Default New wheels and tires!

I finally got around to replacing my 16's!!! I went with 275/60/17 Toyo Proxes STII. I am about to start on the 2/4 drop, hopefully I should have it finished up today or tomorrow, depending on how long the C-Notch take to put in...

I have only driven about 1 mile on the new tires so I don't know how good they grip or handle, I should know more tomorrow..


As usually my truck is freaking dirty...

Kinda, they were 16's, but they were aluminum... I stripped on the clear coat, wet sanded and buffed out the aluminum they looked really good for awhile... Then I got weselys bleech white on them when I was washing my truck one day and it stained them... I just did not want to mess with them anymore after that, so that was part of the reason for the wheel change...
