One word.... AWESOME!!!!

hate to tell you, those wheels aren't going to work right unless you get some thick spacers... what are they, 8... 9 inches wide? They have all the rubber to the inside of the hub, the back spacing is way too much. Looks like an awesome truck though... beautiful paint. My longhorn was very close to that color at one time, a tic lighter. I often wonder if I should ever go back to gold or not.

The wheel i ordered was a zero offset which American Racing guarenteed would fit my truck so we shall see.

Do you guys approve of my new wheels and tires? Does anybody know of reproduction spare tire tool pouch and jack? Or a nice used set??

after 6 months I finally got to wax Her!

Longhorn Man · 07-04-2011, 02:26 PM

glad they worked out for you... I wonder if the center of the wheel is super thick or something, that looks like way too much back spacing... but it does in face fit in there perfect.
Looks great all around!

Sicklajoie · 07-04-2011, 02:36 PM

No spacers used at all. Bolted on and that was it!
