Finally took some pics with my new wheels!
I've been looking for wheels for quite a while and found what I wanted.
Pics wouldn't show up so here are the links:    The wheels are: U2 55's 22"x9.5" The tires are: Sunny 255/30/22 In the rear I have 1.5" spacers There was a lil rubbing in the front, mostly on the driver side, so i removed the inner fender. Probably remove the passenger side as well (but battery tray looks like a problem), and then mod them somehow. I still need to get some side moulding and emblems installed. Any info on where to get them would be appreciated.

Re: Finally took some pics with my new wheels!
You have an extremely clean truck. Nice paint. I know you can get the belt moulding and emblems from LMC. I don't know if any venders carry it. I just bought some belt moulding at a auto paint and supply for $90.00. It's the kind you have to cut yourself. I would rather it be like that so I can get it perfect.
I'm a fan of stock trim, but with those modern wheels and updated grill, I would leave all that stuff off though. I think your truck would look awesome with roll pan on the back and one to match on the front---Just throwing that out there. I will probably never suggest that again, but don't think I have ever seen that look as good as it would on that truck.

Re: Finally took some pics with my new wheels!

Re: Finally took some pics with my new wheels!
very nice ride. personally i would do the trim but leave the emblems off. and that battery you could buy a box that mounts in the bed or on the side of the frame under the cab from summit, longer batt cables and then you got no problem with pass side wheel well.

Re: Finally took some pics with my new wheels!
Thanks for all the comments and info guys.
And thanks for fixing the pics, what did I do wrong? After looking at alot of the rides on this board I sometimes get frustrated because of the time and money some of you guys spend doing some serious work to your trucks. So I just try and tell myself keep it simple, it's not a show truck. But I appreciate all of the ideas and insight you have given me. Thanks, Pat BTW I'm old too. Having 22's on my Tahoe Limited, I've came to the conclusion " You can't lose with 22's ". Just wish I could afford to bag it right now! PS The thing is that I have the holes for side moulding and emblems, But can't install emblems (can't reach nuts on backside)
