Bruizer, it looks like you "aired-down" some while offroading - how many psi were you running?

I have friends running Nissans on these tires on blue trails, and they do just fine, aired down to 20 psi or so.

Cool truck and graphics!

Just trying to help you spend your money lol :curse: Lucky (for my bank account) I still can't find a wheel I really like or I'm sure they'd already be installed by now.
Regarding the wheels...I was in the same boat with my old F150. Couldn't find a wheel that I liked except for the OEM one... Just the wrong color. I had them powder coated black with red accents. Was a real head turner.

That looks really good! With the Saber color it's making it harder to choose the right wheels. Some of the bronze ones look good but I'm not sure once they're on how they'll look against the Saber. I don't mind the Sport wheels and I never thought of painting them and adding accents..Thx!

Should you go that way, a few tips:

Make sure you find a reputable shop and talk to some past customers.

Make sure that shop is willing to sit and design them with you. I didn't want the red to be overwhelming so we jointly decided on the small areas to accent.

You'll need another set of wheels to put on the vehicle while they are being done. The shop I used took a week. I had the OEM wheels from my previous F150 in my garage so I lucked out. It looked pretty funny for a week...had a 4" lift with small tires. It was worth it in the end though.

Lastly, it cost $150 per wheel.

What tint % is that? I need tint too. I usually always tint my vehicles right away but haven't gotten to it on this one
I had them match the rears as closely as possible. I think we ended up with a 50% tint if I remember correctly.... the receipt paperwork doesn't indicate unfortunately.

Looks like a blast!

How did those tires do? I'm continuously trying to convince myself to keep my perfectly good stock tires but I can't help but shop around for larger ones. :headbang:
The tires did just fine but I stayed out of some of the trails where I thought I might have trouble. I'm planning to do a 2.5" level lift and Cooper Discoverer STT PRO 265/70/17 mud terrains next year hopefully.
