Topic: Help me choose new wheels from the Level 8 Pro series - Poll

[Riz98]

The bully pro is a clean looking wheel.  That would be my choice probably because I have wheels with circles right now and would want something different.  Be sure to post up some pictures when you get whatever you choose. 

Hey easy on the 8 hole.  I'm running the MT version on mine and I think they look pretty tough.

I would love to see the outer ring on your wheels painted in a dark bronze or gold.  My old Sti had gun metal black wheels with the gold Brembo brake calipers and that combination is unbeatable!!!!

Anyone got tools to trim the fender? I just got my xterra back from the shop after mounting my 285's on a set of Bully Pros and it's rubbing big time with a 2" lift and melt mod. The front tires rub on the rear fender at the bottom corner where I believe there is metal covered with the plastic liner. Can't even make a U turn or go up a drive way while turning. I'll try cranking my coil overs up to see if that'll help for now.

going up wont help at all, it's the lower offset of the wheels creating a larger arc.  trimming the metal is really the only thing you can do.

I got all the tool you'll need to cut the crap out anything that might stand in your way.

Awesome, thanks CAWoody - I'm hoping this is a easy fix so i'm going to try it with a dremel tomorrow morning. My plan is to cut the metal section where the plastic liner screws into the metal. Then maybe heat the remaining plastic back more or just cut that plastic off as well. It doesn't look like I need to trim the outer fender and I hope it doesn't come down to that. Would adjusting the caster so the wheel sits forward more help? How are people running spacers and/or pro comp 7089's without trimming?

Edit: Found some answers in an old SCCX thread and on the newx - cutting the bottom rear is a solution used for spacers or pro comps. My tires stick out less than the spacers and pro comps encountering similar issues in these threads. Below are some links for reference. Second link the guy used a dremel which is great news since that's the only cutting tool I have. Third link are bully pros on a 2" lift with 1.5" spacers and shows the tires tucking in nicely - the owner said he experiences no rub on trails but had to trim plastic and a bit of metal (i'm assuming from the inner fender). My tires clear the bottom outer fender fine, it just rubs on the last 2-3" section of the bottom inner fender when approaching full lock.

Here it is! Level 8 Bully Pros wrapped in 285/75 BFG K02's on a 2" PRG lift.

[CAWoody]

Very nice.  Black on black always looks good.

[Boondock]

Couple pictures of the offset.

[RikRong]

Oh man, those do look good.

Congrats on the wheels...very nice. 

[JFanaselle]

Looks GREAT! That offset is perfect in my opinion. You'll enjoy the wider track, and you don't even have to run spacers to achieve it.

[beedee]

Man, those look amazing, great choice of wheel and tire!

[Riz98]

Looks great.  I always liked the look of a bigger tire with minimal lift.  Post up some before and after pictures of the fender trimming.  The point of no return awaits you.

Thanks CA Woody for trimming my fenders today. But wow, your X makes my lift and tire combo look puny!

Yeah, his truck makes just about everything look puny.
