Sweet Pea gets New shoes

Well I finally got some 20s for Sweet Pea....They are Boss 304s 20x8 in the front and 20x9.5 in the rear....I love them....Although I need to get some smaller tires...They will work for the time being....The fronts are 275/45/20 and the rear are 285/50/20...I may just switch the front tires to the rear...And just buy new front tires....The fronts rub lock to lock while going over bumps....Any suggestions would be great....Thanks Tony....... Here are a few pictures...Sorry for the quality, It was sprinkling ...So My time was limited...Name:  IMG_3055.JPG

Re: Sweet Pea gets New shoes

It looks WAY better now, that was a good choice! Did you get them used?

Looks like crap. Take those wheels off and i will come get them out of your shop. LOL

I so love that green on your truck. Perfect shade.

Re: Sweet Pea gets New shoes

I forget what you had before,so I`d be lying if I said it looks better.So,all I can say is,"That`s one sweet looking truck and the wheels look GREAT!! on there".

As much as I`ve always loved shortbeds (and all others) I like seeing yet another longbed dispelling the "only shortbeds..." myth.Now...ever think about painting a guitar that color?or,am I sleeping and you already did?

I think it looks great just the way it is!!! Wear those tires out and then change to a different size if you still want.
