The rear wheels are 18x10 with 5.25 inches of backspace . As far as how much drop , I didnt measure but there are pics now so you can get a visual idea . Frank

That is a beautiful truck. I think you have the perfect balance of hotrod and daily driver. That is exactly what I want to do with mine. That truck sits right, wheels look great. That is just gorgeous.

FRANK, I agree completely (I did the same on my truck)...and boy does the truck look sweet!

Looks GREAT!

really glad that you lowered it Frank

Jeff , I like the Pro Stars and BFG's you went with . Since gas is ridiculous right now , I think we should trade powerplants so you could get some descent mileage and I could turn these 18's a little . Frank

Frank, lets make it simpler...lets just trade trucks.

Sweet.

I don"t know, it looks like it needs another inch.

Just kidding buddy, it looks great. That's a nice conservative combo that anyone should be pleased with.

Rollie396 · 04-22-2008, 07:28 AM

Ooooh yeah!That's added to my list.
