I see you got the same bullet lug nuts on your wheels like mine. I always thought they look cool and everybody who see's them likes them. There is a guy who shaves the tires out here with some old custom machine that lays on the ground and he jacks up the vehicle for the tire to spin. I bought my tires like this but I'm gonna have them shaved wider. Here are some older pics of my truck with the new shoes.
