Installed Nitto Nomad Grapplers on 17x8” RRW wheels

[Adam_B]

I wasn’t a fan of the wheels that came with the BAP by design and lack of contrast with the rest of the vehicle. After looking at many different options, I settled on Relations Race Wheels 17” RR5-S in matte bronze. I chose 245/65r17 Nitto Nomad Grapplers as that size seemed to have a nice fit with stock and lifted suspension after looking through photos on here. The tires have been great so far, but another test will come with more significant snowfall and ice.

Looks great.

Adam, Your Bronze wheels looks Awesome! Tires are too.
I have 265/60/18 AT tires with no rubbing on stock suspension.

These ones don't look bad at all! The Ridge Grapplers look awful but these Nomad's have a nice sidewall that isn't blocky. I suspect they are on par with the tread of the Wildpeak Trails and Open Country's? A little less than the AT3/W's and KO2's?

Good looking setup overall! Glad you like it!

Those look great!
I really like the RRW wheels and was moments away from pulling the trigger but their shipping price to Canada put that idea to bed, $442 for shipping is nuts compared to literally any other supplier (free to $150)

There is such a thing as too much black on a vehicle, especially when the vehicle IS black. Your new bronze rims give just the right amount of “subtle” contrast, and both colors work well together. Nice job.

Looks great really glad I ordered black after seeing this.

Those might be my next tire. I was going to go with Trail Terrains or Destination XT 2s but they seem to have a narrower profile and end up looking skinny. Nomads look great.

I just checked out the wheels and that is an incredible sale price.

It totally changes the look and stance. I like it. The black on black just doesn't go well. Great choice. You got me thinking about these wheels and tires for my Alto blue AWD Lariat.

Are they lighter or heavier than the stock wheels? If they were lighter than stock XLT wheels I would consider them since I took a hit to mpg with 245/65 Wildpeak AT Trails. Been trying to find the stock XLT wheel weight online but haven't been able to.

I personally love the black ones and the bronze ones! I have the XL hybrid with steelies and I don't mind the look but would love to upgrade. What are you planning on doing with your black wheels? I bet they would look nice against my cactus gray

Bronze looks amazing, well done!

how much do the stock rims weigh?

I don’t know a thing about tires but what made you pick the grapplers over the other commonly mentioned tires on here?
