Default new wheels/tires

well....traded my weels off for some nnbs gmc 20s and im pairing them with some 265/50/20 nitto 420s....excuse the right rear tire, after i put the nittos on this morning and drove home i realized there was a small leak in the sidewall of it so i drove it back up to discount and slapped one of the stock tires back on and ordered a new nitto 420 that should be here in about a week...but.yall get the idea with the other 3 tires lol....

also excuse the missing lug covers and the gmc centercaps...both of those things'll be getting fixed soon....lol

Looks good man, to be honest though, if them wheels you had on were all silver or all black, it would look great also.. But the new rims give a clean look..

well it worked out kinda weird.......i looked on craigslist for a set and i found a guy who wanted to trade some for some 17s so i offered to trade him for my 20s and he said he only wanted 17s....so later that day he emailed me again and said that his friend has the 17s he wanted on his tahoe and his friend liked me wheels, so i traded him for his whels, then he was gonna go trade my old wheels for his friends 17s....lol

Honestly, I think your truck's stance is perfect right now. Get that tailgate handle painted, and your truck will look nearly perfect, IMHO.

I wouldn't shave it. You can get the handles already painted on eBay really cheap if you are just not wanting to fool with it.

Shaving the handle is going to be a lot more work than just buying a painted one!
