The big issue is the front fenders. Since it's a 1.5T the wheel openings are a lot bigger than a halfton. So, any wheels other than dually style/size are not gonna look right.
I'm probably gonna end up going "rat", something like this.
I really want to do a rat for my next project anyway, but I hate not being able to use the fenders, because I love the hood/fenders/headlights on these trucks.
