New Drop...New Wheels and Tires!
I put a ECE 4/6 drop and some new Showwheel Streeters from Street3285 ( Great guy to deal with)!
I have been stuck in the 80's for 25 years and decided to join the 2000 crowd. The first is a before pic. I have had the truck since 1989 and it has looked exactly the same since being painted in 1991. Specs are 20x10 with 295/45/20 proxes and the front are 18x8 with 255/45/18 proxes. I know the sidewall is a little tall for most, but the last pictures will show why!

Re: New Drop...New Wheels and Tires!
10 miles of dirt road is why I can't have anything nice. It is also why I have the taller tires!

Re: New Drop...New Wheels and Tires!
Those look great! I hope the dirt road isn't your driveway, it would be a drag to dirty those beauties up! If it is you should park it by the hiway and ride your bike out there!
Very nice! Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: New Drop...New Wheels and Tires!
Nice, those wheels and tires fit perfect! The gravel road dust washes right off, i know, small price to pay for the piece and quiet! Looks great! Joseph

 Of course, when I lived out there, I never had anything that you could tell the difference between the oxidation and the dust on the paint. The truck looks great reguardless. I was also curious if you could tell me what mirrors and single peice gless set you have on that too. They look pretty clean and I am trying to get some idea's for my Blazer.

Re: New Drop...New Wheels and Tires!
What a difference, and looks great! Nice stance and I like the taller tires, it fills up the fender wells.
Your truck will have to go in our gallery when we get it finished & uploaded to the site. |
