New Wheels
Finally got some new wheels for my truck.
Wheels - MB Oldschool 20x8.5 Offset of 7 Tires - Yokohama 255/45 I need to get some spaces for the rear tires. I'm trying to decide what size. How much room do you need between the tire and fender lip on the rear axle? Hope you guys like the pictures... now I really need to lower it down. When the weather gets nicer I will get my brakes and wheel wells painted.

Re: New Wheels
I love it! Be carfel with spacers. Make sure you have plenty of threads showing on your studs.

Re: New Wheels
Thanks for all the positive comments.
The bed cover is from Gaylords, The corner locks probably give a little firmer lock but it still works well and is easy to open and close. I want to add an electronic popper to it as I am always afraid of scratching it.

Re: New Wheels
When you passed me I knew that I had seen that flaming chevy fender emblem on here.
I do want to drop it but am not sure how much I can get away with. My driveway is kind of steep and I don't want to drag. What I really want is air ride but that will take me a while to save up for.

Re: New Wheels
Wow that's an awesome truck firedrag! Keep up the good work. I like the shaved lights on the fenders.

Re: New Wheels
Looks good! I like the shaved drip rails too.
What did you end up doing with the rear cab seam? I saw an old thread you posted about it.

Re: New Wheels
Thanks again.
I'm not sure that removing the drip rails was the best of ideas for a daily driver. It looks good but haven't got the doors 100% water tight yet. On the cab seam I cleaned it up as well as I could and welded it together. So far so good.

Re: New Wheels
Very nice, but it's begging for about 2" more drop.
