I will have to post the more of my project H2 as I complete it, just curious about everyone's thoughts.

O.K. Apparently my attached picture didn't show.

How do you post a pic to this forum?

Click on the little paperclip above the text window, click browse and select the picture, type a file description if you wish, then click the little 'ok' button. The attachment limit is 200k I believe.

They are Lexani VP Offroad 18"

They also make a beadlock that bolts on if you do alot of offroading.

After searching all the online places, I actually wound up getting them at Discount Tire (believe it or not).

They charged me about $410 per wheel and $275 per tire (Nitto Terra Grappler 325/65/18)

I like that deep look. Any rubbing from the tires? I have been looking at wheels for some time and those catch my eye...Very Nice Touch! C

Nope, no rubbing at all.

They are offset correctly, and are only 325's, so not much wider than stock.

In going with the 65/18 vs. the 70/17, they are almost the identical height to the stock tire/wheel combo. Within a quarter to an eigth of an inch (at least that's what it looks like if you stand the stock wheel/tire right next to it).

Softtail: The weights are on the inside of the wheels. Believe it or not, the Nittos are extremely well balanced. The worst of the four tire/wheel combinations only needed 4 oz. of weighting. Amazing considering the combined weight of the whole thing.

Badrap: That's next on my list. Hook me up. Seriously, who did you use here in Houston?

Are the new tires quiet like the bfg's? C

Badrap: OK, you prompted me to get the front widows done today. I seem to recall you saying that you had 20% on yours. Any problems with the local law enforcement?

Circuitguy: Actually, I think they are as quiet if not more quiet. At first I couldn't believe it, but after three or four days or driving around (I have a 17 mile commute to work), I still think this to be the case. Part of it could be that I had my BFG's for nearly a month and had never added any air. That said, it has been 90+ degrees here, so it shouldn't be that much of a change.

Definitely better street tires than the BFG Mud-Terrains, which look cool but ride much louder than the A/T's.

BADRAP 06-16-2003 07:15 PM

NO I do not have any issues and as a matter of fact, I am getting mine retinted this weekend to 5% all the way around... Should be interesting. I had that on my truck and I never had any issues, so we shall see...

Excellent. Most of the people I know with 20% have had no problem. The guy at the tint shop has 28% and claims to have been stopped 3 times last year.

Then again, he drives a civic

It looks MUCH better now, I think. Keeps the sun/heat out as well as onlookers.
