Hey Rocknrod, just wondering if the Honda weatherstrip arrived yet. Anxious to know your thoughts on the fit.

Yes it arrived. I used it, didn't like it and removed it. What would be perfect but unobtainable is seal trim with a 3/8 grip and a 3/8" bulb or smaller. I forced some 3/8 bulb with 1/4 grip on there and it works better on mine. Go figure.

My truck is 57 years young (built last half of June 64). In a few days it's my birthday and I was born in 57.
My wheels are to be here two Wed and two Thurs, Friday it's a trip to the tire store.

realvc · 07-01-2021, 09:52 PM

Those look great, can't wait to see them on your truck.

**The Rocknrod** · 07-01-2021, 09:55 PM

Thanks, me too.

66C10LB · 07-01-2021, 10:05 PM

Great choice for rims!

**cwcarpenter98** · 07-01-2021, 10:35 PM

Ooooh, shiny

**Joe Pass** · 07-01-2021, 11:40 PM

That's great,,,,,

**The Rocknrod** · 07-02-2021, 01:49 PM

Did you guys know that advertised tire section width and actual tire section width have nothing in common?

I definitely know it varies.

Sounds like there is/was an issue of sizing? Do tell....

[QUOTE=The Rocknrod;8939224]Did you guys know that advertised tire section width and actual tire section width have nothing in common?[Yes, and isn’t that a bunch of bs, they should be able to make what is advertised, whenever I narrow a rearend, I always make it 1/2” narrower than needed to make up for these inconsistencies by the tire manufacturers

**The Rocknrod** · 07-03-2021, 10:37 AM

The tires I had for the rear were not the section width they advertised so I had to have them get me new ones (no cost to me). Those won 't be in until the 10th.

**The Rocknrod** · 07-06-2021, 05:39 PM

Finally. Still need to get it aligned though.

**The Rocknrod** · 07-06-2021, 06:09 PM

Wheel offset is just where I wanted it.
215/70R16 fronts on American VN6156773
235/60R17 Rears on American VN6157873

**The Rocknrod** · 07-06-2021, 06:18 PM

I think the front wheels give me some cushion (what I wanted) and arent too big when you see the side view.

**Joe Pass** · 07-06-2021, 08:43 PM

That's very nice, can't go wrong with American's.....
