there is a military surplus guy here in tucson and he hooks me up because i live down the street from him. and no i do not run the run flats because they are tooo heavy and also no one will balance them here in tucson except for the hummer steelership but they want $75 a tire to balance them. and here is the secret on how i got them to fit, first i blew out my 10 1/4 ford rear end so i was lookin around for a new rear end and my friend had a dana 80 with 4.10s and detroit locker. and it was out of a 2006 something, even though the rear end is stamped ford i still dont know what it came out of. because the bolt pattern on it is 8 on 6.5 not 8 on 170mm but still the brakes and axles and stuff still all have ford stamps, go figure. so the rear rims bolted right up, and the fronts i hade to get wheel adaptors to go from 170mm to 6.5". i found this all out after i put the rear end in. otherwise i would not have done it. but it turned out allright. here is a pic of the truck when i first got it.

after i got it
