New wheels and tires!
I got my new wheels and tires today.
MB Old School 20X8.5 all around (they dont make a 10" ...I Know I Know) Rear tires are about an inch taller than the fronts. ** Im waiting on my new 5" rear drop springs.( i had ordered and installed 5" springs from Brothers, they're OBVIOUSLY not a 5" drop. Since they were already powdercoated i decided to just order new ones from another company. Let me know what you all think. BEFORE  AFTER

Re: New wheels and tires!
Looks even better; nice truck as well! Keep your steels around though. You may want to go for that cool old look sometime in the future.

Re: New wheels and tires!
wow, nice after shot w/photoshop.
It's just one of those things, wheels either make a ride or break a ride. |
