Pic with new shoes today!

Here's a couple pics of my 67 fleet with new wheels/tire combo.
Still a few things to go, but we are now driving and enjoying this project. Rolled in it to church this morning my 15 year old son , this was our project together and it was sweet with the windows down and the exhaust humming

Super nice truck. Can you post wheel tire size with wheel offset, tire sizes and drop?

I am about to buy some wheels and your combination has the look I like..

Re: Pic with new shoes today!

Here's the details- it has drop spindles and 1 coil cut off the front springs. Rear has 5" lowering springs, no "C" notch.

Wheels are American Racing TTO (Torq-thrust originals) Fronts are 15 x 7" and rears are 15 x 8.5" Front tires are P225/70 and rears are 255/70

AR only offers 1 backspacing on the TTO, I dont remember what it was but the website would have the info

Thanks for the kind words. I like the 18/20" wheels also, but decided to use the 15" and RWL tires for an 'Old School" look.

I'll have to agree with this as well. Great looking ride. The TTO's are some of my favorites!

do you have disc brakes on the front? I've been looking at the Torq thrust D, but I like the TTO better. i dont think they will work with the disc on the front though.
