Very nice truck/build. I just read through it. The new wheels look great.

The Curtis speed wheels are sweet! What size tires are you running on those.

Re: “Castro” my new 72 build

And what backspace did you get with the Curtis speed wheels? Do you have the stock front track width or are the spindles like the cpp modular spindles.
Sorry for all the questions 😃

No worries dude. Tires are 245-40R20 and 295-40R20, wheels 20 x8 1/2", 5.5" back space, rear is 20 x 10, 5.5" backspace. I have the QA-1 system under it with McGaughys 2" drop spindles for a square body. Stock width. That 5.5 BS on the front tucks the tires in nicer than other wheels I've had with 5 -1/4" bs.
