Here's the finish product for anyone having doubts. lol I like the look of the 14's, but think I'm going to trade or sale to get some 22x11 Hostages. 6" is to much out. I rather keep it to around 3-4.
I would love to see it when you drop down to a narrower tire though. I Personally don't like that look where the wheels/tires don't seem to belong with the vehicle, kinda like throwing 1-ton axles under a jeep just doesn't seem to flow well.
What size tires are those? 37/13.5"?? I wonder how some 38x15.5's would look under there.
jdc- Yes, they're a 13.5, I can't fit a bigger tire with out going higher. I think I'm almost to high already for 37's. I cut some, but I'm still rubbing. I will have to trim some more and hopefully it stops.
I cut that piece off that hangs down on the inner fender plastic, its about 1" tall and 5-7 inches long. I just cut it straight across, that was where most if not all the rubbing was on mine.
I think your right that it is sitting a little high in the back. you probably need the 1" TEI Spacers that Icon sells so that you are setting perfectly level. They just get bolted underneath your springs in the front.
I measured it a while ago on the cement. All four corners are within 1/4" from each other.
Iowa, I'm like you. I love the lip on the 14" wide Hostage, but wish I could get an 11" with the same lip. The 11" will still stick out 3-4" with a 5" lip.
Thanks for the compliments. I sold the wheels this past weekend to theSLEEPER. I'm waiting on the Fuel Wheels to come in. I'd really lime to get some 22x12's, but AF is the only wheel out there.
I like the 14" wheels, but not how the Armours are made. If I had the 14" Hostages I'd probably keep them for a while at least.
I dig it. The wider the better.How did the tire shop stretch em? I have a set of 33x15.5x16.5 swamper sx on 16.5x14 welds and I had to go to several different shops before finding a semi-truck tire shop to do it and he pissed and moaned about how much trouble the were to mount.
I bought the wheels/tires and lift as a package deal so I would be lieing if I told you how or who mounted the tires. I was told they charge double to mount them than a normal wheel.
Thanks. Patriot Decals made the Gray Oval and I had a local shop make the Superduty Superman logo. Patriot Decals can make anything except a ford logo due to copyright issues. At one time they use to make them and also the Inner lays.
