After what can only be described as a ******* debacle with Centerline and UPS, I finally got my tires mounted and balanced and put the wheels on my truck. In short two of the wheels were damaged when I received them and all four were covered in swirls and light scratches. I can polish out the swirls/scratches but I had to send the two damaged wheels back to be repaired. There's a lot more to the story and I'll post it up soon. I plan to do a quick how-to when I polish my wheels out, I'll probably post the whole story then.

I love the wheels but don't think I'll do business with Centerline again.

*Disclaimer* I'm the worst photographer in the world so sorry for the craptacular pictures.

Wheels are 22x9" Polished Centerline Archers, tires are 285/35/22 Nitto 555r:

Now:

 

The rim and tire combo look great. Are you going to keep it at that level or go lower? Another inch might be very nice overall.

 

Wheel/tire combo looks awesome! One thing I noticed is that the front and back tires on the driver's side are mounted with the tread pattern opposing eachother inside of in the same direction!

 

I noticed that too, I would get that handled before you get too many miles on those tires.

 

What where the other wheels you had? I like the new ones too!!!!

Yep, gonna swap the front wheels. That'll fix it.

2005 Silverado - They are 18x9" BBS RWs with 255/55/18 Nitto 420s.

blue2003ls - Truck is only lowered 2" in the rear currently. I plan to go down another 2" front and rear.

One more thing: If there is a difference in acceleration or braking with the 22s vs the 18s I can't tell a difference.

Thanks guys!

 

Man that really looks great. My 2k is going to the paint shop soon for new paint. I was thinking of upgrading my 20" wheels. This post definately has helped me make up my mind.

 

Looks great man, when you gonna put that blower on?

 

Night and day improvement

 

looks good... just drop the bitch now... make sure the tires tuck in a bit, I love how that looks
