Wheel Wednesday

.

I forgot to post it yesterday, got them Christmas Eve
delivered free & mounted free all the way 'from Wisconsin',
at www.CustomOffset.com

Finally got my new wheels & tires, mounted on my
1999 Dakota SLT Magnum 4wd
5) LT285/75R16 Falken Rubitrek ATW4
10 ply (good for airing down in mud rocks or especially the snow)
& I went with a 16" a 1" bigger diameter wheel,
so I could get the exact right sized tires
on 5) 16x8" Ultra 50, 5 spoke machined wheels, with clear coat,
need/wanted a spare, $2,500+ in total

I will make a mount for the spare in the bed, at an angle bolted to the floor style
sort of like a trophy truck, tires too big for the OE spare mt., under the rig

actual measured 32.5" x 11" girth w/10.5" of tread (advert. as 32.8" & 11.2")
couldn't fit any bigger tire, without a lift, I didn't want to do that

to replace the org. Factory
15x8" Alum painted Grey 5 spoke wheels,
a size bigger then stock 11.5"x32" wheels/tire
actually measured about a 30.5" diam. & 11.2" wide girth, on an 8" wide wheel
& 11"+ tread, 41k miles Toyo Open Country's, still lots of tread, no cracks or ballooning etc.
just 25 years old, it was time

for comparison

Nice wheels! But why are all your photos overexposed? Everything seems to have too much brightness, you might want to check your camera settings.
I suck as a photographer, & it is always midday sunny
when taking the shots
it's a point & shoot digital, 21 mgb $99 cheapo

thanks

It's not the sunlight, but I figured you were using a digital cam instead of a cellphone...most cellphones do a good job of auto-correcting for brightness. There might be a setting in the cam's menus to adjust for brightness.
