Meaty!!
I finally got some tires that start with 3!! Got my new 18x11 Rocket Attack wheels put on with 315/30/18 tires!! To get the backspacing I wanted, I had to convert to 5x4.75 bolt pattern. The front was easy with the Wilwood setup since they're already drilled and tapped for both with screw in studs. For the rear, I swapped in a new set of Moser axles, then used a drill guide from Hells Gate Hot Rods to drill the rotors.

Re: Meaty!!
I can't believe you found a way to improve on that truck. But you sure do manage to do that well. That is one fine purpose-built '68!

Re: Meaty!!
Looks amazing, congratulations. Those wheels really suit the truck.
I know how much time and measurements go into wheel selection, it is sure nice to see it pay off like this.

Re: Meaty!!
How did you handle the inner bedsides? I know you were running 285 compared to my 275, but there ain’t no way anything that starts with a 3 fits underneath with stock inners!

Re: Meaty!!
Awesome. My original bed floor has finally failed. Maybe I will do some mini-tubs like that as well. The big tires look sweet!
