my SandStorm got some new shoes!!!

I went with the 20 inch American Racing Mojave. size 20x10. For tires, I really wanted the Nitto Dune Grapplers, but they were a little steep in price for me. So I shopped around some more online and found the Cooper Zeon LTZ. Their size is 305/50/20. They're not noisy at all and I can honestly say that my FJ seems to handle a bit better now. They looked good to me and the price was excellent as well. So far I've been getting lots of compliments on the new wheels. I think it looks great with the truck's color.

Re: my SandStorm got some new shoes!!!

Yeah, looks good. What is the offset/backspacing on those wheels? I know they are 10 inches wide....but they look like they are sticking out of the wheel wells a little bit. I really like that look. That's why I bought Spidertrax hub adapters......I just haven't installed them yet.

they are 20x10. 4.5 backspacing. -25mm offset. I like the look of the wheel/tire sticking out of the body. it does give it a wider stance.

Re: my SandStorm got some new shoes!!!

thanks for the great comments fellas! next on my list is to install the leveling kit from Ready Lift. Also, all of the silver trim will be painted flat black. I guess the name of my build up is: Black & Tan...
after all of this is done, it'll be time to finally finish me stereo build. all i need are my subs and amps.
