Re: Post Your Wheel and Tire Combo
The photo is pretty accurate but it can look different depending on lighting You can drive by any Dodge dealership to see a new car in this color.

Re: Post Your Wheel and Tire Combo
Mine in mock up stage. Haven't dropped the engine/trans in yet so it's slightly high in the front.
Camaro clip on the front, the frame is just resting on the rear end in this pic but I plan on a 4 link with bags. Eventually I plan on bagging the front as well. Rims are z28 5 spoke rally wheels powdercoated black. 15x7 with a 4.25" backspacing.

Re: Post Your Wheel and Tire Combo
Here's mine. 17x8 Boyd Smoothies with 235/55 tires.
I'm not really that happy with them. I got a super cheap (I thought) deal on them used only to find out they needed profession repair and re-polishing. Offset is incorrect for my truck so I have 1/4" rear spacers on them to lear the bedsides but they really should be 1/2" or possibly 3/4". I'd have not bought them if I'd seen them in person but they were out of area and my nephew picked them up for me. I plan to check to see if my old 15" Torq Thrusts will clear the calipers in front if I use spacers (probably not) or will eventually change them out to something else, possibly 17" TT's in gray with polished lip.

Re: Post Your Wheel and Tire Combo
Very old Cal Chrome wheels, 15x10 rear (295s) and 15x6 (215s) front. I’ve been debating on what to replace them with, but they work so I’ll take care of some of the other things before that decision has to be made.

Re: Post Your Wheel and Tire Combo
Thank you sir.
If anyone is contemplating coker STAs, they are the best bias ply truck tire I have run in recent times. Took little weight to balance. They drive/steer really nice after they get warm, which is usually about a mile of so.
