Painted black steelies on BFGoodrich KO2 245/65/17

[TB84]

I get no rubbing at all there is actually decent amount of room but I won't go any bigger. Alot of other people have this set up now and no one has reported any rubbing

Thanks for replying! Sorry, I mispoke-been doing way too much searching. The poster with the 265/60/18s shows full lock and notes rubbing. I've seen the others with 245s but knew those BFGs have deep tread and wasn't sure if it made difference. Thanks again.

I like the look with the all terrain tires. Without those tires I think they would look too much like generic black steel wheels missing their hubcaps, or spare tires.

What products did you use to achieve that gloss black on your steelies, if you don't mind me asking?

Sandpaper and gloss black spray paint

If/when I get my XL White Hybrid thinking about spraying my steelies carbonized gray - any photoshop experts out there to help me visualize how the carbonized gray would look against the Oxford White?

Wow, those look great!

Jim, Have you had any clearance issues with that tire size?

Did mine nearly the same... Just need to touch up where some painted came off on the edge during install and paint the wheel weights also....was conflicted about white lettering out or not but glad I choose to show the white... Led smoke third brake light bed liner and cover and I'm done

We are twins now. I've got the bed liner already just going to get a roll up cover then I'm done.

Looks great!

I can live without cruise control, but I can't live with the plain steelies. Based on this, seriously considering changing my carbonized gray hybrid XLT order to a barebones Hybrid XL.

Awkward: I don't have a garage and I street park (more reason to buy cheap!!!). So I have no space to safely jack up the truck and take the wheels off for painting. Would a shop be able to do that without charging an arm and a leg? I'd probably spring for powder coating. Or maybe just order a set of the black steelies someone linked.......

Some people wanted to see what it looked like with the original hub cap covers so here they are. I'll be going with these hup caps I bought off Amazon.

Have a link to those caps? I think I might do the same

Awesome set up! Some chrome lugs with a chrome center cap like this would look pretty sweet too.

Damn. Bravo. Amazing what a little black paint and some beefy tires will do!!

I can see a set of '65 VW Bug dog-bowl chrome hubcaps in the middle of the black wheels.

That would be a nice look!
