My First Truck Build

[Shomare]

I have to say that I read an awful lot about people finding their trucks sluggish after adding bigger wheels but I went from 18 to 17 and these method wheels are pretty light if anything my pick up has more pick up

It looks very nice! Congratulations! I understand the pain but also the pride of owning an all-black ranger, especially with that much offset on the wheels. I have overfenders on mine, yet they do not cover properly where the wheel arches meet the sidesteps and a bit of rain ruins a perfectly clean car.

I think you forgot the pod lights on the hood from the description .

It's nice when these things happen, but you should be proud of them and list them in the mods .
I am curious what they are and what brackets you've made/used. They look like Rigids.

which model method 701 did you end up with? im having a heck of a time figuring out which ones actually fit. i have a 2.5 level, looking to get 17s, with 265 70 17 falken wildpeaks, but the different measurements on the wheels are messing me up. what size hub/center bore size we need?
