Are these wheels going to have clearance issues on the front center caps? I'm not sure they worked that out yet. I'd put them on without the center caps on the front and see if they will go on afterwards. I know a guy that just bolted his on and it cracked the caps.

Actually I can't remember if you've already addressed this or not.

As far as I know they have addressed the issue already. Either way I can get it taken care of with no problem.

*highperf4x4* · 01-28-2010, 02:41 AM

Cool, they're gonna look awesome. Can't wait to see the pics!

I went through a lot of choices and this was where I ended up. but not easy though. These sizes are not common in a set of tires.

*vegaschevy* · 01-28-2010, 01:33 PM

Oh yes,

BFGoodrich G force KDW 295/40-20 rear and 245/40-20 Front

SERIOUS MEAT time!!! Headed to get them mounted. Then coming home and throwing the front suspension back together!!!

BFG

Going to be a tight fit!!

70stroker · 01-28-2010, 02:13 PM

umm ya, those are gonna look sweet. cant wait to see the installed pics.

*vegaschevy* · 01-28-2010, 03:53 PM

I just got home and have the tires mounted on the rim... AND I took pics.. but they are uploading right now... HAHAHAHA

Oh, and of course I threw a rear tire on the truck real quick..... LOOKS SWEET!!!!!

72BlckButy · 01-28-2010, 03:58 PM

Not going to fit tight, the 295's are going to fit just right....

The perfect tire choice IMO.

Can't wait to see some pics of the wheels/tires mounted up.

my67chevytruck · 01-28-2010, 04:10 PM

sweet....... gonna be a bas@$$ setup...

*vegaschevy* · 01-28-2010, 04:21 PM

The wheels and tires!!

ANd then the mounted pics!!!!

Oh ya, did I ever mention that my girlfriend was all for me getting my truck done? With some nice new wheels....Not to mention she thinks it looks as good as I do and is more excited then any of us!! I think it had some to do with the fact that she did not want me driving on 30 yr old tires ... Shes the best though!!

This is the clearance on the outside of the bed

This is the inside of the bed.

I cannot wait to get the front done and see the stance, I will have it one more inch higher in the rear with a piece from Porterbuilt. The rear is actually 8" lower right now instead of 7" Over all shes going to rock!!

Normy71 · 01-28-2010, 04:28 PM

Nice! that fills the hole..
Are rear disc brakes on your wish list?
I like the wheel combo good choice.

You bet, but nothing to high on the priority list until the body work, motor. and interior are finished. Oh, and the rear drums will get a fresh paint of black paint before they are bolted up

This truck surprisingly stops fairly well.

70stroker · 01-28-2010, 04:38 PM

Very nice. Now you just need to get the front done so we can see it sitting down on the ground.

when do ya think that will all be buttoned up?

*vegaschevy* · 01-28-2010, 11:35 PM

Got a little more done today before having to call it a night.

tomorrow morning I should be able to get the other side down.

68GMCCustom · 01-29-2010, 01:03 AM

It will at least have a built chassis. All new rubber, bushings, suspension, steering, bearings, seals everything.

Not to mention that my 30 yr old tires were so bad they started chunking rubber the day before the tear down. LOL I did not want to buy even cheap tires cause I knew I was headed this route.

C20-67_N_MO · 01-29-2010, 10:52 AM

WOW!

Very nice selection on your tires and wheels.

Looks killer!!

**67cheby** · 01-29-2010, 10:55 AM

wheels look killer

butternut1972 · 01-29-2010, 11:25 AM

Wheels look good. Now get it together and drive this weekend and have fun.
