Re: 8 lug slot mags

Yeah well I bought a set of 9.75 slots with 35/12.50 BFG A/Ts for $40!! Sounds great, but once I installed them I got maybe 500 miles before one flew apart. I would have gone with a Swamper, and they now make the Vortrac 35" that is road friendly, but way more money than I want to spend. I went to 16 x 8 steel wheels and downsized to 285/75s.

I'm sure these 17s will appear same as 16.5s looking at the truck. Personally, I like the 10" 8-lug slots. 8" just doesn't get it for me on these. Gotta have that "dish". I wish they'd make those
