to recap,
front 17x8 with 255/50's
rear 17x9.5 with 275/50's

That's sweet! It looks really good. If I had caught this thread earlier I would've told you to get them then. I hope someone decides to trade with me!

Wheels look great James. So do the side skirts.
I think part of the :rainbow: problem with the back is that everything is white except the bumper. If your side pieces were still chrome it would look different.

It looks like a totally different X. I really like it. Are those your old tires or the ones already attached to those rims?

yep. thats them. my wife says im bi-polar. i dont do **** to my truck for 6 months, then i work on it 14hrs. a day with hardly no sleep. lol
thanks for all of the compliments guys. i wasnt 100% sure before, but once i saw them on there i knew i made the right decision. they look SOOO much better in person. the pics really arent that great.
Silverblade- yes, those are my old Nitto's.
Crankcase- im not gonna paint my roof rack. its getting shaved this summer.
98fordX2435- yea, i know it would look alot better if the bumper itself was white too. i just dont wanna put in extra effort cuz i got plans for that end of the truck soon...
Hartman- thanks, and no news on the Ranger arms. im gonna call 'em if they arent here by Thursday. im pissed now, because everyone at work last night asked me if i raised it back up. it looks so much taller with the rockers instead of the running boards... although the rockers look 100 times better.
to everyone else, thanks again!

this thread must have been classified top secret, because there were a bunch of people who said if i would saw this earlier (or something along the lines) i woulda voted yes too!
Well im even slower than the rest of y'all, but i really like em!! Your front end could use a little paint like ur back end got, but i know you already got some plans up there anyway
Anyway, looks good man!!
