6.5'' van rallys?
I mean 6.5'', not 6 12'' wheels, sorry. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone is running some of the 6.5'' van rallys with a 245/60/15 tire? I want to suck my front wheels in even with the rears to make up for the drop spindles. I don't want to buy new tires, my T/A's are fairly new, but I don't want too much bulge on the tire. BFG recommends a 7-8.5'' wheel but I wouldn't think another half inch would be a big deal. Any pics or suggestions?

I have the van rallys with 245/60's on the front of the Neater Beater. Picture is in my signature. I can find you a better picture if you need. No spacer on mine, bolt on.

That's o.k. Tx, I have a three quarter front view of your truck saved on my computer already. Thanks for the info.

I'm a sick one, I love slammed unrestored shortbeds.

It's funny, none of the guys at work will park next to it. They think it will rub off on them or someting.

Re: 6 12'' van rallys?
Most of the guys here at work drive 50,000 + dollar new trucks. They like to buy a new diesel 4x4 and lift it up and then add every power adder they can find. I'm definitely the black sheep.

Re: 6 12'' van rallys?
I'm driving a 93 Nissan Sentra with 220,000 on it to and from school (120 miles round trip) every day so I can spend every dime I save on truck payments on my 67. It's really not all that bad, I have an 02 Dodge 4X4 club cab for those long towing/ parts runs.
