bad6772 · 09-20-2009, 12:03 PM

Well I finally got some 20s for Sweet Pea....They are Boss 304s 20x8 in the front and 20x9.5 in the rear....I love them....Although I need to get some smaller tires...They will work for the time being....The fronts are 275/45/20 and the rear are 285/50/20...I may just switch the front tires to the rear...And just buy new front tires....The fronts rub lock to lock while going over bumps....Any suggestions would be great....Thanks Tony....... Here are a few pictures...Sorry for the quality, It was sprinkling ...So My time was limited... Name: IMG_3055.JPG

big_al_71 · 09-20-2009, 01:03 PM

Huge improvement!!!

*Dylan · 09-20-2009, 03:33 PM

It looks WAY better now, that was a good choice! Did you get them used?

bad6772 · 09-20-2009, 03:58 PM

yes they are used, was bought roughly 6 mos ago...

hchad18 · 09-20-2009, 04:12 PM

Why smaller tires? Those look great.

Longhorn Man · 09-20-2009, 04:46 PM

Tony... looks a million times better bro!

LONGHAIR · 09-20-2009, 05:37 PM

hat looks really good Tony.

jb1016 · 09-20-2009, 05:41 PM

Looks awesome man. Exactly what that truck needed, IMHO.

**fine69** · 09-20-2009, 06:23 PM

Looks like crap. Take those wheels off and i will come get them out of your shop. LOL

I so love that green on your truck. Perfect shade.

*Shane* · 09-20-2009, 07:08 PM

Dude! Those look awesome!

killer71 · 09-20-2009, 07:21 PM

Looks Pimp!

unclewatts · 09-21-2009, 12:28 AM

Looks great. What's wrong with the tires you got on it?

**88JRFAN** · 09-21-2009, 12:54 AM

I'm kinda biased, i like both sets of wheels!! So they work for me!!

Aarons72 · 09-21-2009, 02:26 AM

very nice...I agree on the tires...but man, good choice...20's are money

Heck, I thought that was just the price you pay for having big tires!

**special-K** · 09-21-2009, 06:25 AM

I forget what you had before,so I`d be lying if I said it looks better.So,all I can say is,"That`s one sweet looking truck and the wheels look GREAT!! on there".

As much as I`ve always loved shortbeds (and all others) I like seeing yet another longbed dispelling the "only shortbeds..." myth.Now...ever think about painting a guitar that color?or,am I sleeping and you already did?

tcb-1 · 09-21-2009, 06:37 AM

right on!!

jholley · 09-21-2009, 06:57 AM

Nice!

nuke1 · 09-21-2009, 10:52 AM

very nice tony!

**Hart_Rod** · 09-21-2009, 11:47 AM

I think it looks great just the way it is!!! Wear those tires out and then change to a different size if you still want.
