Default Pics of my new shoes and socks

Some interesting **** came to light last weekend.
1. A stock 16x6.5" steel wheel w/Bridgestone 245/75-16 tire = 73lbs
2. An Intro Pentia 8 20x10 Billet wheel w/BFG Gforce KDW 305/50-20 tire = 76lbs.
3. I expected my truck to handle better, which it does, but I didn't expect it ride better, un-freakin-believable, It rides so much better now than it ever did before
4. It doesn't even look like my truck.............but I'm getting used to it real fast-like

let me know what you think.

As you will probably see, I'm not going after the lowered look

That looks damn good man! Those are some hot wheels and tires on a hot truck! You guys are going to force me to upgrade to a 20" or a 22" wheel! Once again, tech guys helping me spend all of my money!

Thanks for the compliments

They are a staggered backspacing, fronts are 6.5", rears are 5.5". That gives them a dead even track width and puts the tires just even with the edge of the fender flares.

The reason I chose the BFG Gforce KDW's is they were the stickiest tire I could find for a 20" wheel.
