Recently placed deep dish 20" rim's and low profile tires along with installing the rear lip of of the body kit, had trailer hitch installed that I finally decided to take off. I have the MB factory chrome 17" ML rim's and tires with 90% tread I'm thinking about selling? May do a little something with the bumper grill? Anyway here it is.

I like the red rag you used to cover your plates.lol JK man.
NICE TRUCK!
Me too!:D

That will attract Members' curiosity as to your registration number like a red rag to a bull (pun intended):D

Love the look of the truck sly!

What size tyres do you have on there?

LOL, okay my bad about one of my garage rags. I have 20" tires, was concerned about the speedometer being off with the larger tires but it was fine. I have to admit the truck rides smoother now. I may place those chrome roof rails on the truck, unsure where to find a set?

For My Mercedes has them for like $450... or if you are brave, you can strip the paint off your existing ones and either polish them to a shine or lightly sand for a brushed look. (I as well as a few other members have done it... search around for instructions.)

FAR888,
I'm just all over the place sorry bro. The size of my 20's are 275/40/20. I didn't have to use spacers. I've seen some ML's with 22's which didn't do it for me plus I've heard that the ride is not good. The rims I have were not my first choise I have larger calipers due to my truck being all wheel drive and only certain rims (in my price range) would work.

Thanks SlySlayDog - I'm thinking of getting 20" aftermarket wheels and I'm debating on tyre sizes - I'm not lowering the truck and I dont want the sidewall profile to be too low resulting in an unsightly wheel well gap.

Yours looks great so I just wondered.:thumbsup:

ps.

Love your username man!
