Stance the way I want it

After a few tries I think I might have the wheels and tires and stance the way I want them.

Re: Stance the way I want it

Are these all different trucks?
I like the stance of the second pic the best.

Re: Stance the way I want it

Re: Stance the way I want it

Which one? The Last one is a 5/5 drop with 275/55R17 in the rear and 275/50R17 up front

Re: Stance the way I want it

That looks awesome. They really fill the wheel wells.
Do you have any more pictures from different angles?

Re: Stance the way I want it

They are almost touching the brace that stabilizes the rear fender. When I rolled the lip that part wouldn't roll. I might have to get rid of it or raise the truck up 1/2 inch in the rear. I will post pick from different angles when I get a chance.

Re: Stance the way I want it

Your truck looks really good with the wheelwells filled up like that. What width/backspace on the wheels?

Perfect!!! I'm not normally a fan of that style wheels, but combined with the your stance it is awesome.

Re: Stance the way I want it

Love the stance! That is what I am going for whenever I can get my truck to that stage. Where did you get your wheels and what size (17x?)?

Re: Stance the way I want it

They are Wheel Vintiques 17X8 with the standard back spacing (meaning I didn't have them do any kind of special backspacing). I can find out what that is if you want. I wouldn't recommend buying from them directly if you can help it they have a horrible return policy and they are hard to get a hold of. I didn't have any problems but I have heard stories. They will not let you return any thing unless it is damaged even if it is still in the original box and make sure that they are not bent or oblong or even the wrong size before trying to mount tires on them or painting them.

The color of the truck is Light Buck Skin I don't know who sells it.
