    I love Ballistic wheels. I have some Ballistic Wizards for my H3. Just saving up some cash to buy some tires to go with them.

    I picked the best pic to add to this thread

    Here are the Viscera 777 wheels with 285/50-20 Falken tires mounted on them.



    FWIW, these wheels wheren't totally bolt-on. I had to convert the front hub bolts from the allen-cap screw to hex, then grind off nearly half of their head profile for the wheels to hit the backing plate. (Longer studs and spacers would have been another option -- or machine shop to remove about 3/16" from the inside bore depth.)

    I also had to modify a bit of the wheel well. A bit of the front well edge was trimmed of and I had to "persuade" one screw on the backside [to intend further via use of a hammer].

    These say 31.3" on Falken's website. Kinda hard to see how 33"er's can fit without serious lift. FWIW, I cranked the front up an inch but put it back where it was. I was leaned toward the budget lift (spacers in the rear), but think I like it as-is.

    I do really like the big wheel on small truck look. My neighbor thinks it looks like a giant RC car.
