Where can I get this setup and how much did it set you back if you don’t mind sharing?

I ordered off RimzOne. Great company & communication. All in with lugs & TPMS, mounted & balanced & shipped it was $2637. Not bad since I can sell my OEM setup for at least $1500 without even trying. Tires alone for the 21” rims are like $300/each and mine only have 1400 miles on everything.

Looks good! Any rubbing? What is the offset of the wheel?

Your set up looks killer!!!!!!!

Looks fantastic - more like a Jeep!

Thanks guys! Im getting a touch of rubbing of the wheel well liner around full lock. Somewhat surprisingly, im nowhere near the steering knuckle (mostly due to heavy offset of 1mm vs OEM of 50mm or w/e it is. I think Fuel makes the same rims on a 20mm offset which may be a bit better on the wheel well liner (but perhaps a bit closer to the steering knuckle). Either way Im super happy with the setup. A lil liner rub is expected when you push the boundaries, and its saving me $300 on wheel spacers since the offset is so radical. Here’s some pics of knuck & liner rub

any issues in park mode with that offset? pic in park mode would be awesome. the setup looks amazing, great job!

Truck is stuffed into garage for ceramic coat but just so happens to be in entry/exit to clear roof rack lol. No issues with lowest susp setting but havent driven far with it (but neither will/should you lol)

Just so folks understand how huge this is (+1.7” fender clearance)! I wouldn’t have thought an ET01 offset would clear the wheel well, but apparently it does. Now I’m rethinking my conservative ET35 on 285’s that would have me sitting out a measly +0.8” further, lol.

You know what's funny? My tires are actually 10.7-10.8" wide (if I remember correctly) so the calculator's presumption of 10.4" is actually probably narrower than my setup haha

good to know, esp for folks who don’t get such an aggressive offset! I’d be curious to know if your section width is actually more like 11.1” (couldn’t tell if you measured or just quoted MFG spec). I know the tool got it wrong but going off the manufacture spec (Nitto), the ‘measuring rim’ for your tires is 8”, and the rule of thumb is you go up/down 0.2” for every 0.5” of rim width difference from the measuring rim. So with your rim being 18x9 that should add 0.4” of section width.

Also, while we’re taking specs on this setup, it looks like you’re adding 1.8” positive scrub. Did you get things realigned after upgrading…e.g. checking the steering inclination/king pin angle. I’d be really curious to know if it’s adjustable on the GCLs.

After install, I took a quick measurement of tire width on the road and it looked like a smidge over 11”. TBH once i saw it was definitely at least 11” i gave up since i was only curious if it was greater or less than 11.

RE alignment, no i just installed at home a couple days ago. In my 15-20 miles so far, the truck tracks straight as an arrow (maybe straighter than OEM which i noticed had a tendency to veer ever so slightly to the right if memory serves me). Will do a full week or driving (approx. 250+ miles) and report back if alignment seems necessary. In the meantime, a few more pics in entry/exit & OR2

Im testing new links for the company air links so your hack should be avail sometime soon
