Yep. The $$$'s have been flowing out pretty good lately for parts and wheels are so easy to change later. I don't want to skimp on something else for now when I can swap wheels later. They have grown on me anyway. I think the 30" tall tires are the main problem. I put the spacers on this weekend before I tore the bed off so I could see how they worked and it really made a huge difference. It looked fine to me after putting them on.

No more dragtruck for me. I'm building a new ride though. It's a '71 fleetside, 400 sbc, 700R4. Working on it now, finally. Soon to have Edelbrock Pro Flo EFI, Vintage Air, 1 piece windows, buddy buckets, etc.
