Welcome to the board. I think that 2wdBlazer might have a set-up similar to yours. He hasn't been around here in a while, but he is on CK5.com.
Got any pics of the rig?

That is a really wide wheel. If you like the look, I'm sure there is a way. Money cannot buy happiness...but it can pretty much buy everything else!

What's the offset of those rims? Maximum that will fit on our trucks is 4". That gives you 14"s of wheel sticking out.  Sounds more like a sand rail set up. Last edited by vtblazer; 06-04-2007 at 07:09 PM. |

Re: has anybody lifted a 72 with 16x18 wheels?
I would think with 12" of lift you could go alot bigger than 38's...
I have 37's on a 6" lift. |

There are a few posts in the FAQ forum on how to post pics. Go to Krue's Index and you can find some of those posts.
