Re: everyone place your opinion on what you think of the wheels on the truck !!

Beautiful truck, wheels, not so much (my opinion) too big especially for a step-side. Maybe just maybe if it were a fleet-side and lower

You can never go wrong with the Black Machine, Chrome or Billet wheel combo, but after that it gets really individual taste, personal choice.

Your stepside is a beautiful truck......but you asked for opinions, so here it is.
The wheels are WAY too big. Personally, I don't like big custom wheels on ANY classic car or truck. But, as others have said.....It's your ride...do what you like !

I agree 100%

I personally like big wheels, but that's just me. I am a fan of your design!

The truck has a great stance, something just doesnt look right with the rear wheel.

Not a fan of big wheels.The design is good just too big.The truck has a simple classy stockish vibe and the big wheels seem too modern for it.Just my opinion.

I see it didn't take u long to figure out the Photo shop deal!

I think the picture may be resized and it's throwing off the scale a little though.
I like the wheels but the back half of the truck looks way wrong in your picture for some reason. It's making the truck look weird.

It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

I still like your original wheels. Just about anything is going to look sweet on your truck.

Re: everyone place your opinion on what you think of the wheels on the truck !!

I think the photoshop is not proportional to the actual picture. But I think they will look a lot better in real life.

Re: everyone place your opinion on what you think of the wheels on the truck !!

I actually like the wheels, but not the size. It may be a photoshop issue, but even so, they appear to be 21/22" wheels as shown. I think they would look good as 18's with a little more tire.

They look bigger in the rear, would look real nice if they were the same size wheels front and rear
