Yeah, 19.5's look good - but 22.5's are just too much. I guess if you want to "roll with your dub homies" and still have safe load capacity that's the solution.

yeah... i'm with you. 19.5 is about as big as i would go. that looks pretty good to me but 22.5's WOW too much for me.

I really wonder how long those would last off road in the rocks?????

Can you get lower profile tires for those rims?

Do they have any rims that spin when you're stopped? If so how much mud/snow is flung up by the spinning action?

Once I get my 12" air lift to act as hydraulics I should really be able to do some rock hopping!!

Finally what does Bling mean??


Yes T-7 goofy as....

Yes they have low profile tires for 22.5 wheels. Used on trucks all the time.

He says it's an AirAid Intake and I know on my 03 Hemi the AirAir was just a wall mounted on top of the stock airbox so it looked like that as well.

BTW, I don't think it's all that bad... except the lift/tire height ratio... would look better with eiter a 4" lift or some 265/75/22.5s or 255/75/22.5s.

On a side note, if you're looking to buy a Kawasaki... just check his other auctions and you could build one. lol

I have est. 390HP with no gauges... but that's at the crank. And I'm just too **** broke to get gauge.
