Default Got some new shoes today

Went from the stock 18s to some 20x9's with 275/65/20 Nitto Terra Grapplers. I love the look and ride and the way they drive. So far no rubbing but haven't had a chance to really flex the suspension yet. Now it actually looks like a cool truck and not grandpa's Sunday driver.

Looks good man. Mine is silver ice metallic also. Even when it's dirty it looks good!

I like the low profile/minimalistic look of them.

After taking mine off it looks weird like something is missing there.

What's more annoying is I need to go and tow my new blazer home but the trailer and truck exceed the towing capacity. #smalltrucklife

If you don't look at the towing capacity it's not an issue




(kidding obviously)

I gotta rent one. Everything I'm seeing for rent is between 2500-3000lbs. Add 5k for the blazer and I'm right there. I should probably mention that the blazer is 86" wide from tire to tire so that adds some complexity to the situation. Might have to con my brother in law to dragging it up here.
