20's are on!

[Hartman]

After a battle with Tire Rack, I finally received my tires today. I loaded everything up and headed to get everything mounted. Here are the pics!

20x10 Limited 208s
275/40/20 Pirelli PZero Rosso Assemetrico

My homemade steering stops work great, no rubbing in the front with a 10 inch wide rim!

I love the tires, IMO the profile is perfect for a lowered Explorer, even though they cost an arm and a leg.

I will have better pics tomorrow.

looks awesome man.. what happened with tirerack?

 

[espnfreak]

tirerack sucks, i will never buy from them even if they do have decent prices, i just heard complaints after complaints about their service

 

[Hartman]

Thanks for the compliments guys.

I didn't have a totally bad experience with Tire Rack. They were very willing to work around my $500/day limited on my debit card. The problem was, they wanted to call me at work and verify the number since my home number is unlisted. I waited and waited for the call at work and they never called. So, I call the next day and the lady says she'll go ahead and have them shipped. Next day, I never get the shipping confirmation. So I call again, the lady says she needs me to call at work again. This is two days after my payment cleared. I was not very happy about this. I had to make a special trip to work just so they could call me. Maybe I was acting unreasonable, but they have my damn CC info, the payment cleared, and I called them from my home number, so what more verification do you need?

Anyway, I got them today and headed straight for the tire shop.

The only problem I had with Tire Rack was when I ordered 4 directional wheels one of them came in one way and the other 3 in another. I had to spend $15 out of pocket to get the wheel re-mounted and re-balanced. No big deal but then again $15 is $15. They say they were going to re-imbursed me for it. We'll see if the credit shows up in my next statement. Other than that, their customer service seems to be okay.

Here's a rear end pic. They don't look very wide in the pic for some reason, but trust me they are wide. You can also see the tread pattern.

Like I said, I will have much better pics tomorrow.

 

[Hartman]

Off the hook man yer truck is lookin absolutely awesome....rollpan looks clean and very nice and the profile of the truck looks pretty good too...

Constructive Critisizm: Lower the truck just a tad more the wheel wells just look a LIL empty..

And the rims...those are very close to what i am looking at and they are VERY nice.....

You want to be next months featured whip on my website?

Did you shave down the wheel well part of the front bumper a little or something...looks different....maybe a front bumper cover would liven it up a lil....just a suggestion...

 

[james t]

its lowered 3". at this point, he cant lower it anymore without bagging it... unless he did the torsion flip- which will chew tires up quickly and ride like @ss.

im sure he has things planned for the future.
