The rear black rims look good, do you have a front set. Nice to see a different color.

Yea I have the boss 338's for the front. I am just having issue finding someone to machine the center bores to fit the hubs for less than 120

How are the 24s on rubbing? And how wide are those? I've been thinking 22s but really wanna of 4s to void the wheel well space.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

Thanks Chrisxeasy!! My tire size is 265/35r22. It turns lock to lock with no problems. They only rub if I'm fully locked and hit a bump, that's minor though.. No other issues at all..
