New Wheels!

Bought a set of Power Wagon wheels a little while back and had em' chromed. What do you guys think? I wish someone made spacers to push them out a little to better match the way my Pythons looked.

I have switched over to 35" Pro-Comp All Terrains. I have them in 33" on my Pythons, and man what a difference as far as smoothness compared to the Coppers. I had been chasing a vibration problem for a while but when I got rid of the Coopers the vibration toned down about 90%.

How far are you wanting to move the wheel outward? It is very easy to make a spacer on a CNC mill and since it is fairly simple program I cannot imagine it would be too much. You may have to get longer studs, but as long as the wheel still registers on the center hub, you should be fine. Now if you are talking about inches, then no, the above is a really bad idea.
Make them out of aluminum, and measure the center hub acurately, the reduced weight of aluminum over steel will elininate any issue with balance.

Dude, keep the tires under the truck where they belong , looks good like it is,
and you steering geometry isn't messed up.

I see you have a levelling kit, do your 35's rub the control arms?
Some say they do, some say theu don't.
Are Power Wagon wheels the same offset as the normal stock alum wheels?

They look awesome!! I tried to find a set for my truck but settled for the polished '06 wheels instead.
