I would love to run a 275 up front with a 4" drop.

No rubbing at all, or they wouldn't be on my truck.

For me a 255 is all the taller I would run IMO, plus they the tire pattern had to match for me. It all comes down to the BS of the wheels.

Truck looks super nice now! I can understand wanting to update to larger wheels. I personally don't like wheels bigger than 18's, but if that's what you want, go for it.

BTW, I used to live in Jonesboro, for about 2 years. We still have some friends there. We're hoping to make it out there this spring sometime and visit. I'd also like to take my truck to George Ray's if I get to take it.

Sweet truck.

Just ordered the same steeringwheel

19seventeeCustom · 12-21-2010, 03:03 PM

Hey guys, Just got my fabric samples from SMS fabrics. Could not be happier with the orange plaid.

The truck seat is getting recovered in the Highlander Orange Plaid w/ white vinyl.

Does anybody know off hand how many yards of vinyl is needed to cover a bench seat. I know they say you need 1 1/4 yards of plaid material but havnt found anything about the vinyl portion.

72BlckButy · 12-21-2010, 03:30 PM

You might check with n2billet... I know that he recently (within the year) order fabric from SMS and had a cover made for his bench.

Where Did you get that Steering wheel? I want one just like that for my truck, its nice!

19seventeeCustom · 12-21-2010, 03:36 PM

72blkbuty-thanks I see what I can figure out

TheSeeker-the wheels was in the truck when I bough It, But i've seen it in LMC before, not sure where the cheapest place to buy it would be.

Very nice truck! I agree it looks great now, but also know it will look sweet after it is lowered and you add some bigger shoes.
