Time for some new rubber!

Well, I was going to get some 20's, but I have since decided to bag my truck! So, its about time to get some new tires for the truck, and I want to know if you think I should keep the same size or go bigger or smaller?




I also would like some input on how I can strip the rallies down to bare metal, remove the rust, and repaint them while I have the tires off.

Re: Time fir some new rubber!

Those rallies are exactly what I want on my truck!! What size and backspace are they?

For stripping the paint off them, get some aircraft stripper from any auto parts store. Works good.
