Torq Thrust D's on - whatcha think?

Anyone else running these with a 3/5 drop so I'll have an idea of the stance. Likely go alot smaller profile tire just happen a good package deal.. There's only a few lug nuts holding 'em on - truck is actually on jack stands.

Re: Torq Thrust D's on - whatcha think?

Im assuming your wheels are 15x8, if you mounted those on the rear, and dropped it 6 inches would you have a fair amount of clearence between the inside of the fender lip and the tire? Im trying to decide on what size tires to buy and that is one of the sizes im considering.

Oh and off topic...you get that seat done yet?

Re: Torq Thrust D's on - whatcha think?

That's a good question bud, I'm going with a 5" drop but won't have the bed on for a while yet. Def let ya know what kinda clearance there is once I do - though you might have gone through two sets of tires by then..lol

yup yup - covers were just the ticket!
