Everest Trailhunter Build : KMC Riot 18x9 +18 offset, Falken Wildpeak A/T4W 285/70/18, stock suspension

[Stormie_SS]

I haven't done much for upgrades but one I knew for sure was going to be new wheels to get rid of the bronze stock wheels. The tires rub on the plate behind the passenger front where the mudflap would be. I've removed the felt piece that covers that plate and pinned back the felt on the bottom corner of the front bumper.

Next up will be pre-ordering the Westcott preload collar lift.

So far with the limited driving I've done since install, the vibration I was having in the floor/seats seems to be nearly non-existent. Hopefully that remains the case after some more miles.

Edited to add photos of where the tires are rubbing and the felt piece I removed. For the felt at the front of the bottom of bumper we unscrewed it and pushed it back and drilled a new hole and put the screw back in.

Build so far:
ReadyLift hood struts
JDM Horns
Lasfit Floor Mats
Ceramic window tint
KMC Riot 18x9 +18 offset
Falken Wildpeak A/T4W 285/70R18 - Load C

Does the spare tire fit the spare area under the truck?

Don't know because I kept the stock spare for now.

Aren't those tires 34" or am I missing something? 34" won't fit without rubbing unless you make some mods (however minor) or a collar lift on the Trailhunter?

That is correct, they are 34’s.
