I guess I'm stuck in the 80's. I like the pro street look. Are you running a big block?

Went to Discount to get the rear tires mounted and the front tires turned around and took $60 thinking it would be enough. Cost $42 to get the rear done and another $42 to get the front done. They charge way too much for mounting and balancing. They wouldn't do $60 for all out the door.

I have always loved the weld wheel after seeing your truck is making me reconsider before I buy 20's....

looks great!!!

Sinister · 10-19-2008, 03:04 PM

1LoC10 · 10-19-2008, 03:07 PM

BowTieMan · 10-19-2008, 03:16 PM

Man that looks wicked! Whats the suspension and front wheels and tires specs?

Longhorn Man · 10-19-2008, 04:38 PM

Corn, you pretty much took the words outta my mouth. Those make my 275/60s look lame.

72highlander · 10-19-2008, 04:50 PM

that's a lot of meat. looks good with the stance and the skinnies up front.

Ackattack · 10-19-2008, 04:55 PM

where did you get the wheels? Everywhere I look for wheels, they don't have 5x5 bolt pattern, so did you have to have them custom made?

I'm planning on running pro stars for my drag tires.

4 inch springs and stock tubs. Has about 1 inch of clearance on the inside.

**special-K** · 10-20-2008, 08:26 AM

I like it.
Do you think they`d fit a 6" drop?

c10addict · 10-20-2008, 10:27 AM

Looks fast! Is it?

If I got beside you at a light I would think you got something in store for me!

Zumo · 10-20-2008, 01:28 PM
