Some updated pics of my truck and wifey's Denali. Finally worked a deal on the crapperbox Element she had to get the Denali. It's got a 3/4 drop and 22" U2-55's. My truck has the Rough Country 7.5" lift, 22X12 Ion Forged Terminator wheels, and 35x12.50 toyo Open Country M/T's.















And another little project I've been working on.....

The truck is 4WD, and yes, I had to go that high to clear 35's. 1 thing though, because I bought 12" wide wheels, it doesn't clear them too well. These NNBS trucks has some screwed up fenderwells. Most people still have to trim a lot out of the bumper and inner fenderliners so they won't rub.

Those rims on your truck look awsome, its good to see someone actually put nice rims and tires on a truck not the usual garbage.

It's probably the offset of the rims. Mine do that on my truck but not quite as much.

Also, I don't think he has the truck anymore. Sweet looking F-250 in its place if I remember correctly.

The F-250 was sold, then bought the GMC, lifted it, sold it, now have the CTS-V and Denali.

The GMC did have 2" wheel spacers under the rear wheels. It also helps that those wheels are 22X12 with a -25mm offset (IIRC).

It came before the GMC, and that couldn't have been too soon. It rode pretty harsh and wifey was pregnant at the time. We took 2 2.5 hour roadtrips pulling the boat with that truck and we both get pretty worn out from riding in it. It pulled like nobody's business though.

How do you like those Toyo Mt's??? Thought about getting them along with XD Monsters for my Duramax this summer.

I've had 5 or 6 sets of the Toyo M/T's in all different sizes. They've all been great. Balanced almost perfectly (even 37's), pretty quiet, and got pretty good mileage out of them. A customer stopped by with a set of 33's last night on his 1/2 ton and they had 15K miles on them, looked to be about half-tread life left.
