Same Wide tires on all four. The ford lightning look

Those wheels are all 5” backspacing and I’m actually running a spacer up front to get the track width to line up with the rear 😊

If you want to see a wide tire/square setup with a larger wheel diameter then take a look at my previous project, Cannonball C10...it has 19x12s all corners with 345/30R19s!

What an awesome truck! I saw your truck when I was watching United by Trucks on youtube when he filmed the pro touring truck shootout by street trucks!

Oh yeah I haven't had a chance to see UBT's video of the event yet. I sold that truck to a buddy here in the Bay Area a couple of years back, and he sent it over to Saudi Arabia for the Riyadh auto week last year...it arrived back to the US through an east coast port so he kept it his friend's shop in Bowling Green...which was convenient for the pro touring truck shootout 😃

We actually have recently revisited another old build of mine, which I haven't updated in a long time:

This one is back to running a 19x12 square setup again. I'll need to update that thread, but attaching a teaser pic here.

Yea it looked like an awesome event. Kinda jealous that here in Cali we had truck events get cancelled.

You did a wonderful job on the build and your friend just has to enjoy it. All the hard work was done lol. He sure sounds powerful being able to move a vehicle like that and travel. Good for both of you!

You sure build awesome race trucks! I really love the square setup as well. It suits the Squarebody so well. That will definitely be my goal on my Squarebody. I’ll be following along on your thread builds!

Thanks! The amazing thing was that the Saudi government paid for all the transportation of the vehicles back and forth to the US...to help alleviate the great concerns that most owners had about the show 😊
