Made my first big purchase (gulp)

I bit the bullet and bought my rims for my truck.... *shhhhhhh, dont tell the wife*

22 inch rears 265/35/22 Yokohamas
20 inch rears 255/45/20 Yokohomos



Needless to say, my pocket book, AND MY WIFE are pissed at me.... Thanks to spraybomb for the links to the rims.... ALL HIS FAULT.

Im so excited though.> WOOOTT....

Interesting. Not really my style, but I like that you are doing something different

Re: Made my first big purchase (gulp)

Are those the ones Matt had up for sale, or just the same style as his were?

Just kidding, I know what you meant to say. Too smooth for me, but cool that you got new wheels.

I'm sure you realize this but.... Although the overall tire/wheel height will be taller in the rear, the front tires sidewalls will be taller than the rear tires sidewalls.

*edit: this also assumes the 20" size listed was for the front end of the truck

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Those wheels reming me of Dune Runners they used to make when sand rails were just getting popular.

The concept behind my build is my kids. My kids love those hotwheels with the 36 inch looking rims on them. i wanted to try and build a life size hot wheel. I wanted to go 18"/20" but figured i would probably only do this once, why not do it right...

Thanks, me neither. They have them on OVERSTOCK sale, but when i ordered them, he had to have them made still. Weird.

Thanks.

The size difference on the tred had to do with wanting a bit more sidewall on the front of the vehicle. 45 is thing, but 35 on the front would just HAVE to ride awful. I work for a tire store, so im not to worried about if they are the wrong ones. Can always swap em out.
