Lowered 65 Wheel and Tire
 
I am in the process of lowering my 65, using 2 1/2" spindles and 3" springs up front with bags on the rear.

I am wanting opinions on wheels, can' decide on 18" with 255/50/18s all the way around or going with 18/20 combo. Some of the combos I see I like but others not so much.

Planning on all chrome Ridler 645s if available by the time I am ready say October time frame.

What do yall think?

Well I'll hopefully have 255/55R18 mounted on the rolling frame by this weekend, so I'll let you know then how they look.

I originally was thinking about doing 17/19, but had a hard time finding tires in the same family. I like the staggered look, but I just didn't think 20's would look good on my particular built.

What is your end-game with the truck? What style/look do you want to end up with?

I am going to keep the body stock other than moving the gas tank and shaving the tailgate chains. Just wanting a really nice daily driver that is lowered with a nice set of wheels.
