Default 30" Destination M/T's installed w/no lift

Got a new set of Firestone Destination M/T's installed.
30x9.50/15 on Cragar V5's 15x8 w/3.75 backspace.
Had to take the sawzall to the front bumper end caps a little bit.
Definitely no offroad till I get my 2" lift on.

Reefmike, don't mean to criticize but your flares are ashy as hell, painting them black would have your rig looking new again.

It looks good, But I have 235/15's on in Wisconsin for the last two years, And I've to replace every fender liner from the snow packing in there. I'll admit that they could have became brittle just from age. And I do have a new set, getting ready to install this week. I guess I shouldn't complain. Considering it only has 67,000 on it.

Best friend is a manager deal - Brand new with road hazard $400.
The rims were $42 at Summit Racing. Shipping was only like $12.
