Just curious who has done it... and if there were any "side-effects"... I just got some wheels with a small center bore. It looks easier to grind on the truck than to tear into some nice chrome wheels...

i do, no issues. just center the wheel with the lugnuts. and make sure when you grind them ,use your old lug nuts or some rubber hose on your wheel studs so you dont accidentally hit them with the grinder and mess them up.

thanks. I'm really anxious to get the wheels on, too bad I still need to get tires for them, haha!

You guys with 2-wheel drive trucks are super lucky... There is no "tab-grinding in the 4x4 world! =/

Are you going to run a 4wd bed? the QX56s will not clear a 2wd bed.You will still have to roll the lip on a 4wd bed.

I am hopefully having my 20" Ultra Sentinels cut this weekend via WaterJet. Anyone in the Northwest know anyone that does this?

I really need to start my build thread!
