Looks really good. Any pics more staight on of the front fender to show how little the tires stick out past the fender? It can’t be much as it is hard to tell from the pics.
Are the Falken’s S/T Z05’s?
The wheel sizing and fitment look great.
Yes. 305/35R24 S/TZ 05 model tires. Very little hum. Much quieter than the NT420s but still a noticeable hum if you turn off everything and just listen. I'm beginning to relaize that once you breach the 24" wheel size I don't think there is any tire that will have 0 noise. I was on some other forums and it seems that everyone has a little bit of tire noise at 22" and up.
Another thing nice thing about the 2 Craves over the KMCs is that the truck isn't as sluggish. There was a HUGE difference in performance going from my OEM 18"s to the KMC...night and day difference. It was like having a trailer attached to the truck. I borrowed a freinds Escalade 22's while waiting for the 2 Craves to come in and those wheels made the truck perform just like my factory 18's. When the 2 Craves went on, it was slighty more sluggish but no where near how bad the KMCs were. It could be a combination of the NT420's and the wheels but it was pretty bad. These wheels are rated at 50lbs. I was considering DUB Futures that came in at 45lbs but they only were available in +30 offset...same as the KMCs. The +15 offset makes the difference - no touching the sway bar on lock to lock. As I said earlier, I probably could have avoided the fender well rub had I gone with a 295 tire but too many "craters" on NJ roads made me go for more meat.
I'm very pleased with how the truck handles, rides, and feels now. Down the road I will get a little stiffer spring for up front and maybe a shock that isn't as forgiving to further reduce the body roll but considering the size and weight of the truck and how I can carve corners now, I'm very happy.
