Pwallace30 · 05-24-2010, 06:31 PM

Finally got rid of the white Cragars. Replaced with 17" Billet Specialties GTX40's, 255/60/17 front and rear. Thinking of going with a wider tire in the rear, but not sure how wide I can go on an 8" wide rim.

BruthaMan · 05-24-2010, 09:31 PM

Your truck is very nice, pwallace! Rims look super sweet!

Beautiful truck. You can go with a 275 easy. You might be able to get a 295 on there.

Thanks guys. Im hoping to go at least a 275 in the back. Plus im having some rubbing issues in the front, hopefully some trimming to the inside of the fender lip will fix that. I found these rims and tires used so I took a gamble on the backspacing and tire width.

ocbaud · 05-24-2010, 10:41 PM

some new pics

pardon them, they are from my cell phone :-)

chevymotocross · 05-24-2010, 11:29 PM

ocbaud, that is eye candy! Love the color combination. I am convinced on Torq Thrust wheels now after completing my 4/6 drop. Are those 17's? Specs on the tire size and drop?

texasfunk · 05-24-2010, 11:34 PM

o...m...g..., that thing is SICK!!

Jons85 · 05-25-2010, 02:09 AM

Here's a few pictures of my "85" Black Betty and my "86" Big Red.

I'm seeing a striking family resemblance between Big Red and my baby. Always thought she may have had an older sister but never could seem to locate her until now

. Nice pair of trucks Jons85!!!

Nice that is a sweet truck! It looks like Big Red but on steroids!

86swb · 05-25-2010, 07:22 AM

Is it just me or are our trucks getting more beautiful all the time? I just love this body style.

68longhorn · 05-25-2010, 07:34 AM

sweet truck OC, love the color, rims, stance, everything.

Jon, how much drop is on the red one and what size tires? I'd love my 86 to sit like that!

Thanks silvereagle07. 68longhorn my red truck has a 4"-6" drop and 215/60/15's in front with 295/50/15's in the back. The back tires rub once in a while on the sidewall if it hits a decent bump now that it's lowered so I'm going to either roll the fender lips or cut some of the lip off. I like the look of the wide tires in back though.

silvereagle07 · 05-25-2010, 07:44 AM

OC that truck is sweet! Jons85, man you have some nice trucks. I agree with 86swb on the body style. They just get better looking as time goes on.
