Finally !!!!
 

Finally was able to get my new tires and wheels installed. Got some new Coy's
18x8 on front w/ 235/55/18 and 20x8.5 w/275/55/20 on the rear. Still have to tweak on the ride height just a bit. Also changed out from the drop springs to new stock springs and McGahueys 2.5" drop spindles ( bought them from Tim Christian, great guy to deal with ). The guys at Coys went above and beyond to get the wheels out to me. What you guys think ?? Gonna install my new doors and internals next and a set of POL tubular motor mounts, trying to get it all done before CRUISIN SEASON starts !!!!!

Re: Finally !!!!
 

Wow... that is beautiful!!! What kind of spring are you running in the rear? I definitely know which set of wheels I'm going with. :D

Re: Finally !!!!
 

nice:metal:

Re: Finally !!!!
 

4" drop spring with 1" lowering blocks. Blocks are coming out tonite so the fender well gap will match front & rear.

Re: Finally !!!!
 

Beautiful!

BTW, how much did shipping set you back on those door shells?

Re: Finally !!!!
 

What's the BS on the 20X8.5?

Re: Finally !!!!
 

I bought the doors from a guy in the next town up from me who sells parts and just met up with him on his weekly run to Goodmark so I didn't have to pay any shipping. The BS on the 20 x 8.5 is 4.75" and the 18x8 is 4.5"

Re: Finally !!!!
 

thats one beautiful truck man!!

Re: Finally !!!!
 

sitting pretty man, looks great!

Re: Finally !!!!
 

I got mine from LMC trucks and shipping was $100 for both.

Re: Finally !!!!
 

It would be nice to be able to get sheet metal parts locally. That would save a ton. $100 for shipping seems like a lot, but I suppose in the big scheme it's a drop in the bucket... lol.

Re: Finally !!!!
 

Looks good dewayne. We'll take it out and shoot it again.

Re: Finally !!!!
 

looks good

Re: Finally !!!!
 

Really?? I think it looks good but it looks like its got alot of rake already... IMO it might be to high in the rear with another inch added to it... That is a BIG back tire! Wheels look great!

Re: Finally !!!!
 

Did you have any problems with the caps?

Re: Finally !!!!
 

Bad a$$ wheels and a great compliment to the truck!

Re: Finally !!!!
 

spacers I had made solved the problem with the front wheels/cap. Worked like a charm, the alumn color blends into the color of the center spokes

Re: Finally !!!!
 

:cool:

Looks reeeeeeal good.

Can't beat the gunmetal wheels on that color.

Re: Finally !!!!
 

:metal: AWSOME :metal:

Re: Finally !!!!
 

It does look good...

Re: Finally !!!!
 

Looks good man! How many weeks to get your wheels? I'm getting ready to order mine.

Re: Finally !!!!
 

pretty sweet!

Re: Finally !!!!
 

DA68,
It took me 2 weeks to get them, they had the fronts in stock and shipped them out the day after I ordered them ( it is a 5 day ship from Utah to Tenn via FedEx). The rears were in-transite to Coys and got stuck in California ( truck lines they used were on strike ) and Randy Coy drove from Utah to California picked up the shipment and drove back to Utah to ship them to me. Now thats Customer Service !!!! I will buy from them again.

Re: Finally !!!!
 

Nice wheels man...I liked your other setup better, but thats jmo looks great though but I think lowering it a little more in the rear (less rake) would look better.
You have a sweet truck man! Great color.

Re: Finally !!!!
 

pulled the 1" spacers out (putting them in jkaylor68gmc's 68 ), didn't really change the stance that much at all. Fenderwell gap matches all around now.I'll post updated pics in the morning. Just gotta get the front aligned now and it is CRUISIN TIME IN TENNESSEE !!!!! Goodguys here we come !!

Re: Finally !!!!
 

took the 1" block out of the rear to get tire/fender gap to match. Didn't change much.

Re: Finally !!!!
 

What did u do with your other tires & wheels?

Re: Finally !!!!
 

SOLD EM , they paid for the Coys

Re: Finally !!!!
 

So what do YOU think of the new look?

Re: Finally !!!!
 

IMO... I personally like the look of one wheel size all the way around. Not only for looks but to practicality too, like rotating tires, or having one spare around..... but as long as your happy thats what counts. I like the wheels and the satin/flat finish on the spokes

Re: Finally !!!!
 

I agree about rotating and stuff, but staggered wheels looks cool on a dropped 2wd, but on a 4x4 it would look dumb, plus you get better mileage on them being able to rotate them to the front and back

Re: Finally !!!!
 

Couldn't rotate the others ( 285/70/15 on rear and 255/70/15 on front ). I may average about 3000 miles a year, so these won't wear out anytime soon ( hopefully ). I like the look, was kinda after the Pro Touring look. Drives and rides really good ( drop spindles are the way to go !!. Drop springs in the front are OK, but don't compare to the spindles and stock geometry. Got all my door components out and hope to hang new doors this weekend.

Re: Finally !!!!
 

Can you get a close shot of the spacer with the wheels mounted?

Re: Finally !!!!
 

I'll try and get you a photo tonite

Re: Finally !!!!
 

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Finally !!!!
 

71HULK, I Like the look, was going after the Pro Touring Look. I think it turned out killer !!!! I was looking at an old issue of Classic Trucks and I have the same stance as Rodney Grimes' black 68, so I am HAPPY !!!!

Re: Finally !!!!
 

I like them!
