I know you guys are going to hate it!

You paid or are paying for your $40-50k truck. Do whatever you want to it. Fact is we all don't live in the desert. The Raptor is a versatile truck in almost every driving condition. If it is going to be a street queen so be it. My opinion on the road the Raptor, has one of the nicest ride quality of ANY truck. If it is be driven through Missouri mud and clay, then by all means put a heavy winch and super swampers on it. In the snow, heavily siped all terrain tires on it, that would normally cake up in a puddle.

Ford designed it to be a desert pre runner and tested it as one. That does not mean you are creating sacrilege by adapting it to your enviroment, or taste. It is still a Ford SVT Raptor, and customization of it by enthusiast is what these forums is all about.

So are those tires really only 33's? I think if you had at least kept the factory 35" overall diameter they'd look 100x's better.

It's not the wheels that's the problem - it's the tires. yuck.
