20"-8" x 20" - 10" out back with a 1/4" in the back and no spacer up front. They did shave the hub off just enough so the cap would fit. I watched them as it was done. As stated man great job. Mine is RED and GM gunmetal grey! ![]()

Thanks man!
I was worried about the wheels not looking right with the truck but after getting them on it made the whole truck POP! Hope you get some outside shots of yours. That is a awsume paint job on it. I wished I could say I painted mine but oh well. I did everything else though! Great job again. Love the colors on it. I had thought about silver on mine but just couldn't get over the red. ![]() ![]()

Re: Finally painted
Thanks for all the comments. Oh by the way, i used the Sherwin Williams Dimension Paint line. I had heard that it was not the best quality paint, but I guess i heard wrong. The local jobbers here in Montgomery are good guys to deal with.

Re: Finally painted
Looks great man! I hope mine turns out this good.
You thinking about lowering it? That would really set it off IMO.

I want to lower it with bags, but my pockets are saying something else.

Re: Finally painted
Thanks. Here is how I tell people to find Marbury, pick up a map of Alabama and stick your finger dead in the center of it
