Could you please tell me the width and back spacing of the wheels? I have the same suspension and want to run 18x11 with 315 front and rear.

Thanks!

Cant remember the back spacing but 315's won't work up front on the ridetech front suspension. they'll scrub the sway bars. I've got 295's up front and thats as far as we could go. I'm running 345's out back.

Got a few hero shots yesterday.

Hugger67rsss · 02-01-2016, 03:29 PM

Yep, I already cut my sway bar brackets off the lower arm. I'm running a splined bar up front so it will clear. I have a 315 on there now with 5.25" backspacing that's off of my Camaro. My front wheels will have a ton more lip which made me ask you what you were running.
Checked your truck out at LS Fest, really like what you've done with it

Gotcha! my front wheels are 19x10 with 5.5 backspace, and the rears are 19x12 with 4.5 backspace. Yeah I know Brian Finch built a 66 C10 that runs 335's all the way around. it'd be nice to be able to rotate em. He used the Detroit speed setup.

Another cool shot from the other day.

62stepside longbox · 02-04-2016, 11:31 PM

Nice. Where'd you get your half moon headlight covers?

K5 Addiction · 02-04-2016, 11:39 PM

There's no headlight covers. They're GE Nighthak headlights. Super bright!

Brian Finch got my roll bar & door bars done and harnesses installed in time for Cruising The Smokies this coming weekend. Cant wait to get some seat time and dial the truck in on the Autocross course.

K5 Addiction · 04-26-2016, 12:19 AM

Got out today and put the truck through its paces. It's running great and feels really tight. The first real test the truck is gonna face is this weekend at Cruisin The Smokies Autocross on Saturday. I'll learn a lot about the truck and hopefully get it dialed in with the help of some of my more experienced suspension tuning buddies.
