Looks good ! You should be able to get 305's on that..........Here's mine on 16" with 315's and with 4" of lift.

Are those the stock wheels on your rig? If so - do you have any issues with rubbing? If not how did you resolve it, am assuming that those are the 7" wheels with 4.5 back spacing and 0mm offset. When I mounted even the 285s on there I rubbed on the leafs at full turn.

Those look like Weld Typhoons to me, or something similar, but not stockers.

JMM - your X is one of the first vehicles I've seen with DC-1's on that I've actually liked. Never cared much for those wheels, but they look perfect on your rig.

They are Typhoons...4.5" backspace but 10" wide.....they do not hit the springs.....and never have.....I did have to modify the inner fender in the rear with a heat gun.....and move the fron air dam be low the bumper as far forward as possible.

Thanks for the complement! I was a bit concerned about how they would look but it turned out pretty nice.

Yea - they looked to deep for stock wheels but and ngineer confirmed they are the Typhoons at 10". If I have troubles with the 305s (when I move to them so I can get the Es back on there) will look at those.
