Default New Rims and Tires

Well, I dumped the 33's and went with these rims and tires. Much better ride and handling. Now, I just need to get the lift off of the truck and see if it needs to be dropped even more.
With selling the old tires and a few other parts I had laying around, I'm only out about $150.

Still need new lugs though, since the old rims had the lug caps with crappy lugs...

Get some chrome or silver lugs, get rid of the gas door, drop it and it will be a huge turnaround!

Yeah, I'm with ya' on the gas door- it was on there when I bought the truck last month.
And agreed about the lugs, as for dropping it, if it looked like yours', I'd do it in a minute- Nice truck!!

I almost hate to say it for fear of getting flamed, but I actually like the stance of it right now, LOL. It'll look great dropped though too.

A little drop, and get rid of the gas door. I think the wheels look really good.

I agree, the gas door is not my thing, but now to find a matching color replacement. Won't be fun...

The other thing, going from 33" tires that weighed about 80lbs. a piece to 30" tires that weight about 55 to-60lbs., BIG DIFFERENCE IN PERFORMANCE. Got rid of that dead weight.

Are those Nissan Titan/Armada wheels? They look good on your truck. Like everyone else said, remove the gas door and give it a little drop.
