Re: Getting Started
SCOTI, You would be correct, I hope. I have the 4L60E to go along with it. I'm going to put them in the truck next week, so hopefully they will go in with ease. I know the cab will need some space. I don't know bout the trans X member though? I'll find out when I get there, If I ever do. I assume it's not bolt in for the LS????
Any other comments are very welcome..... Thanks

Re: Getting Started
Sorry about the Flash! I'm not as smart as the Camera. Turns out I have to run a 4L65E sunshine bell housing, so the transmission is still out.

Re: Getting Started
Thanks for the compliments. I am buying some tires this week, but wasn't sure if these would be ok. In the rear I'm thinking the Nitto Invo, 295/25ZR22. The tire spec's say only to mount on a 11.57" wide rim. Mine are 12", but don't you think thats ok? Anyone know of any other options? I want them to be low profile of course. Thanks again for all the help.

Re: Getting Started
Are you set on running a 25 series? Your not going to like the ride.
BTW- Turn your flash off. Most digi-cams have the ability to enhance the existing light.

Naah, I could care less what my post count is. If I really wanted a big post count I would just change it...

Re: Getting Started
Ok guys, I really need some advice. Here's one other option I've found. This is a Toyo Proxes4. It's 305/25ZR22 99W RD. I honestly haven't been able to find a tire that fit's a 22x12" wheel. Thanks in advance
You think you can get away with mounting a tire recommend for a 11.5" wheel on a 12". Also, is the 25 series that bad? Even though it's a rubberband

I have never run a 25 series tire, but I think I know the answer. Like XXL said, they are going to beat you silly. Sure they look cool, you have to decide how much ride you are willing to sacrifice for looks. Here's a set mounted up. Doesn't look like much potential for sidewall flex here.

Re: Getting Started
I'd be more than happy to run a tire with more side wall if Ii could find one that fit a 22x12 wheel. Anyone know of one?

Looks like a match up. What tire is that?

Re: Getting Started
Anyone else? This 12" wide wheel is causing a little trouble. I was hoping to stay under 30" overall height. Anyone know of some close up pics of 25, or 30 series? Is the side wall 2"? Thanks again.

Re: Getting Started
Looks great! What is it? Why did you choose a 4L80E ? That's a bit of overkill unless your running a BIG motor.

Re: Getting Started
Well, I was looking for a 4L60E, the guy I was dealing with was having trouble getting one. He had several 4L80E's so I took on instead. Guess I'll have to juice up my motor. Tires are Yokohama's. There proud of them too.
