I think I am going to go in that direction. A bunch of guys at work here have the Nittos and love them. I am going to look into that route...What size tires are you and your friends running on the trucks?, they look great! I am not a huge fan of the bigger, fatter tires....Thanks

Masher-

I put new wheels on my Hummer and tried to sell the factory ones. I got offered 25.00 each!. I decided to keep them and sell the custom ones after I sell the Hummer. Also, New Jersey is the greatest place.

Are 20" and 22" rims okay for towing and hauling loads?? An engineer friend at Ford said they will not put on any bigger than 18" rims on the trucks because they have been breaking the rims in testing. Any thoughts or input on that. Also with the bigger rim, the sidewall will likely get shorter and take some of the cushion out of the ride wouldn't it?? Ford offers a 18" rim option on the "X" but I don't know if it is available yet (it says late availability in the brochure) and comes with goodyears.

Also I heard the Ford and Hummer have the same lug pattern?? Does anyone know if this is true??

I am asking because my next ride will be the same exact one pictured in post #1.

Hey Masher: TSG sent me a pm and here are my specs: 22" KMC Backseats with 325/50/22 Terra Grapplers. I love this set up and it looks good too! I did lift the front 2" to level the truck but I have a buddy who didn't lift his at all but his rubs in tight turns quite a bit. Mine barely rubs in the most extreme left hand turns. Check out www.kctrends.com and Chad has posted pictures in his gallery. Hope this helps!
