Okay as promised got a few pics real quick this afternoon and got them off the camera. Excuse the dirty truck and all the pics just wanted to give you guys and gals some different angles. I will try and clean it up and take new pictures soon. I also had them pull the stock sensors out of the factory wheels and put them into a DIY air tube I made today and its working great no more light in the dash.
So let me know what you all think of the new look.
I wanted to give some of you here a idea of were its rubbing, so here is a few pics to show were the tires rub. The ties are Nitto Terra Grapplers in a LT325/60R20 D 121R (inflated size of 35.12 X12.91). So they are considered Large 35" tires since most 35" are in the 34" range actually and would probably clear alot of the small rubbing I got with my setup. I corrected the front inner wheel wells with a heat gun a some light pushing to get them pushed back (you could also remove the lower plastic if you wanted) I also corrected one of the body mounts last weekend and will do the other side tomorrow. It involves cutting, welding and grinding if you want to keep that factory look, which I prefer but if you don't mind a un-finsihed look you could just grind or cut the corner off and you be good too. Also the mud flaps were removed as you can see in the pictures.
Front rub ....
Body mount ....
Well hope all this information is helpfull to others here....

Yeah had the paint the mirror caps on my to do list for a while now, maybe I get around to them this summer. I even have some paint left from my doing my door handles so just need to do it one day. But now not sure if I want to with these wheels it kinda flows with them better than the stock wheels... So many things I want to do just not enough cash or time for it all at once. spent enough this month already.
Glad to hear your rubbing is minor with such wide tires. The lift and wheel/tire combo looks good. How badly are your MPGs suffering with the new wheel/tire combo? Be careful over those speed bumps at the mall. *lol* Seriously, if you stuff the front I think it will make one helluva nasty sound.

I would have bet my paycheck that the Blue Streak would look like crap with black rims, but you proved me wrong. Your truck looks sweet !!!!!!
Yeah about 2 weeks ago I would of too, thats why orginaly I was going to go with a all chrome wheel but once I had them test fit these on my truck with a tire I knew it was going to look good, at least to me it does. I still don't think an all black wheel would look good.
Okay now send your paycheck on over and it help offset my costs for these puppies.

There I go starting a new trend for other Blue Streak owners....
I hope youre happy...do you know how much money youve cost me! First, the painted door handles, then the leveling kit (which i just ordered) and now wheels/tires...sigh...
Looks outstanding!
What are the specs on your wheels (ie offset/width)?
What type and size of lift is that? Black headlight mod looks great. I was curious if it looked good on the blue streak metallic.
Truxxx 3/1 I posted a link a few post back ...
