Gen 2 SCAB makeover…totally not ripping off Geoff’s 2.5 build!

I thought the bead locks were 37# and the peasant wheels were 34-ish?
I know my Motegis run 24# per so I’m at a minimum 10# per wheel lighter. It’s gonna be tough to appreciate on a 3 ton truck though.
They are still a M*ther F*cker to change or get up into the bed.

Yup … peasant wheels for me!



I actually really liked them when I had them on, and a big reason I had those Venomrex wheels on there the past couple years. I just like that general ‘snowflake’ pattern on a wheel.

Just a quick test fit… Had no concerns, but wanted to be 100% sure on hub centricity and brake caliper clearance:



And I need to nut punch whoever put those lug nuts on the last time…had to be the wrench monkeys gorillas at my local Discount Tire when I had the current set rotated and balance after my road trip this past summer.

Had to be close to 200 ft-lb…I couldn’t budge them with my 16” breaker bar. First time I’ve had to break out the 3’ breaker bar in a very long time.

im with you on the lightweight tire debate! I'm planning to use a lightweight set of 35s for the street. and another set of wheels with 37s for the dirt. my ~60lb 35" tire short list:

Continental TerrainContact AT 315/70/17 -- Looks lame, drives amazing on the street. turn-in and direction change at speed is unmatched for a land-yacht raptor. Overall braking is exceptional. Wet handling is the best truck tire ive used.

Yokohama Geolander AT4 315/70/17 -- just released. very interesting, have not tried it yet.

K03 -- interested to try the new-new. I did not love the K02 like so many others

Goodyear Wrangler MT 315/70/17 -- bronco OEM tires, had them on our bronco. looks decent. handles ok, kinda meh.
