Derk,
Diggin the rims guy! How much do the stick out from the fenders? I have the same original rims you do - same size tires too. I want a wider profile to them. Did you notice a big difference when switching?

Replied on my thread on the Before/After board... keep in mind that the 589's have a negative offset, more so than the stock rims... 3.625" backspacing or something like that, whatever the standard offset is...

Hows the ride on the freeway with those muds. I'm thinking of getting muds but i do alot of
freeway driving. Is it worth the extra bucks?

They ride good, kinda have a loud hum to them, but its not bothersome... hurt my gas mileage by a couple mpg, though. My OHV 4.0 doesn't like to work harder to turn over the 31's.
