Are these wheels going to have clearance issues on the front center caps? I'm not sure they worked that out yet. I'd put them on without the center caps on the front and see if they will go on afterwards. I know a guy that just bolted his on and it cracked the caps.

Actually I can't remember if you've already addressed this or not. :lol:

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

Truck is looking good. i will be there the end of next month, i'm hoping i will see it cruising the strip. nice work!

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

As far as I know they have addressed the issue already. Either way I can get it taken care of with no problem.

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

Cool, they're gonna look awesome. Can't wait to see the pics!

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

hey hey, same size tires as me, good choice.

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

I went through a lot of choices and this was where I ended up. but not easy though. These sizes are not common in a set of tires.

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

Oh yes,

BFGoodrich G force KDW 295/40-20 rear and 245/40-20 Front

SERIOUS MEAT time!!! Headed to get them mounted. Then coming home and throwing the front suspension back together!!!

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

I just got home and have the tires mounted on the rim... AND I took pics.. but they are uploading right now... HAHAHAHA


Oh, and of course I threw a rear tire on the truck real quick..... LOOKS SWEET!!!!!

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

Not going to fit tight, the 295's are going to fit just right.... :D

The perfect tire choice IMO.

Can't wait to see some pics of the wheels/tires mounted up.

Re: Project NOT4SLE

ANd then the mounted pics!!!!

Oh ya, did I ever mention that my girlfriend was all for me getting my truck done? With some nice new wheels....Not to mention she thinks it looks as good as I do and is more excited then any of us!! I think it had some to do with the fact that she did not want me driving on 30 yr old tires ... Shes the best though!!

I cannot wait to get the front done and see the stance, I will have it one more inch higher in the rear with a piece from Porterbuilt. The rear is actually 8" lower right now instead of 7" Over all shes going to rock!!

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

Nice! that fills the hole..
Are rear disc brakes on your wish list?
I like the wheel combo good choice.

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

You bet, but nothing to high on the priority list until the body work, motor. and interior are finished. Oh, and the rear drums will get a fresh paint of black paint before they are bolted up

This truck surprisingly stops fairly well.

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

Very nice. Now you just need to get the front done so we can see it sitting down on the ground.

when do ya think that will all be buttoned up?

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

headed out to finish the front now. I think it will be done tonight!!

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

Sweeeeet!!!

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

Woooo Hooo! Been waiting on this for weeks. Take lots of pics!

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

Righteous!

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

Got a little more done today before having to call it a night.

tomorrow morning I should be able to get the other side down.

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

Nice selection of upgrade parts for your diamond in the rough.
You'll have quite a jewel when your done!

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

It will at least have a built chassis. All new rubber, bushings, suspension, steering, bearings, seals everything.

Not to mention that my 30 yr old tires were so bad they started chunking rubber the day before the tear down. LOL I did not want to buy even cheap tires cause I knew I was headed this route.

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

WOW!

Very nice selection on your tires and wheels.

Looks killer!!

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

wheels look killer

Re: Project NOT4SLE
 

Wheels look good. Now get it together and drive this weekend and have fun.
