Re: New wheels and tires!

well ole red is looking fine. those wheels remind me of the ones we used to call coke bottle mags in the 80's. red looks like a stocker, but I might vote for a little bit lower stance. all in all very nice.

Re: New wheels and tires!

What wheels are those? Tire size and model ?

That combo looks really nice. Perfect.

Re: New wheels and tires!

Guessing 255/55R17 on 17x8 wheels. I'm shooting for that size on my truck.

Nice wheels.

Re: New wheels and tires!

Thanks for the comments! They are 17x8.5 with 255/60's upfront and 17x9.5 with 275/60's out back. Tires are Goodyear GTII's. Going to rebuild front end this fall when it gets cooler and I already have 2.5" drop spindles and 4" drop leafs ready to go on.

Re: New wheels and tires!

NICE! I have a set of 17" TT II's for my '83. The tire sizes you are running are perfect. I'll probably get the same. Looks great!

Re: New wheels and tires!

They look great on there Robert...

You may need to bring the front down more than the 2.5" in order to have the same wheel "gap" on the front and back (IMO). Keep up the great progress!!

It was nice to meet ya,
Anthony
