Got my 37's (pics) 56K be warned

I finally got my adapters for the Dodge rims so I slapped on my 37's. I have to say, I am a little dissapointed. They don't look as big as I thought they would, to me it actually "looks" smaller even though it is taller. But here's my Ranger with 37's on Dodge rims. Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Anyone else think it doesn't look 'as' big or is it just me?

The Dodge rims came from a Suzuki Samurai it'sthe 5x5.5 lug pattern. These were going on that until we abandoned the project. So, I just bought adapters and slapped them on.

We got a 01 grand cherokee to replace the sami so eventually I'll get some 16x10's that'll be interchangeable between the Ranger and the Cherokee.

It actually aint too bad. It'll still get you up to speed quick enough. It's noticable but I ain't worried about it. Biggest thing is braking. That just plain sucks.

That looks mean! Did you paint your grille silver, and then change it back to the dark shadow gray? It looks different in your avitar.

Avitar is PS'ed, I haven't had time to get it painted yet, but that's the next thing on my list.
And about the lugs on the Jeep, I'm not completely sure about that lug pattern but I did swap out my stock 16's to a buddy of mine who had a grand cherokee, maybe they changed the lugs right around 99-00 but I'll check and see for sure.
