If it were me it would depend on when I'm getting my new wheels and tires. I would place them a day before just to see the stark contrast of the new tires. And because I'm impatient lol

Just to add to what Hector said - take pictures of before and after

Doing the swap over will be way easier with the tires off. Just watch out for the post mounts. They break off easily on the factory ones. Don’t ask me how I know!

Hey Jason,

Others have said it - wait.

While doing my build, I took pictures at each stage and this shot is right after the flares were installed and before the level and new wheels/tires went on. It didn’t stand out to me at the time because I was so focused on the flares but when I went back through the photos, I cringed.

The side steps were next and it looked even worse! Luckily, the level and wheels/tires went on right after. I don’t think you want to be driving around like this.
