Like the tiltle says I am buying a new wheel and tire package. I no what I want I would just like someone to confirm the fit.

Truck: 2008 FX4 torsion bar crank

Wheels: Pro Comp X treme Alloy 8069
16" x 8"

Tires: Goodyear Duratrac 285/75/16

I will post pics when they are installed
Thanks

 

should work, I ran 285's on my 02 with a tbar crank.

 

ya they will fit. Im still kicking myself for not getting 285s

 

Thanks guys. I am ordering tommorrow. I will get some pics when they are installed.

 

As promised here are some pics. Sorry about the quality I will post new when I get some. Enjoy

 

Damn dude thats bad ***.Needs a little more lift in my mind tho id throw a BL on it

 

looks pretty good my man. alittle stuffed but it looks good.

 

I like the look. Don't put a body lift on it

 

do the pre key mod and shackles.

 

your truck looks really good. I also have 285/75R16 Goodyear Tires (Goodyear MTR's old style) on 16x8 wheels and really like the look. I put the Belltech shackles on at the the 1" lift setting and cranked the t-bars for 2" lift. Check out my gallery/album for some pics. Its my sons truck and he is going for the "rally truck" look as he calls it... so that's the direction that we are headed with it... cool truck, thanks for posting the pics!

 

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I am super pleased with the way it looks accept my truck is no longer a truck. I have to be careful not to rub. Full crank left and right no problem but big bumps and bumps in corners very mild rub. I don't think I could take it off road this way.

It is very stuffed. Over speed bumps I have to slow down and that is not what a truck is for.

Sorry to disappoint but I ordered the PA body lift before reading your guys reply's

I should have but the body lift is on the way.

That truck looks great.

 

Well, since the BL is already on it's away. Please use gap guards. Trucks look so bad with huge gaps in the fenderwells. Since you have a hitch, please correct it. Lose the tailpipe tip while you're at it

Just a few suggestions

 

Tires and wheels look great! That'll look sweet after the BL!

Looks great. One thing that will accent your new black wheels; painting your rear drums black.

 

looks great ,might go this way to,i all raedy got the rear shackel installed and t-bars fully cranked whit your new experience do you think 285-75-will be good on mine i only do some light wheeling


nice choice of truck by the way.

 

dezranger all ready talked about it ,but didn't said if it rubb (got replacement torsion keys whit shackel)
still want to ride it hard ,on and off the street

 

Thanks for all the tips. After the install is done I will correct everything. I am going to fab up some gap guards, fix the hitch and i might weld in a new elbow to turn the exhaust back up to the body.

 

Thanks. Its on my list of things to do

 

Nice looking truck, makes me wish I had found a black FX4 instead of DSG. Black wheels with white letters out look great. Looks alot like Fullscales truck.

 

After a week of full driving I would defiantly say my setup is not ideal.
I live downtown Toronto and my driving style is "Get out of my way you Idiot"
I hop curbs, hit speed bumps, do u-turns and run over cyclists. lol
The body lift will put me back on the war path.

The shackles will help but the problem is in the front. Without a body lift I will say pre-key is a must. It does rub over speed bumps. Hope this helps

 

nothing wrong with a bodylift! done properly they look fine.

you could probably get away with prekeys and preblock, or shackle..

when i prekey'd my 08 i gained 2" w/ a mild tbar crank.. and ditch the 08 block (1.25") for a real 2.5"!! then after that just bodylift it, because bigger is usually better!
great looking truck so far!

 

tanks for the info

 

Looks good. Can't wait to see the BL and/or the PK/aal/shackle combo
