I like the tires....I will check back with you in 30k or so to see how they wear. Hopefully you drive much more than me...I have 17k on my BFG MT's and have always been wondering if there is anything else out there comparable!

That looks great. It has a real clean, proportional look to it.. In the end thats what matters. A lot of people screw up when adding a lift and tires and it just doesn't look right. Congrats!! That is done just right and looks really good, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
I have the Nittos, I only have about 250 miles on them but they seem really soft. There are actually black marks on the road in front of my house from where the tires have laid down so much rubber when I turn in the driveway. I don't expect to get much more than 10k miles out of them, so keep us posted on how your tires wear because I bet I will need a new set before long.
You may consider fender flares in the near future to keep you away from the carwash and save your paint as well.

Coolslice,
Thanks for your feedback on the wheels/tyres/left. Im very happy with the outcome, and once I've done a few miles I'll be able to comment on the wear, ride, noise factors.
I definately need to get guards, as you canb see they do stick out! Think I'll also need mudflaps for added protection.
That is probably my only criticism to date - they stick out a little too far, but once flares are fitted Im sure it will look right.
Cheers,
Batts

Thanks everyone for all the replies and pics!!! .
Batts: I'm really liking those tires- I may have to get those. What brand and size wheels do you have?
Again, thanks everyone.

Be careful!! I have been looking for wheels to take the tires pressures of load range "E" tries. The tires are rated for 3415 # at 80 PSI. Most aluminum wheels I have found are rated ONLY to 60PSI and not he same weight ratings. ALCOA is the only one I found that could take the PSIs and the weight.
