Awesome Eddy, would love to see them...

BTW, I tried calling you a few times but never got anyone or a machine... jsut ringing off the hook. The EZ is in (same not it got to me actually) and it works great. Thanks again for that.

Do you have a lift at all? I may have to step up to 35's from my 33's when it comes time for new rubber.

Glad you are enjoying it Bubba. You got to see this set up, looks great.
In the past I tried:
265/70/17 stock 17x8 steel
285/70/17 Toyo/BFG 17x8 steel/forged
295/70/17 Nitto 17/8 forged
305/55/20 Nitto 20x10 sports metal revolver
Now:
35/12.5/20 Toyo MT 20x9 Stargaze (This is it for me) The off-set on this ones is perfect.
No need for fender flares.

Name of the wheels is STARGAZER TYPE 140

You can see them at:

ultrawheel.com

go to the bottom of the page and click on ULTRA
left top click on 2nd page
is around the center of the page.

For the tires check them out at toyo.com
They are Open Country MT.
They look very aggressive but are smooth and make as little noise as an all terrain.
They are 10 ply

Aren't those pretty much the same as the Nitto Terra Grapplers? Or is that the more aggresive tread? I think the next set of rubber I get is gonna be the more agressive ones...

Bubba, the tires like the Nitto Grapplers are call Toyo Open Country ALL TERRAIN and yes they are very much the same tire with a different edges.
The Toyo Open Country MT (mudd terrain) is what you are looking for.
They look and are more aggressive but smooth like a good all terrain

If you check: Koreperformance.com
Click on racing.... and you will see them in action. (1000 Baja race)
They use the 37x12.5x17 with the dodge forged wheel (that answers the question about 17")

I figure out how to download the pictures. Check my gallery

Eddy -

Did you get your dealership to adjust your speedo? How many RPMs/mile are those tires turning?

Nice looking setup!

2" Leveling kit from revtek and 4 bilstein shocks (with the leveling kit the shocks are a must)

Speedo is adjusted at 592 Revs X Mile.

Another good thing about it is that the NV5600 really works like a 6 speed now.
1800 rpms at 65 mph is very good. No longer looking for 7th gear.
It is almost like the NV5600 was made for a large diameter tire.

Sorry for the excitement but I used a lot of time and money looking for the right setup. (My wife is relief to) Haa.
