Wheels
 

Here are the new wheels I picked up . I am still waiting on the drop parts but I washed the truck and took a couple pics . What do you think ? I wish I had went with the Goodyear tires but these look OK for now .

Re: Wheels
 

Man.. That ain't even right!

I'm gonna use one of those pics on my background to keep my inspiration higher... they're awesome!

My wheel project is on hold until after Dec 31st due to wedding bills piling up! So, the lowrider won't get 20's until 2009.

Re: Wheels
 

that truck is awesome! wish it was mine :)

Re: Wheels
 

how much drop you getting?

Re: Wheels
 

I ordered 1 inch coils and Western Chassis 2.5 inch spindles for the front . In the rear it will be 4 inch drop leafs and I have a set of shackles if it needs another inch .

Why do you now wish you had gone with Goodyears?
What did you get instead?

Re: Wheels
 

Fronts are Federal and rears are Nexen . The sidewall on the goodyear was more symmetrical . It is just a visual thing . The tread patterns on these match close enough but the sidewalls are a little different . I saved a little over $300 with these so I went for it .

aint nothin wrong with savin a little green! i like the tire/wheel set up

Re: Wheels
 

Awesome.

Re: Wheels
 

If you hadn't told me that they were different I sure would not have been able to tell from the pictures. It looks really good.
What size rims and tires are they?

Re: Wheels
 

The pics always make it look better . The paint is original and has flaws but looks good in the shadows . The tires look fine because the pics lose a little detail . I like them but I am picky in certain areas . Tires are one . The tires are 255/55/17 and 275/60/17 on 17x8 and 17x10 Coddington Smoothie 2's. Both front and rear have 4.5 inches of backspace so there are some deep lips on them .

Nice wheels but need a drop!! maybe 4/6

Re: Wheels
 

Check out this photochop that white_paper_180 did for me . The photoshop guys on here are awesome . Probably a little lower than it will be but it does make me want to sit it down there .

Re: Wheels
 

Nice wheels, It'll be slick when you get the drop.

Re: Wheels
 

thats about the same setup i have on my truck, just mines a little lower. It will be nice to see what 17s look like with it lowered, been thinking about getting a set myself.

Re: Wheels
 

very nice looking truck.

Re: Wheels
 

Looks great Frank. I know you have researched it, but those front tires look rather tall and wide. Be careful when you drop it.

Re: Wheels
 

Lookin' good Frank! Nice wheel/tire combo, and I can't wait to see what it looks like with the drop kit on.

Re: Wheels
 

looks really good frank.can't wait to see it "down there".

Re: Wheels
 

wow...looks amazing

Re: Wheels
 

Look'n great Frank... I love the deep offset on them. Definitely lookn forward to seeing it closer to earth :cool:

Re: Wheels
 

Man that is a slick beauty!No matter if its lowered or not.
I need to get some wheels like that,but with all the stupid laws here it´ll be a pain in the back! Do the have some weight rating or papers wich proof the safetytesting?

Re: Wheels
 

Nice truck and wheel combo. Can't wait to see it droped for real.
