finally decided on wheels

well i finally decided to get some wheels for my project, after alot of thinking i decided on coys. i know they are run alot on our trucks but i wasnt satisfied w/ the look of anything else for the price. I planned on running a 18/20 combo till i came across a really good deal from another board member on a set of 20/22's. the big brown truck is supposed to drop them tomorrow and my tires are waiting at the tire shop for there new mates, i just hope my 2" drop springs,3" drop spindles front and 4" drop coils rear will be enough drop not to look totally getto? the tires are 255/40-20 fr and 265/40-22 toyo proxes st's, if anyone has pics of a similar setup on a lwb i would love to see some pics. excited as hell but nervous at the same time!!

Re: finally decided on wheels

THe coys are probably the best option or best bang for the buck for our trucks. There are better looking wheels, but at 2 or 3 times the price. The Coys do look good though.
Good Selection.

Re: finally decided on wheels

Looking forward to pictures...personally I like it where the tires almost tuck or do when running 20's or 22's...however, you could easily fix that with a 2" drop block or swap to a 6" rear spring if you're not happy with the look when you throw them on there.

Re: finally decided on wheels

Re: finally decided on wheels

Those Coy's are gonna look sweet! Like previously mentioned if the rear isn't low enough you could always throw in a drop block to bring it down some.

Re: finally decided on wheels

Do the Coys fit without spacers? I hear you have to have spacers if you run the Boss 338's.
