I got new wheels!

I was going to get Boss 338s but found a huge thread on how they don't fit our trucks with the 73-87 front brake swap so I went with Ridler 695s in grey, they look almost exactly the same as the 338s but they fit! even with the 1.25 rotor, NO MODS NEEDED! Here's a couple pics just as I pulled them out of the box, these are 18x8 with 0 offset. Ill post more pics once the tires are on and the truck is on the ground

Re: I got new wheels!

How much room is there between the rear tire sidewall and the fender lip?

Re: I got new wheels!

How was the five lug conversion done on the the back? just wondering if the wheels fit with 72 or up axles. I hear they are a coupleof inches wider than the 64-66 rear.
