumancer]

So, after years of higher priority mods and running 285/70R17 KM2s on stock wheels, I bit the bullet and went for 315/70R17 KM3s on Method Racing MR702 wheels.

After a bit of cutting and trimming a bracket that was holding the plastic mud guard, everything fits. I’ve gotta trim the bracket another 1/2” more, but nothing that affects every day driving.

I also had to trim the bottom of the fender well. Will see if that’s enough in extreme situations, but so far no problem!

And finally, here’s how it looked before

And here’s how it looks now

Loving the looks! Anyone else have tips on fender trimming and by how much?

Hey thanks! Bed cover is a RetraxMX. Rack is custom made at home to fit with the RetraxMX. I couldn't find one that would fit my purposes and the roller cover, so I made it.
