great looking truck , can wait to wax mine

6772owner · 05-13-2009, 11:17 AM

Beautiful truck there mister, hey can I get the specs on your tires, thats the look I want!!

dcpetty · 05-13-2009, 12:01 PM

thanks for all of the compliments. To answer some of the questions....I just waxed it by hand. The paint is only 2 yrs old and it stays in the garage all of the time so the paint stays pretty slick. I am a Meguires user as far as wax products go. On the wheel/tire combo. Going from memory....the wheels are 17x7 and 17x8.5. The tires are 235/45 and 275/55. I come from a old school big/little combo background. I don't think I have ever had the same size on all 4 corners.

6772owner · 05-13-2009, 12:10 PM

Cool thanks for the info, I like the staggered look as well.
