MAXEDpath Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 ok buddy im very glad you chose the wheels and tires its the better choice. It will make a huge difference with how your rig looks and how it rides on road and off road. one thing that I have learned though is as far as rubbing and trimming will go it will vary for everyone. Your not gonna know how bad it will be until you get them on. like on mine everyone told me I was gonna have to do some trimming to fit my 31's but mine barely even rubbed. Only when I was at full lock was when then even touched anything and it was just the plastic part of the fender. this is what mine looked like when I first got my tires hankook dynapro all terrains 31x10.5 on daytona 51s 15 inch rims all from les schwab They worked great to I was keeping up with my buddies and their lifted grand cherokees whenever we went out And when time came and I was able to purchase my 2 inch ac lift it just added to the capability of the ring and all my rubbing went away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iPath Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 Got the wheels in the mail today, I ordered chrome center caps but after seeing them in person I'm not sure if i want to put those on or not Oh and walmart's estimated delivery on the tires is between november 7th and 14th.. holy slow shipping!

Trogdor636 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 They'll probably show up sooner than that. My buddy had his show up a week and a half before the estimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iPath Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Walmart emailed me this morning! I'll be headed there after class, just crossing my fingers everything fits right 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iPath Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) Walmart wouldn't mount the tires! Since they aren't the "suggested" tire size. I had a local shop do it, although I had to wait 2 hours since I didn't have an appointment. I need to get a pic with a wash and when the suns out, much less purple-y. I like it, completely different appearance. The only rubbing is at full crank reverse, and even then not a problem.

Trogdor636 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Really? My buddy has an 93 XE and they aren't the recommended size, they just made him sign a waiver saying he wouldn't sue if his vehicle caught fire and burned the town down. Even though he drove in with 31's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrariowner123 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Nice bro. Looks real good. Annoying they wouldn't mount them. Did they give you some money back for not mounting them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iPath Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 The only money I had paid so far was the price of the tires themselves luckily. I think the rubbing in reverse might be from the mudflaps. I'll have to check in daylight, I'll probably correct that seeing as it will get annoying backing our of parking spots every time.

Yeah, its a minor issue, just dont be afraid to cut too much. BTW, seeing your rig, makes me REALLY want your front end. Love the look of the newer pathys -Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iPath Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Thanks man, it's funny how minor but noticeable the facelift was. Oh, and i'll be the first to admit, I wish they wouldn't have made such a dark maroon. Like I said the pics dark and it's dirty, but it looks straight purple there ha. I love the maroon/red shade that mitsubishi painted the montero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iPath Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Wash! I'd say it has a pretty good stance for not being lifted. Now to find out how it handles off the pavement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devonianwalk Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I LOVE LOVE LOVE the burgundy. Who is the other member here with the burgundy R50? Makes me want to paint mine, or trade for an all black non-pre facelifted with a tire carrier and a manual transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your car had a manual, i would literally trade you straight across. -Kyle EDIT: im an idiot and read too fast, he wants exactly what i hope to create.

Okay, seeing your wheels, i know i want the hub covers. Those make the wheel complete. Looks amazing, winter must ruin the beauty of that paint. -Kyle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next cosmetic thing might be front window tint to match the factory back, nothing too extreme. Then I think I'm done with the exterior. Might throw in a cold air intake too.

DarylM Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I am going through the same decision processes. I really like the results on your truck. Did you go with 3.75" back spacing? Or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
