My lovely wife told me last night she had saved enough money for wheels & tires for my truck. Here's what I have been looking at...what do you think? http://www.cragarwheel.com/wheels/?fid=5

I think those wheels look good! Do you have a picture of the truck it is going on?

I think you are lucky to have a wife [like mine] that understands how important these trucks [or cars or old hot rods] are to us. I promised my wife [second time for both of us] when we got married if I had a mid-life situation it would have 4 wheels and duel exhaust. I think the wheels will look great on that truck you have been working so hard on. Have you ever had any Crager type wheels? I know in the old days they had a slotted mounting pattern that was hard to get the lug nuts on sometime but I am not sure if they still use it. It was a small price to pay however to have that awesome look

They look great...Im an original SS fan myself. Glad u have a great wife, mine would buy me ten sets of 'em if necessary, after I convinced her that we had to have 'em. (She needs a little push now and then).

I only have a picture of the cab right now. I painted it last Sunday. I also need tire suggestions. I'm looking at 305/40/20 for the back and I think 245/45/20 for the front. I am trying to get the sidewalls to be the same. Any help?

if you are going with 20x8.5 in front and 20x10 in the back, i believe a 255/40/20 and 295/40/20 would work. toyo has a matching set. didnt know cragers came out with a 20" wheel, looks good.
