I like the new wheels/tires...looks great!

I'd lose the ricer taillights to make it look even better.

I like the tires with the black walls not the raised white letters. Nice truck welcome to the board

jimmy norman · 01-01-2009, 11:27 AM

the after is when i changed the axles i took the 10 bolts out and installed a dana 60 and a 14 bolt with locked in the back and added it some custom painted ladder bars but never had it off road

vern350 · 01-02-2009, 02:06 AM

nice truck, what size rims/tires are you running?

ChaseDale3and8 · 01-02-2009, 09:41 AM

To answer your question about which looks better, definately the after. Reason being that the before wheels are way too wide for the tires that they are on. Those wheels should be on a 39-44 inch or so tall tire in my opinion.

Some 4x4 guys like the look of the really wide wheels on shorter tires, but I'm in the category that doesn't. I just don't feel they look proportionate if you run too wide a wheel on too short of a tire, or too tall a tire and not wide enough of a wheel. I'm just kind of picky that way.

I had 44s on one of my trucks years ago and I had 12 inch wide rims on it. I personally wouldn'r run a wide rim like that on anything less than a 39 inch tire, but that's just me. It looks very propotionate the way it sits right now, and having the heavy duty axles is a big plus to boot! ...Joe
