New wheels and tires finally arrived!

[Daniel Worm]

I originally had a set of Anthracite Fuel Blocks on order, but since they kept getting delayed, I switched to the Fuel Coverts in Anthracite. 17x9, +1 offset with 35x12.5 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. I went back and forth for months on wheels and colors, and ultimately decided that I didn't want an all-black wheel. These wheels look amazing in-person with the Ruby Red. My only gripes with the Coverts are 1) they are really hard to pick-up because the spoke openings are tiny and 2) the recess holes for the lug nuts are super tight, so a thin-wall 3/4" impact socket is in-order. Other than that, the Anthracite color is darker in-person, and I think they match the factory trim really well. The +1 offset is also perfect, and I have zero rubbing in the Starbucks parking lot. I also wasn't a huge fan of Fuel's center caps, so I cleaned up the hubs, painted them, and left the caps off. I think it look more aggressive this way, but that's my personal opinion I guess. Got the setup from Custom Offsets for just over $3k USD which included TPMS and black lug nuts.

looks awesome, I have the same wheel in black, cleaning them are a PIA, caps off look good, might have to steal that

I just washed my truck this past weekend, and I'm disappointed that the Coverts hold water by the beadlock ring just like my old Fuel Trophy's did. I wish they would put drainage holes on these things.

leaf blower works great for this kind of thing..

Nice choice, the mesh style wheels are definitely making a presence. Im going mesh now also with black rhinos

Great point! I was thinking about this as I had to re-wipe numerous drips on my truck as I'm trying to dry it.

Yeah. I looked hard at the Black Rhino lineup, but their lack of anthracite-type colors made me look elsewhere. I really like the Kelso, but the battleship gray would have looked weird.

Curious but at what PSi are you running your Nittos?

Looks great. I have the same Fuel Covert setup, with 20” wheels and 35 Nitto Ridge Grapplers, but actually prefer the look of the 17-18” better now. May make the switch one day…

45 psi. They are Load E, so they are rated for like up to 60 psi or something, but they ride really well at 45 psi.
