Super Single Michelin X One 445/50 R22.5 on 1st gen D350

I know there was a thread asking about this but I can't find it now. This is the first truck I've actually seen with these wheels/tires! It was for sale on Ebay. Looks like he went with the Michelin X One 445/50 R22.5 on the rear and super single tires on floats in the front. I would've just rather seen standard 22.5 steers on the front if anything. NO idea how they lifted the front end on that RWD/2wd D350 Truck. Looks like a ton of fender cutting too.

it doesnt look that bad, tires and wheels are a little big, i wish it was a 4X4, How much is one of those tires? The tire and wheel combo have to be worth more than the truck, i wonder how it rides? pepe i like your 19.5's better, it would make a sweet DRAG truck hahah

i'd like to see pics of the front end myself. i can only think of custom arms and spindles to make that lift possible. coil spring spacers and longer shocks would be an obvious guess. standard duals would look better as you said nick. the rears could be kept the super singles but with a set of low profile tires would help it out.

an epic body lift will get you where you need to be

3" body lift + coil spacers and aftermarket coils= front lift i'm sure .

something along them lines

Needs to be 4x4 and about 6" more lift to look right

I think the Michelin X One 445/50 R22.5 is like $1100 but I haven't bought them for a about a year, maybe more now. Buy the truck sell the wheel tire combo and come out on top.

looks retarded, but some people have a need to attract attention to themselves.

That is a good point to buy the truck and sell the tires to get a chunk of change but I think the buy it now is almost 15K

I have a few more pics... Doesn't look like a body lift either... hmmm

Be careful about calling this stupid looking or non-functional. I did so on a previous thread discussing the installation of oversize ericksons on a 1st gen and ended up offending a bunch of people.
