Went wheel shopping today and came up empty. Any suggestions?

Duke, it's funny you mentioned that size matters. I did the full lock test on my truck a couple of days ago, and lets just the one inch taller tire that I thought about going to is out of the question without getting a leveling kit. With the new wheels at full lock to the left there is about a half inch between the tire and the rear crash bar and at full lock to the right there is about a quarter of a inch between the tire and the front crash bar. Conclusion stock size Goodyear HTs will remain on the truck. Whew, that's a lot of dialogue! Lol

To get more room up front, pull the plastic covers off the front crash bars. You can also loosen the crash bar bolts (front and rear) and angle the bars out of the way a bit. Then, re-tighten.

I some how another disabled the function on my phone and haven't had the time to retrace my steps and figure out how I screwed that up. That's the truth. I'm computer illiterate.

Mine OE set is mint sitting in my shed...someday, I'll sell them on FBM...

I still have mine in the shed also, along with the factory rear bumper and other stuff I have replaced/upgraded. There's a set of like new FX4 shocks and struts in there somewhere.

As to the difference in driving, I honestly don't remember as I installed the Fuel wheels when the truck was less than a month old

They are at Discount Tire in Sherman, TX. You are still SOL. Don't be a jerk because I am telling you like it is.

I mean... he asked you for a favor and your responses were unnecessarily rude. You can say no without being a douche about it. Then you called him a jerk. "Sorry dude, I don't have the ability to remove the wheels to weigh them" or "Sorry dude, the OE wheels were left at Discount Tire. I don't have a way to weigh them" both get the point across without unnecessary attitude.

It’s all very recent. @Figarou and @Ibanezbass671 were showing off their AI skills and Figarou uploaded an image of my truck and generated that image so I used it as my avatar.

If I had the actual model, I’d be posting it all over the forum, a la Kustom Interior style.

At least you'd be posting in the proper forum.

Something about a spare set of wheels and tires that appeals to me. Almost always have a spare set available. Might not be good tires but in a pinch its nice.

Similarly sized spare set of wheels. Its not the size its how you use it. Can probably do crazy burn outs and impress the ladies at cars and coffee before tipping over onto a mustang.

Yeah, I understand what you are saying about having a spare set of wheels. Like a mentioned a few posts before I didn't have a place at the house to store them and I didn't want to burden my Dad by storing them at his place. That wouldn't be right. JMO.
Growing up on the farm I always saw my late Grandpa use what he had, Dad is the same way, and I am just like both of them.
