I ordered up my rims last week with the minimum backspacing for the fronts at 4.00". With yours being 6.25", how close are you to the frame/a-arms with the tires while turning? I bought one of those Percy's wheel simulator thingamajigs and sure hope it is acurate when the rims are $3500.00! I used one of your truck photos to photoshop in my wheels to see what they look like. Very nice truck by the way.

Re: s10 swap...rim/tire configuration???

I am planning on running 245/40R-20 in front on a 20x8.5 and 295/40R-20 on a 20X10. I may go to a 305 in the rear as I have 2" wider rear fenders. I had to modify both inner fenders to to my custom headers, so I am a bit worried. I guess if worse comes to worse I can add a spacer if I have to. I like the tucked in look of the front wheels like on your truck. You have that thing nailed buddy.
