new shoes on the crew

had these Fun countrys in the garage for a while so threw them on this weekend. what do you think ? I like both looks.....will probably run smaller ones in the winter....size 16.5 x 16.5 x 36" .... a little wide for my taste but $ 600 bones for wheels and tires with only 4000 miles i couldnt pass them up

Wow, doesn't even look like the same truck LOL. Those wider wheels look way more mean. I love that look.

Have to agree the steelies look tooo utilitarian, but the larger wheels give a more agressive look!

Re: new shoes on the crew

Re: new shoes on the crew

The new shoes look great. Keep the steelies for when the mood strikes and you'll be covered, I like both looks equally well but tend to lean toward stock 51/49.

Ha! was wondering if any one would notice the flares.....I had those laying around and needed to hide some rust on passenger side rear wheel opening edge. also the shadow does look grey below the moulding....might be an option to repair and hide the rust......
