    Your truck but..



    Cali style is gay. Big lift, tiny tires, and 12'' wide wheels is a Fail. Retarded mall crawler. But that's just me.

    I also feel bad for the guy mounting a 295 on 12'' wide wheel. I wouldn't go around a turn to fast, pop that sucker right off the bead.

    Its all in your style and your money so my opinion doesnt matter but it doesn't look right to me. When I see it I think "spent all the money on the lift but ran out of cash for the right tires" the nice thing is if you do get tired of them you can always sell for a bigger size or upgrade when they wear down.

    I agree, BMFs bring some serious coin though.

    In your opinion... I didn't like the style at first either but it's grown a lot on me and I like it now. If I wanted a vehicle that was purpose built for offroad, I'd buy another four-wheeler or a beater. Lol at people calling brand new trucks mall crawlers... ah yeah, it is, go ahead and beat the piss out of a truck you pay 600 dollars/month for, I won't be mine.

    The truck HAS been and will be "offroad" plenty of times, by the way.

    Just in the last page of my Photobucket:





    Plenty of people have mounted 295/55 and 305/55 Trail Grapplers on x12s without a problem and no one has complained about popping beads. Buuuut, I think I changed my mind and am going to get 20x10 Predators, just so you can sleep at night.

    If I get tired of them, I'll jump to 35s, not a big deal to me.
