New shoes & rubber going on this Saturday

[garyo]

We shall see how it goes, analysis paralysis on my part a bit but after reading and scouring through many of the you good folks, will put these on (17”/+30/8.5” wheels) with a set of Nokian 265/70 17’s.

Will post when done. Also planning a 1 1/2” level either before or shortly after.

Just finished getting the new wheels and tires installed. I will be doing a 1.5” level in a couple weeks.

I think it worked out not too bad. I’m pleased with the look and sizing.

Wheels & tires are: Replika (very similar to the Roush Bronco wheels but at a fraction cost) 17”x8.5” +30 and the Ford centre caps fit perfectly. The tires are the Nokian Outpost nAT’s 265/70 r17’s.

I dig the look. Can’t wait for the level and I still want a little rake for towing now and then.

cheers

Looks great! I was very curious to see these wheels on the truck. Seems like a really good look, good offset.

Please let us know how you like the Nokian, seems like good less popular option for an AT.

I definitely will let you know. I’ve heard lots of good things from people who have owned them and read many positive reviews. We shall see. Cheers

Looks great, nice choice on the wheels.

Looking really good. Maybe I missed it, but are the red tow hooks painted or a cover? They definitely add to the trucks appearance.

Thanks! They are a cover from Amazon and actually don’t mention the Ranger fitment but for $20 I gave them a try, trimmed up with a carpet knife (a little long by 3/8”) and used black zip ties behind the existing rubber protection piece to tightly hold on. I’m up in Canada but here’s the link; I’m sure the .com site has even more.

Wherever you found them, they look darn good. I'd seen those for sale for the Ranger Raptor before but not the standard trucks. I'm assuming they're probably the same things.

Thanks again, I took a bit of a flyer on these and found them sleuthing around. Link below. I really wanted Method wheels but after buying the truck I pulled the trigger as they are inexpensive and wanted something I could likely sell if I didn’t care for the poke etc. but they turned out nice. Longevity-wise we shall see.

Roush sells a wheel very similar to these for much more but slightly different specs (+25) so I’m thinking they’re likely made in the same plant but they can’t be exact (www.roushperformance.com) but who knows.
